Yahoo Mail Basic



Basic Mail provides base functionality like reading and writing messages, but does not include many of the advanced options. To use these features, we recommend upgrading to full-featured version of Yahoo Mail.

Tell us how we can improve your Yahoo Mail – Basic experience. The more specific your feedback, the more useful for us. While we can’t respond to every suggestion, we review regularly and take them very seriously. Our Guidelines have more on how you can give great feedback.

  10. I don't mind ads until they take up part of message and I can't read my it!

    I told you to cut back on the size of the ad. I know you must have them but if they block the email they are too big!
    Now I have another problem with the ads; they are coming on over the area I am suppose to have to get to the next idem.
    I don't think you will change or even answer; so I must lost yahoo in favor of another service.

  15. gmail will earn another customer. Yahoo ads are a money grab on our convenience.

    here is an idea. instead of making money just to bnombard the screen with ads, why not give a choice to view ads, or delete the moment t
    they appear? yahoo needs more money for what? gmail here I come.
    after years of enjoying yahoo, they take our preference mail and change to another "new" mail that absolutely no one likes.
    Time to put your thinking caps on yahoo

    I have a premium account with Yahoo. I travel to Thailand 3 times per year. On every trip I am required to confirm by getting an email at AOL. Now AOL is doing the same thing. I spend over 13 weeks per year in Thailand and cannot login.

  19. "********* to the Outhouse"

    You have turned the finest Email site into GARBAGE! I have had a yahoo account for 20+ years and I'm ready to dump it for Gmail. It operates so slowly I literally have to wait 30 seconds+ for it to respond to my keystrokes while it tries to load some "******** Ad".
    I know I'm only one of your "millions of customers" and you probably don't care if I leave, but I don't have any problems with Gmail or Comcast mail, so you lose. I don't have to pay for ads on the other sites for fast service.
    I don't…

  20. Why must I get a code EVERY DAY to sign into my mail when I have had the same account for years and the same computer for years.

    Stop making me get a code every day to sign in on the same computer and same account I have been using for years. What's up with you guys now? Seriously, this is exaspirating.
