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.

  1. I want my contacts back. Your changes are negatives. I hate your new version. Why do you think this is what we want? Get real.

    Why do you make changes without thinking? If it ain't broken don't fix it. I lost my entire contact list and there is no option to fix on the basic site because your changes are messing it up. Stop trying to make something people DONT want!

  2. Switch it back to the Yahoo Classic mail. The new version is the worst one available on the web...

    The functionality is non-existent. You have to click through every thing. Nothing is intuitive or where you expect it to be. There are Ads below the buttons, which makes no sense at all. Things take forever to load, upload, and attach. You have a dumb pop-up confirmation window that you have to click through after sending the message (USELESS! Give me a pop-up if it is NOT successful.) It looks like *, functions like *, and makes no sense at all how the page, button, and things are organized. All that being said, the Basic version is leaps…

  4. Can't change number of messages per page in Basic OR Full Featured Mail

    Please make the number of messages per page an option with Basic AND Full Featured Mail. It is no longer possible. Options should be 25, 50, 100 and 200 at least.

  5. Don't worry about my security!

    Most of my email is just SPAM! When a site wants an email address or cell phone number (unavailable) for log in.

    I use an email program because logging in to Mail.Yahoo.Com is pain, loading is slower, and there are no added benefits, like decent stationery.

    Rumor has it that advertisements can contain malware and tracking. Are they delivered via SSL from a reliable source?

  6. I think you need to supply people with actual live customer support for problems because, your help section is nothing but run around.

    Add contact info (real info) not a 800 # with a recorded message telling you to go to your site for help. Your site is nothing but run around and offers no real help. Especially to people that have had their info hacked or changed making it impossible to fix or do anything you suggest. It's a joke you offer nothing in the form of support but robo responses. Add live chat support. A company this big who has been buying up others services can surely do this and afford it. Show you truly care about the people who use…

  12. Fix Please!

    So now I can no longer select and move emails into My Folders. I get a message saying "There was a problem! No folder selected. Please select a folder and try again." which is not true. Lately it's one thing after another with Yahoo mail. Please correct.

  15. Password

    I should not have to change my password. This is something that should be up to me if I want to keep the one I have. This is just really a way to try to get my phone number by saying if I forget.

    For the past week I have had trouble getting access to my e-mail. I am tired of constantly having to change my password and getting secret codes sent to another device every time I want to read an e-mail. Please give me a human being to call so that I can resolve whatever at Yahoo is blocking my access. Have you changed your system to something that has flaws?
