Yahoo Mail is my first and primary email account. I've never had any issues in over 12+ years of use. It's a trusted, reliable work-horse. I highly recommend it.

Pros

Yahoo Mail was my first email account and a trusted favorite to this day. It's easy and intuitive to use and customize. Setting up folders, formatting emails, filtering... it's all really simple and straightforward. Also, works well across different devices including my Kindle Fire and iPhone.

Cons

I found it difficult to set up with Microsoft's New Outlook email software. I think this is more a Microsoft issue rather than Yahoo Mail.

Overall experience with Yahoo has been great so far. Far better than my previous email provider.

Pros

I like Yahoo for the storage space that it provides, its low cost and its good spam filters.

Cons

If Yahoo could reduce the number of ads, that would be great.

Yahoo email lacking and behind competing email systems

Reviewed on 16/9/2024

It's frustrating to use. Competing emails seem to be much better.

It's frustrating to use. Competing emails seem to be much better.

Pros

it does basic mail functionality and that's about it. Nothing more than competing email systems.

Cons

1. Doesn't scale. I have been a yahoo email from it's inception and i have decades of email stored and it's become a problem for me such that i am seriously looking to move to gmail.
2. Lack of investment in new technology. Their competitors such as gmail, outlook have deeper pockets and are usually most up to date with new tech features such as AI. Their yahoo usability and user experience are always playing catchup. Why can't they lead!
3. Security. So much scam email. I just use alternative AI agents and it immediately picks them up as scams. Why can't yahoo just embed it in their system!
4. The advertising space takes precedence and such big display size such that your basic email reading is obscured. I have to always scroll down just to read my emails because their advertising takes up screen space. Yahoo's main priority is not user usability but paid advertising. It's not a free app!

Yahoo Mail needs to do better

Reviewed on 19/10/2024

I am very frustrated with Yahoo Mail because authentication emails never get to the inbox.

I am very frustrated with Yahoo Mail because authentication emails never get to the inbox.

Pros

Yahoo mail was easy to set up when I needed an additional email address. The biometric authentication also comes in handy.

Cons

I got a Yahoo Mail account to get a discount on a course and that site now uses "Password-less Authentication." When I try to log in to that site and a verification code is sent to my Yahoo Mail, the email never shows up in the inbox.
