Deleting Mail
I want the option to Delete ALL my mail. Which means, I want to EMPTY my Mailbox, it's too full. I hate that I can only delete a 100 at a time, it's too time consuming! Please respond quickly, thank you.
You can delete large groups of emails by following the steps here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN16015.html

For years you have not been able to empty your inbox emails, and when you have an abundance you can only delete 40 at a time. Even when you go to your search and have all of your inbox emails come up, you can still only delete oh so many at a time. It would be much more convenient with being able to just empty your inbox like you do your trash or spam folder. Just have it ask if you are sure of your decision.

I have to go page by page checking them off to delete! What a waste of time -- which is why i have over 100K emails and hardly check my Yahoo mail! It's your server that is being eaten up by thousands upon thousands of useless emails because you cannot create a delete all button!

I used to be able to delete 50 or 100 emails at a time, now when I click the box it selects ALL the emails! I cannot change the setting to 50 or 100 etc. I do not want ALL my emails deleted, just 50 or 100 or so at a time. (Note Ctrl+A does the same thing, selects ALL emails, I do not want that!)

I've been using yahoo mail since I was in HS and I am trying to clean all of my emails and trying to delete some folders. Unfortunately deleting emails will take time and a hassle. And sadly i cannot even delete a folder in one click due to emails inside it.
I hope you can do something about this.
Thank you

other competitive email co's allow me to keep the 'last ____# of emails from a specific company' - why not you? IE: retail stores, Bed Bath & Beyond, Michaels, Joanne's Fabric, etc that way the only ones kept are the most current (gather the older ones are deleted)

I have over 17,000 emails that I want to delete. Why on earth do you not allow us to do this? Frustrated...

After you completely delete the message it remains on the screen.

Deleting a group of 50 emails at a time instead of all of them as once if very frustrating.

New design is very slow. Why is there no SHIFT DEL option to delete emails permanently instead of additional effort from TRASH ?

You all @ Yahoo should add a delete all button, so people with too much mail can delete their mail faster.

I would like the ability to delete all emails that are unstarred (even if 999+). At the moment I can only figure out how to delete a few hundred at one time.

Yes I want to know this too????? I will not spend my life deleting only 100 emails when I have at least 50,000.

single delete option needed to delete all mails on month or year wise

Sometimes my inbox can get really out of hand. So, it would be great if I could delete 500 at a time instead of 100. When I have over 4,000 emails in my inbox, only being able to delete 100 at a time is really tedious and time consuming. No, I don't want to just archive it, I want to delete it for good. Please make that available. thanks

why can't I delete old emails that are irrelevant and need to be taken out of my account? I try to click the box to the left, at the top then I click the trash can and it will delete the first few then I try it again and it says it can't delete the emails? Why!???!!! don't you want to get rid of the space these stupid emails I and millions of others don't want and want to get rid of quickly when we go to view emails???!!!

Allow us to choose how many emails we want to delete at a time! I don't always want to select "All" .. sometimes just the first 10 or so

Derek J. Heuser commented
"mark all" needs options for how many to mark, rather than the randomness of 100 or 200, when I'd prefer to select 50.

I have massive amounts of email because a mass delete by date is not allowed. And I don't have time to waste deleting them one at a time. Please help.
