    Have away to delete all emails in the inbox I have over 10k
    Emails and want to delete

  • krista ingro commented  ·   ·  Report

    It would be nice to delete emails by "pages" and then just click off the ones you don't want to delete...then go to the next page instead of clicking "select all" and having to start unclicking the ones you want to save all over again. This is mind-boggling that there isn't an easier, more efficient way to sort through thousands of emails without having to select and unselect constantly the ones you've already done that too...need it to go page by page or by dates or something!

    STOP PUNISHING USERS BY MAKING THEM ONLY DELETE 100 EMAILS AT A TIME, WE DONT WANT YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS, IN WHAT WORLD IS IT OK TO MAKE SOMEONE SPEND 8 HOURS TO DELETE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF EMAILS 50 OR 100 AT A TIME, THESE ARE REASONS WHY YOUR HATED SO MUCH.

    It's hard to come back to an older email when you literally see over 18k+ mails in it from things you have signed up to in your teens.

    There needs to be a button with an option to select all messages in any folder and delete all of them. I have over 166,000 messages in my inbox on one account that I only have the option of selecting 100 at a time to trash. I would then need to select 100 at a time to delete out of the trash. This is one account. My sbcglobal.net account receives thousands of messages that use the same yahoo interface. It would be helpful to just have an option to click a button to delete all of them. Google does this and can delete at least 15,000 messages at once if not more.

    Please add a erase all mail; button. I have 116,115 unread emails that I don't want to delete one by one.

    ****! I wrote in box above! Should have let me post from that box! Remove it! I said I should be able to delete my inbox or any box by clicking just one box to select all. I should not have to check each message to delete!

    If I have multiple mails that I want to delete I:
    - click trash can on top one, it goes away and focus is then left to old 2nd mail
    - I keep doing that until I have two unread mail
    - when I click on top one it gets deleted but then focus is moved to first read mail after last unread mail

    If I'm doing this fast I frequently just click trash can again thinking I'm about to delete last unread mail but really delete 1st read mail -- which I may have wanted to save

    I have 152,000 unread emails and will continue to clog the Yahoo server until they all for email deletions more than 50 at a time.

    Please make it so we can delete all of our email to trash with one click.

    It takes toooo long to delete them screen by screen and it is a waste of storage.

  • Stacie Bunton commented  ·   ·  Report

    Make it so we can delete all email to the trash can at one time

  • sharon Johnson commented  ·   ·  Report

    No one wants to spend hours deleting emails individually or a small groups of 50.

  • sharon Johnson commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please come up with a way to delete many many emails quickly and easily, Please!

    I end up with a huge amount of old emails that don't get cleaned out because it can't be done on a big scale. We should be able to pick a year and delete in the inbox, not just 50 at a time. Sent folder should have a trash can icon to clear out completely in one step. Emails disappear from my inbox and I assume it is because of the accumulated bulk I have.

    Agree!! Give an option to Batch delete contacts

    Hi Team,

    I am using the web/browser yahoomail client to access my mail . I read the emails on a day to day basis and if I want to delete the email on day/date basis , I don't have it. There is a consolidated delete button on the top but , if I select that , a lot of emails are getting selected and I have to go through all of them.

    Instead, if there is a checkbox next to Today,Yesterday, Lastweek Labels etc then I can select all the emails in this category and delete them all at once. The consolidated delete feature is just time consuming.

    Please come up with a feature which selects all today's , yesterday's , this week's emails , so that we could move all the imp mails to another custom folder and delete all the selected mails in these sections.

    This would be much convenient than the consolidated checkbox selection at the top of the Inbox, for deleting emails( This avoids the hussle for the user to to go through a lot of emails , it's selecting this way)

    Thanks,
    A.Mohan
