WHAT'S NEW?
AI Summaries - Ability to disable. Go to Settings > AI Features > Toggle Off
Number of Total Messages - Hover over the Inbox Icon and you will see both total number of messages and unread.
Sender's Email Address - You don't have to open the message to see the sender's email address. Just hover over the sender's name from your Inbox.

Inbox Categories - You can go back to having just ONE Inbox. Go to Settings > Personalize Inbox.
Keep Folders Expanded - First expand left hand column by hovering on Inbox edge until you see Double Arrows. Then a drop down will show up next to Folders. 
Bulk Delete - Click on a checkbox from your Inbox and a new checkbox will appear at the top. From there you can Select All and Delete All.
Drag and drop messages to folders - Just click and hold on an email message, then drag and drop that message into a different folder.

  1. Keyboard Shortcuts

    Allow pressing delete key to delete checked emails. This is always how I used to delete emails before. I know it's not a huge deal to have to click the trash icon, but I can work faster on my keyboard and this shortcut was nice.

  2. Delete e-mail

    With the new UI I think the pop-up that says "Message Deleted" appears right on top of the Delete button. I typically delete my e-mails in preview mode which I don't see as an option in the new UI which allows me to see the e-mail briefly and then click the Delete button in most cases. Now I have to open the e-mail click Delete, then wait for the pop-up to disappear or manually close it, before I can delete the next e-mail. If you just move that pop-up off to the right of the toolbar then I would be…

    Three times I have been writing an email and suddenly yahoo just says your email has been deleted. It just happened to me 11:47am 6/20/25 AZ time. I am so frustrated. I don't know why this happens and how to stop it.

  4. Space

    Why is it that after I have deleted over 3/4 of all folders and files from my Yahoo mail account that you still say that I have the EXACT same usage at 16.55 Gigs? When will this ever be updated?

  5. Your deletion policy needs improvement

    Your deletion process is a failure. I imagine it is set up to stop deletion. If you offer to delete all it does not delete all just !00 messages. Allow total deletion in reality.

  7. Urgently cleaning out Mailbox size

    I am trying desperately after 20+ years on Yahoo to delete large emails. How can I tell what the size is of the attachments? I have deleted 1000's of emails and photos and hasn't made a dent. I need a way filter largest, or by type, and ALSO by oldest. This is really pressure and more tools to select many and delete would be very helpful.

    Make select all be able to actually select all of the emails filtered. Trying to get down to the new 20gb limit and it is difficult with the current UI limitations!

  11. Deleting more than 100 messages

    When selecting more than 100 messages in a folder to delete them, Yahoo doesn't complete the action, only deleting the first 100 chosen messages.

  12. Sent email delete

    Hi, I'm focused on deleting messages in my sent folder. Could we have the same sorting options in sent that we have in the IN box? Also, I have a problem with the auto return from the old emails I'm deleting to the most recent emails. Would it be possible to make that an option instead of automatic?

  14. Deleting mass email

    Hello,

    I have googled this with no real help. How do I delete mass email quickly without losing a certain amount? I'm trying to delete from 2024 back without losing 2025 emails in a certain folder. I don't want to check box each email in 2024 or 2025 (by reverse, delete tab upper left). Also, once again Yahoo has changed the yahoomail page and made it horrible, harder to easily know what is what with different shades to distinguish read, unread. I just now found I could go into settings and change back to old page, thank Buddha. Why make…

  15. Bulk Delete Broken!

    I've tried multiple times, following the directions given by Yahoo, to delete everything in my inbox. I get a progress bar indicating that it's working and a message at the end saying that all messages have been deleted, but the emails never get deleted! Please fix this!

  16. Using Words "TODAY" AND "YESTERDAY" for the Date

    I recently got off the telephone with tech support to address the issue that follows. After researching it, they said there is nothing that can be done about it and suggested I send it in via a feedback form. I absolutely cannot understand why the numeric dating was taken out of incoming and outgoing emails. Using the words "TODAY" and "YESTERDAY" totally blows efficient process time out of the water. When emails are printed, I then have to manually cross off the word and handwrite the date that it was sent or received. This is so archaic and I cannot…

  20. Mass deleting emails by year or sender

    There should be a way to mass delete emails by year or sender. So, for example, I have emails going back to 2013, but there's no way to mass delete everything by time period. If I want to delete everything from 2013-2020, there's no way to do that. Similarly, there should be a way to delete all emails by sender. I have found a way to do that on my Android app (although I don't think it actually deletes all of them), but not on the desktop site. I'm pretty sure I have ten gazillion emails from Amazon and wish…
