Protect Starred/Tagged Emails from "Select All" Deletion
The 'Select All' feature is fantastic for quickly clearing junk. However, when 'Select All' is used, it includes emails that I have already marked as Starred (or otherwise "tagged important").
My suggestion is that the system should be designed to automatically exclude any emails that are Starred/Tagged Important when the user selects 'Select All' for deletion. This would prevent accidentally deleting priority messages while mass-clearing the inbox.
In short: Starred/Important emails should be protected from the 'Select All' function for deletion.

when marking with a STAR, do not check the box automatically--this marks that important email FOR DELETION!!! If you don't go back and uncheck the box, it will be deleted when you are clearing unneeded emails. This is a really stupid feature that got added and unintentionally deletes important emails. Let users click the box and perform the needed functions. STOP THE AUTO CHECKMARK OF THE BOX!!! Just because it is STAR as important does not mean it is getting moved into a file. Yahoo is making more unnecessary work for their users--it is NOT HELPFUL
