  1. Email Box Clean-Up help

    Hi, I would like to have the ability to search for a email address and mass delete messages. For example I unsubscribed to newsletter I don't use any more but have 2000+ emails, would be nice if there is a way to search and mass delete messages you unsubscribed too. Maybe even a feature of the unsubsribe button.

  3. SEARCH and/or Sort

    I am new from transfer from Comcast, that had excellent email sort by (column: name, date, etc) options. I cannot find any such capability on Yahoo. The need is to search by SENDER, etec., so I can see my emails, select the ones I do not want in that group, and delete them. I realize Yahoo sells storage, but this necessary to manage and delete old emails.

  4. The search in the new web UI is much worse than the old UI

    For example, searching for "EVGA" to find an old receipt yields 0 results. Searching for the same thing in the iOS app finds the mail with the receipt immediately

  5. Add a filter in the inbox with mail size

    I want to delete my mails with the biggest file size, but I can't filter on this. The data consumption for Yahoo is huge when I can't delete the biggest ones.

    Yes, you can delete by size! You can go to your Settings and then click on the storage cloud icon. From there you can sort by largest files. You can also do this by looking at your Inbox, and to the top, right hand side, you'll see the sorting icon and one of your choices is "Largest First." Thanks.

  6. Sort emails alphabetically

    Add ability to Sort emails alphabetically so items from same sender can be grouped together for easy Moving or Deleting.

  10. What happened to 3000+ e-mails

    Dear Sirs,
    I was very uneasy about switching to the Yahoo service. I have been a Comcast/Xfinity customer for over 30 years. I have lost easily several thousand e-mails in the transition. Many of those I would likely have deleted anyway but now it seems like I have maybe a hundred e-mails when it was formerly in the thousands. Is there anyway to retrieve everything that has been lost?
    What does your statement mean, "I have a product subscription that includes technical support?" That was not a requirement with Comcast/Xfinity or was it included in my monthly fee? Does Yahoo…

    Please make sure you are marking these emails as spam instead of just deleting. Also, if they are newsletters please make sure you unsubscribe from these. We will also share this with our anti-spam team. Thank you!

    Hi there, sort alphabetical....we do have sort by sender, which is most requested by our Community. Sort be sender can work the same. If you disable Conversation view under your Settings, you will see Sort By Sender as one of your choices. Hope this helps!
