  2. 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.

  3. 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…

  5. Delete All

    Why did you take away the option to select all in our spam and trash folders AND remove the trash button next to each folder to easily delete? I'm just going to keep all my trash now because it's such a hassle to delete!

  6. Draft emails are too easily deleted in this new version and are not being redirected to the Trash (was there any testing done for this?)

    Really getting ****** that Yahoo email is jumping out of the body of a drafted message and then deletes the entire drafted email when I hit backspace or delete.

    If its going to do that, it either needs to ask me if I'm sure that I want to delete the draft or place the draft in the Trash, which it is not doing.

  8. Delete Trash.

    Up until about a week ago, there was the ability to select to delete all of the items in the Trash. That option is no longer available.

  10. Empty Trash and Spam folders more quickly and faster

    Why do we seem now to have to click on each email in both the Trash and Spam before we can empty the folders?
    Very recently, we only needed one or two clicks to empty them. Why the change?

    Is there now a much quicker way to empty?

  11. delete all?

    Make the help section readable and searchable. Put the delete all button back on the top of the pages. The last thing i want to do is spend 6 hours deleting individual emails. If There is a way to enable it, please see very first sentence. This is FUBAR.
    Ease of use. Ease of use. Ease of use. Remember Proton mail is a click away.

  12. Why was the Check All box removed?

    Why does it seem like Yahoo mail is becoming more difficult? You force us on to this lousy UI where an extra click is necessary to get to Spam and Trash and now we have to click every single email in a folder to remove them?

  13. Can't DElete

    Why the **** isn't delete working for removing trash and spam? Every new "improvement" does nothing but cause more problems. What happened to being able to bring up a menu of all of the mail options, select trash or spam and click on delete and have it gone This whole thing is an incredible mess. Go back to the old one

  15. Return to the old format before the update

    I dislike the new yahoo email. Things are hidden now that were out in the open. For instance, I have to hit the unread emails to get all the new emails that have come in to me. The inbox doesn't show them all. I would like the delete function out in the open instead of having to click somewhere else for it, it was better placed before. This and more is why I hate updates because changes are made that really don't need to be made to function and the user needs to basically be retaught and shouldn't have to…

  17. Like to see Yahoo Improve Spam filtering

    Recently I have seen an uptick of Spam messages which are continuously changing their From and Subject signatures. Specifically, they are using "UTF-8?B?" signatures in the From and Subject which constantly changes so that Yahoo's present filtering is unable to catch. Without improved spam filtering, my time is being wasted deleting this garbage and I may need to move on from Yahoo mail. It would seem the paid version has something more powerful to eliminate this but this far that's not been the case.

  18. select today for delete all

    Why would you take out the option to have a button to select all in order to delele several emails at once. You use to be able to separate your emails by day and week, then be able to delete them all at once. Now you force us to delete each email one at a time. it is very time consuming. If you did this to force us to pay for your subscription in order to have this feature, then you may have just found a way to lose your members and go to another provider. Or at least just…
