  1. when selecting multiple emails, it jumps around then defaults to selecting all

    when selecting multiple emails, it jumps around then defaults to selecting all, needs to keep the list as selected and not average the length of the selected emails, for example if you select the first email, then the 20th email, the list will jump from somewhere in the middle and you have to scroll back to the 2nd , and then it jumps back to the new midddle section

  3. Select all Mail

    For some reason, selecting all email is no an intuitive process. Any mail programs I use make it a simple task to select all visible emails to mark them for deletion or move. This interface makes this process and several other tasks impossible to achieve - I can't find a Select All button anywhere.

  4. I continue to lose drafts due to backspacing

    I have lost countless drafts and now have lost the entire folder due to merely backspacing in a document. How to recover these documents which were saved before going back in to edit. This is a huge glitch

  5. Missing Email

    You can improve by not having emails "disappear". I had a specific email that I rec'd. a week or two ago. It is nowhere to be found. Just gone. This is the second or third disappearing email I've noticed since the conversion to the "new" Yahoo mail. The last time I opened this email was on Wednesday or Thursday, 8/27 or 8/28... less than a week ago. I searched all mail for anything from that sender and got no hits. If there's something I should be doing to prevent this please let me know.

  6. selecting

    Selecting mails to delete has been a pain. The delete all unread button is not visible on interface until you select a mail. PLEASE increase visibility for this.

    Even the touch radius of selecting multiple mails allows too much room for user error. I'm trying to select the checkbox for multiple emails but when I'm trying to do it fast, I misclick outside of the checkbox and it opens the mail instead. please increase the radius of that area so that i can select multiple to delete without a misstep.

  7. highlight all emails

    Why can't I highlight all emails for deleting anymore? Where is the tic box? The older system was much easier to use and to navigate. I have over 2000 emails and it takes too long to delete them all one by one. This platform may not be for me anymore.

  8. I've looked online and nothing is simple with bulk deleting.

    I need to be able to sort by sender and bulk delete that sender just by title. Very annoying trying to keep my inbox clean and as it gets out of hand, it gets more annoying. This is being done by other providers, surely you can offer something similar.

  10. make a delete all button

    please make van option to delete entire inbox for the love of god. I get too much spam and did not realize that once all of my "storage" is used up I either have to delete 300k emails one by one or pay for more storage. honestly might consider just making a whole new email on a different website because that's BS! I have had this e mail for about 20 years and I refuse to waste a week of my life I will never get back deleting spam emails.

  15. Unable to delete all messages in a folder

    Hello,

    I'm not sure whom to send this to, but I am unable to free up storage space by deleting all messages in my coupons folder. It only works when I delete 1 at a time.

    can someone quite simply wipe all messages ONLY in my COUPONS folder?

    Or better yet, fix it...

    thanks,
    pavel

  17. full mailbox

    Storage Exceeded
    I received an e-mail stating that my storage was exceeded on Aug 15th, and I had to address it immediately otherwise i could not send or receive e-mail. I did something about it when I could on Aug 18th. But now I have no e-mails received between Aug 15th and 18th. This is unacceptable, if you are going to do this, you should archive any emails from this time and when I addressed the issue, reinstate those e-mails so that I am not missing any important e-mails. Or at a minimum, give more time to address this issue.

  18. make it easier to remove multiple emails at once

    If you want me to free up storage, please remove the default that only allows me to remove 100 emails at a time. I want to remove five years worth of emails at once.

    I need to do this before the August 27th deadline.

  19. don't delete drafts

    Stop deleting my emails as I am writing them. This new yahoo mail is so terrible. Twice, I was writing an email and clicked delete to backspace and remove some characters, and yahoo deleted my draft with no way of getting it back. Why would it delete without going into my trash. I am working on a macbook pro and maybe my hand hit the track pad at the same time. I have no idea. I am teased by friends for still using yahoo email, and now yahoo is asking me to pay for it. I was thinking of doing…

  20. Automatically deleting trash emails

    In the cox email, we had the option to auto delete anything put in the trash folder. Yes, we have to pay attention as it's not recoverable. BUT, the trash takes up space. Is there a way for me to auto delete? Thank you, Marty in AZ
