  4. It's terrible that you deleted emails due to 12 month inactivity

    I had a lot of old memories in this email account, and even though I connected my gmail account to the yahoo mail one, I was never warned that my account emails would be deleted.

    I understand the need to save disk storage, but as a user, we would never be aware of this deletion policy on our own. Unfortunately, a lot of old childhood emails that I have with family and friends are now gone.

  6. sort by size

    Unbelievable that you don't have option to sort by size. Trying to help my mother reduce their inbox size and you make it impossible. How are you all soo much worse than gmail? The spam filter is HORRIBLE. I just wish they never started using yahoo and they could switch to gmail.

    Please get your act together.

  8. Spam block

    It seems that the 'block sender' option has been removed from the spam emails that have been received by users. Is this in a different spot or is this feature removed? Decluttering an email inbox is important to only getting relevant mail.

  9. SPAM filter is TERRIBLE!

    I'm getting bombarded with spam e-mail daily and the subject lines alone shouldn't make it past your filters. I've been marking them all SPAM and it seems to make no difference what so ever. I block the senders but every e-mail comes from another e-mail. I'm ready to switch to another e-mail provider after 30 years of Yahoo

  10. I want to delete all the emails

    Why can't I delete the entire inbox? I don't want to pay for more storage, I just want it all gone. Enable a delete entire inbox feature. Or at least let me delete email in larger chunks than one page at a time. It's tedious to try and delete 20 plus years of email.

  11. SPAM

    I have been attached by spam - and you all are not doing anything to help. I need an automatic spam blocker set up for me. I am NOT computer savvy and I am elderly. I would think you all would understand an help.

  12. Deleting mass emails

    I have been trying to delete my emails for DAYS!! There needs to be a quick way to get rid of all the posts at once. Yes, I waited too long to do this, but I cannot access my email right now. Having to spend 10 hours a day deleting, and then having to go to the Trash and delete again is a major pain, especially for those of us with limited hand use, due to disease.

  14. Help to be made available to ALL users.

    I have deleted a lot of material from my account but the size does not seem to budge. Kindly explain how this works. I have an overlimit note on my account and its frozen. No way to unfreeze it even tho alot of material has been removed. Why dont you set up a help portal which can help us navigate thru this? Now I do not want to buy more space because I know that I have no support. This business model needs to be revamped.

  17. one-click delete

    The Trash folder has a one-click delete option to empty the entire folder with one click. Why can't I do that with my inbox? If I can delete all the emails in my spam folder and all the emails in my trash folder, I should be able to pull up all the unread emails in my inbox and delete them all in one shot as well.

    There's an "unread" feature.. I'm sure everyone has a ton of emails they don't read because it's probably all garbage that got past the spam filter. Mine build up because I don't check my…

  20. blocking email senders

    I am sick and tired of all the bad emails I get; keep blocking senders, but emails keep returning from different sender. You must notify sender that I've tried to Block???? Am going to switch to gmail; everyone I know with gmail does not suffer from this problem.
