  3. popup on deleting an email

    I find the popup that appears on deleting an email, allowing to undo the delete, very annoying. It sticks for far too long, and cannot be closed by clicking outside of it.

  4. Save messages in trash

    Messages should stay in trash longer than 7 days. I needed to refer back to a message that I sent to trash because I thought I was done with that matter of business, turns out I was not. So, I looked in the trash bin and the message is gone because it was more than 7 days old... I am sure I am not the only one this has happened to.

  6. Email deleted because of glitch

    This is the 4th time I'm reporting this error. While in my drafts folder editing an email for final draft I've had multiple emails just get deleted. This time I lost two drafts while editing my email text. Today I was editing and while moving to edit some text and using the backspace button I had two emails suddenly delete. I didn't hit the delete button. I also cant find the deleted email in my trash folder. Why doesn't deleted email go to the trash folder no matter how its deleted? While editing I sometimes notice the web browser get…

  7. select all

    Please bring back the "select all" option for email deletion. I use this email for professional purposes and the amount of targeted emails is overwhelming and it takes far too long to delete them one at a time.

  8. restore deleted draft

    My computer has been acting up the last few days and has been deleting drafts while I am typing them which only frustrating because when a draft email is deleted it is deleted permanently and the yahoo website says it cannot be restored. Can we please change this setting so that a draft email goes into the trash rather than being permanently deleted? Its extremely frustrating to be halfway through a one page email with a lot of detail to then have it be completely deleted.
