  2. Make a Select All that actually selects all.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE grant the ability for the UI to allow me to select ALL the emails in a category when I select "select all". Right now it only lets me do 100 emails at a time, just the emails that are loaded onto the screen. I have tens of thousands of emails I want to delete at a time. doing 100 emails at a time is going to take forever!

    For example, when I select "offers" tab there needs to be a "select all" selection that allows me to delete them ALL. When I do it now, I select…

  4. How can I delete all SPAM emails?

    Yahoo mails needs much easier mass email functions.
    I should be able to delete all spam or sent emails, and not just 100 at a time. That parameter should be 1,000 at a time.

  6. Make Bulk Delete truly Bulk Delete

    Selecting "ALL" only selects 100.......allow for a larger number to bulk delete......it's time consuming to tidy up the emails, make it easier.......if one deletes something they didn't want to, then that's up to them.....now, you're just wasting peoples time

  8. By making a Mass Delete Option

    I got so much spam that I could out do Spam itself in my mail, but I cannot mass delete anything, even older messages that I have no need for. This completely makes the system unmanageable! It's *! Garbage! * on a stick! ********* Beyond All Recognition! I'm tempted to just close out the account with a ******* All because there isn't a way to quickly clear out junk!

  10. how to bulk delete unread emails

    I HAVE 167,000 UNREAD emails! There is NO WAY to bulk delete these without taking days upon days of my time to do this.
    Can't there be a function to delete ALL unread emails by time? Maybe Choose a time, ie Jan 1, 2005- Jan 1 2006? Even if i could do a year at a time to clear it out would be great.

    Thanks,
    Dan

  11. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  18. 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.
