  1. Select all

    If you want us to be able to clean out our inboxes more easily, but a select all back on the screen, so I can empty the entire box without clicking on each message.

  2. No auto delete for trash

    Can we have the option to toggle off the auto delete feature of the trash. Sometimes I forget to save an important email and now it just auto deleted all of it and I have no way of going back. Or if you have to keep then make it it auto deletes anything older than 6 months. I have to get some from Jan that I didnt save so I have to get the one I missed anyways from them that was closer. Thank so much

  5. Restore previous featue of deleting old emails by Sender alphabetically

    I am extremely frustrated that you have deleted your old style of deleting email by Sender listed alphabetically. Your new method is SO time consuming!! I receive so many emails from ads and companies and do not want to spend a crazy amount of time tping in each ad or company to a search box. PLEASE could you RESTORE your original feature of deleting old emails by Sender alphabetically? I have heard the same frustration from friends who also have yahoo email. Many people would greatly appreciate it. My email is jcmichener@yahoo.com. Thank you in advance!

  6. Delete all the emails from a specific sender

    In order to delete old emails in a mass quantity, can you give us an option to select the sender name so we can find all the emails under that sender and remove them quickly. For example I have a billion emails from Indeed. In that case I can write sender name and ask system to delete all at once.

    Thanks you.

  7. ALLOW TO DELETE ALL ADVERTISING, NOT JUST 100 EMAILS AT A TIME

    WHY ONLY 100 EMAILS AT A TIME, IT IS WAY TOO TIME CONSUMING TO DELETE EMAILS

    Hi Tom, from your Inbox, if you click on any checkbox a new checkbox will appear the very top. From there you can Select All and then Delete All. When it's deleting... at the top, you'll see a small popup ask if you want ALL the emails deleted. Thanks!

  8. Sort Parameters

    It would be a good thing to be able to sort by 'Sender' for the entire inbox file rather than have to select a specific Sender at a time. If you want to delete most or all emails for multiple unknown senders, a total sort by 'Sender' would significantly reduce the time to delete and reduce my number of emails. I think I was able to do it one time and have not been able to find the option again; it is like it is no longer accessible. I also could not find an 'Edit' option as suggested in the…

    Hi Barbara, yes you can sort by sender in this version, but just like the other version, you need to disable Conversation view from your Settings. We cannot sort by sender when Conversations are enabled. Once you disable Conversations, sort by sender is an option. Hope this helps!

  9. Batch Delete Search Results (More than 100 emails at a time)

    There needs to be an easy way to delete more than 100 emails at once in the new Yahoo Mail view. Right now I only see the option to delete more than 100 emails at once for entire folders - but there's no way to, for instance, delete all of the emails sent to me by Zillow by searching for Zillow as a sender and then selecting all.

  10. delete all newsletters

    Its great that you have created "Newsletters" and "Social" auto categories but still have to scroll thru screen after to screen to select the emails to delete. Please add a delete all function for these categories so I dont have to scroll thru screen after screen selecting only 100 messages at a time. thanks

  13. mass deleting entire box

    the inbox will not delete all the messages. Ive tried the select all messages it says deleting but they are still there. The amount of trash and inability to filter junk mail effectively makes yahoo mail unusable

  15. Trash symbols back please

    Can you put back the trash symbols in the 'Deleted items' & 'Spam' folder tabs on the left hand side so you can delete all emails in those folders without having to go into each folder and delete them permanently individually, I don't see why removing that feature is making anyone's life easier. Thank you.

  16. Block and Delete

    Your current option to block and delete spam email does not work. While it may add any address to the blocked sender list, messages are not deleted. It will act as if is deleting the messages (even say that they were), just for them to still be in the Junk folder. It worked previously, now it is broken.

    The best way to get rid of spam is to mark as spam, not delete or block! This helps with your spam filters and does exactly what blocking does, prevents that email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam! It is free and part of regular Yahoo Mail. Thanks!

  17. 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

  18. Move mail from trash back to the inbox

    There used to be an easy way to move an email you had deleted from the trash back into the Inbox. I've just been struggling for 30 minutes trying to find a way to do that in this "New" yahoo email. I've not found ANYTHING about it that is better than the old yahoo email. I'm now getting WAY more spam email than I ever got before, too.

  19. Need a sweep function as Microsoft Outlook has

    Mass deleting email would be so much easier with a function such as that. The select all messages doesn't work and will only let you delete 100 messages at a time.

    Hi Neil, correct, you can tap on the checkbox in your Inbox and a new checkbox will appear at the top. It allows you to select 100, but when you delete them, a pop up appears in the top middle asking if you want to delete all emails. We do have delete all. Thanks!

  20. Make it easier to bulk delete emails

    It would be nice to have the option to delete ALL the emails from one sender rather than having to go through. select 50, hit delete and so on for outfits that have sent me 3K+ emails. Thank you
