  1. Remove or move the delet confirmation

    When you select multiple e-mails to delete and then delete. The confirmation message overlays the menu, and you have to double click to make the confirmation disappear before you can take the next action (like delete more junk mail).

    If your account has had no activity for 365 days, then the account is deactivated. We communicate this a few times which includes sending you an email to your alternative email account, so make sure that is updated. If you need help reinstating, contact our CC team at help.yahoo.com. They have the tools to help with these issues. Hope this helps!

  8. Deleting Sent Emails

    This absolute nonsense. I have spent the better part of the morning deleting sent emails going back to 2011. Thos emails had already been deleted. Why am I having to go through this again? I haven't a clue how far this goes back to. What the heck is going on with your guy's. BTW I am having a dickens of time getting into my YAHOO email taking forever to get in and once I am in I am getting an error message site is not responding message.

  9. Negative Feedback on Email Deletion

    This is not a suggestion but, rather, a passionate complaint. I recently logged back in to review emails from some time ago to discover that my entire inbox has been permanently deleted. From a customer standpoint, this is severely disappointing as I had many memories and important correspondence stored. This information may not be relevant within the timeframe of your new retention policy but it certainly still holds value over wider spans of time (checking every 1-3 years).

    The decision to permanently delete rather than archiving make yahoo mail a much less user friendly option and honestly removes any reason…

  11. Bulk Delete Not Working

    Bulk Delete - Click on a checkbox from your Inbox and a new checkbox will appear at the top. From there you can Select All and Delete All.

    It's not working! It used to. Please bring it back. It's so annoying to have to delete each item separately. This is on a laptop.

  14. Turn off next email opening automatically

    When I delete an email, the next one is opened automatically. Please turn this feature OFF. I want to open each one manually when I have time.

  15. Double delete the mail

    For a few months now my email has started deleteing two of my messages when I am only trying to delete one. Not a good thing to be happening. Not even in the new mail yet. Must be an update to the old mail. More spam is getting through also. I had tried the new mail a while back and it didn't handle the spam as well so I had switched back to the old mail as long as it is available.

  20. 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
