  1. Deleting inbox does not work

    Selected all my emails in my inbox, selected delete (trash can) and nothing happens. Yes the Deleting all messages progress bar churns away. Yes, the screen has a spinner denoting activity. But ultimately I see all the messages in my inbox. Even emptying the trash can does not change the number of messages in my inbox.

    For my use case, this feature is broken. I don't know if this has to do with my account being over 20 years old, but I do not want to pay for storage so I am fine with the deletion of all the messages.

  2. Feedback regarding missing email incident

    Hello,

    Thank you for your assistance with my recent incident. I really appreciate that Yahoo provides an email recovery service.

    However, I would like to share some important feedback about the issue I encountered: when I deleted a draft reply, the original email was also deleted at the same time. What made the situation worse was that the original email did not even appear in the Trash folder, which caused me a lot of stress.

    After some testing, I realized that this problem only occurs with emails sent from Standard Chartered Bank. When I tried with other emails, deleting a…

  3. Location of Message Deleted popup

    After deleting a message in the inbox, the Message Deleted popup covers part of the inbox and interferes with processing the next message. Please move the popup to the bottom of the screen or somewhere else outside of the inbox.

  5. Deleting emails I didn't select

    I select a series of emails to be deleted and it deletes emails that haven't been selected. Usually these emails are above the 1st email selected and have been highlighted in blue. I DON'T WANT THESE EMAILS DELETED SO THEN I HAVE TO GO BACK AND SEARCH MY TRASH. I'm going crazy with this and am ready to dump Yahoo mail. It didn't do this before the upgrade.

  6. Delete Email Notification Placement

    When I delete an email, a notification bubble pops up telling me that the message is deleted and provides me an Undo option.

    The placement of this bubble is right over the bar that has the options to Archive, Move, Delete, Mark as Read, Mark as Spam. If I am casually picking through my emails, I will often be Deleting a message and moving to the next to Delete, but the notification bubble will still be active and I will have to wait for it to disappear before I can click the Delete trash can.

    I realize this is a…

    Hi, I miss the button "filter messages like this..." which you could choose when reading an email.

  10. BLOCK ADDRESSES GOING TO TRASH FOLDER

    When you receive or send a message to the spam folder, you have the option of blocking the e-mail address. For some reason, after blocking the e-mail address, the spam messages go to your trash folder. We do not want spam messages in our Trash folder. After blocking the address why not have technology make the message disappear from your e-mail folder. You have no use nor want evidence of a block address e-mail message. You are not going to read the block address e-mail message in your Trash folder and you end up deleting the message anyway.

  15. Accidentally deleting a draft

    Sometimes when I'm typing a new mail, it would get deleted while I'm still typing. I don't know what I had typed that caused it to be deleted. Please do away with this new feature. Let me delete the draft the old way, by selecting it myself and then trashing it myself.

  17. Problems with new search by sender and then delete all.

    Delete not working properly (at least on Windows 10 with Edge)

    Have to keep refreshing to enable options ...like select the items found.... or going back to inbox after deleting ...usually have to delete line by line, although that is hit or miss since the icons are not displayed in the line.

    Top bar keeps being overwritten

  18. Trash Can icon moves

    I am clicking through old emails with my mouse hovering over the trash can but each time I click it and a new email opens, the trash can moves a little one way or the other so if I keep clicking, sometimes it's the folder and sometimes it's the mark as spam button. Why?? Why isn't it glued in one spot?
