  1. Allow users to set amount of emails to delete

    If I am correct, I remember before the updated platform Yahoo allowed users to select how many emails they would want to delete at a time. Currently, I'm reading the current default setting is at 100 emails per delete. I'm only delete 50 emails at a time and it's time consuming. We should have the ability to select a specific reoccurring email address we which to delete and actually do a bit more than 200 at a time. I do realize it will take a bit longer in terms of the system deleting, but seriously, I know you guys can…

  3. Empty a folder content

    I have added several filters for my offers and different newsletters to move emails out of my inbox.
    I have now a folder that has more then 6.5k emails. I need a solution to delete all of the emails of that folder, without having to select all 50 displayed emails and push delete for only those.
    This would also reduce the amount of communication between my UI and your backend.

  4. Keep delete and archive button stationary

    If you have a bunch of emails you want to delete, and you hover over Delete and keep clicking, expecting the same action to happen, but the button shifts over for some emails, you end up doing an action you don't want. Please add any extra buttons at the end, and do not shift everything over!

  6. Deactivate spam filter (which causes damage)

    Your spam filter causes serious damage. It regularly filters out very important emails, which are then lost. It's happened many times that emails with attachments, even important ones, or from addresses you've written to, have been automatically shunted to spam, without you being able to see them.
    Car insurance documents, requests for billing information, special offers for businesses I regularly run.
    Please add a "disable spam filter" button; no more lost important emails.
    Thank you!

  7. Select Multiple Emails Bug

    When I am selecting emails in the list, I get wildly unexpected and different results when holding down shift to check multiple emails at once. Repro: check an email at the top of the list, hold down shift, check an email at the bottom of a list. Expectation: all emails in between will be selected. Result: sometimes it works, sometimes completely random emails are selected. Completely unreliable and unpredictable results.

  11. Email Deletion

    Please return the ability to select the emails that I want to delete such as starred or unstarred. At this point, I am using the basic email format, but I can only select "All" emails for deletion. I also can not see how to move emails into folders. In the new format I can not even find how to delete emails. This is very unfavorable change.

  12. Regarding deleting all messages

    The Yahoo instructions are a little missleading on this page: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/delete-emails-yahoo-mail-sln28054.html
    They say:
    1. Select 1 or more messages by checking the boxes next to the email.
    2. Alternatively, click the Select All icon Select all image in mail at the top to select all displayed messages.
    3. Click the Delete icon Image of the Delete icon. at the top of the page.
    4. Click Ok if prompted.

    2 suggests this is an either/or option, but you HAVE to select one message for the menu that provides "All" to appear. Otherwise, the only ALL to select is the one that

  13. Quick Delete?

    when I do monthly maintenance to delete large numbers of emails, it does not work properly. I select via date range (perhaps 2,000 emails) and when I delete it, it does not work properly. It only deletes the initially selected emails not the whole group. Please make it work properly.

I have to keep scrolling and deleting and scrolling and deleting. Please make it easier to really select all of the mail items from a sender and actually delete all of them!
