  1. I want to delete all the emails

    Why can't I delete the entire inbox? I don't want to pay for more storage, I just want it all gone. Enable a delete entire inbox feature. Or at least let me delete email in larger chunks than one page at a time. It's tedious to try and delete 20 plus years of email.

  2. SPAM

    I have been attached by spam - and you all are not doing anything to help. I need an automatic spam blocker set up for me. I am NOT computer savvy and I am elderly. I would think you all would understand an help.

  3. Deleting mass emails

    I have been trying to delete my emails for DAYS!! There needs to be a quick way to get rid of all the posts at once. Yes, I waited too long to do this, but I cannot access my email right now. Having to spend 10 hours a day deleting, and then having to go to the Trash and delete again is a major pain, especially for those of us with limited hand use, due to disease.

  5. Help to be made available to ALL users.

    I have deleted a lot of material from my account but the size does not seem to budge. Kindly explain how this works. I have an overlimit note on my account and its frozen. No way to unfreeze it even tho alot of material has been removed. Why dont you set up a help portal which can help us navigate thru this? Now I do not want to buy more space because I know that I have no support. This business model needs to be revamped.

  8. one-click delete

    The Trash folder has a one-click delete option to empty the entire folder with one click. Why can't I do that with my inbox? If I can delete all the emails in my spam folder and all the emails in my trash folder, I should be able to pull up all the unread emails in my inbox and delete them all in one shot as well.

    There's an "unread" feature.. I'm sure everyone has a ton of emails they don't read because it's probably all garbage that got past the spam filter. Mine build up because I don't check my…

  9. Better options to contact help - Deleting and readding a mailbox has currently taken over 24hrs to be disconnected

    tried to delete and reinstall gmail mailbox. Currently over 24hrs witing for it to disconnect. no help or ways to contact online unless signing up for yahoo plus. chat help option would be nice for simple queries that basically just need a server sync update pushed through

    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!

  11. Storage Warning

    I got a storage warning and I've deleted almost half of my inbox, folders and all the larger emails with documents and the GB amount hasn't been updated or changed. I can't call support without paying ?

  13. blocking email senders

    I am sick and tired of all the bad emails I get; keep blocking senders, but emails keep returning from different sender. You must notify sender that I've tried to Block???? Am going to switch to gmail; everyone I know with gmail does not suffer from this problem.

  15. Using the 'block sender' and adding to the format when selecting multiple entries to block in SPAM folder

    I've noticed at times that when you open the SPAM folder and wish to select multiple entries to be discarded by the 'block sender' icon, this icon is NOT always available. This is hypercritical as you would need to individually 'block sender' for each SPAM missive if the top box is checked and you can't 'block sender' for all. Thanks!!

  18. Make it so I can delete emails

    I can no longer delete any emails. It gives me an error message that says Unable to Delete the message. I'm really wondering why I bother keeping this account. It just keeps getting worse and worse.

  19. "Block spam permanently" disappeared - bring it back

    One of the greatest things in Yahoo Mail was that I could click on “all spam” and in the “more” menu, click on Block Senders permanently. In the last couple of days, I can’t find that option. Please put it back so these will never appear again, as it was earlier. Thank you.
