  3. Unable to delete all messages in a folder

    Hello,

    I'm not sure whom to send this to, but I am unable to free up storage space by deleting all messages in my coupons folder. It only works when I delete 1 at a time.

    can someone quite simply wipe all messages ONLY in my COUPONS folder?

    Or better yet, fix it...

    thanks,
    pavel

  5. full mailbox

    Storage Exceeded
    I received an e-mail stating that my storage was exceeded on Aug 15th, and I had to address it immediately otherwise i could not send or receive e-mail. I did something about it when I could on Aug 18th. But now I have no e-mails received between Aug 15th and 18th. This is unacceptable, if you are going to do this, you should archive any emails from this time and when I addressed the issue, reinstate those e-mails so that I am not missing any important e-mails. Or at a minimum, give more time to address this issue.

  6. make it easier to remove multiple emails at once

    If you want me to free up storage, please remove the default that only allows me to remove 100 emails at a time. I want to remove five years worth of emails at once.

    I need to do this before the August 27th deadline.

  7. don't delete drafts

    Stop deleting my emails as I am writing them. This new yahoo mail is so terrible. Twice, I was writing an email and clicked delete to backspace and remove some characters, and yahoo deleted my draft with no way of getting it back. Why would it delete without going into my trash. I am working on a macbook pro and maybe my hand hit the track pad at the same time. I have no idea. I am teased by friends for still using yahoo email, and now yahoo is asking me to pay for it. I was thinking of doing…

  8. Automatically deleting trash emails

    In the cox email, we had the option to auto delete anything put in the trash folder. Yes, we have to pay attention as it's not recoverable. BUT, the trash takes up space. Is there a way for me to auto delete? Thank you, Marty in AZ

  9. Old Email Archive

    I had old emails from family members and such who have since passed. I logged in occasionally but was stunned to see EVERY EMAIL just gone. Deleted. Is there anyway to get my old messages restored?

  11. bring back the 'check all' option

    The new interface is terrible. Not being able to mass delete easily is driving me to give up on yahoo.

  12. Why are the sender's email addresses no longer being shown when THIS is a SECURITY ISSUE!!!

    Why are the sender's email addresses no longer being shown when THIS is an ESSENTIAL SECURITY ISSUE!!! The easiest way to determine if an email is fraudulent or not is SIMPLY BY LOOKING AT the sender's actual email address instead of "whoever they claim they are"! By yahoo NO LONGER SHOWING IN CLEAR VIEW every sender's email address' just makes EVERYTHING that much MORE DIFFICULT to identify spams, scams, and phishing emails. Yahoo needs to return the sender's email address to being in CLEAR VIEW in EVERY EMAIL! You shouldn't have to go through the extra step of hovering the…

  13. Delete doesn't delete

    I have tried several times / several ways to delete emails and they don't delete. They never go away. I've tried resetting browser, deleting history, etc and they are still there after the pop up says deleted. I've concluded that you just want money from me to pay for the storage space.

  14. Emptying the Trash Folder

    What I wrote below was provided in the feedback section about a but in the old and new Yahoo mail. I don't know why it's being posted as an idea:

    In both the old Yahoo mail and the new one which I just started to use, if I try to delete multiple emails in the Trash Folder, north of a few thousand, it gives me the option to delete all and shows the number of messages. On numerous occasions (again with the old and the new email) I have asked it to delete all and it proceeds to do so…

  15. Deleting one by one is a nightmare.

    I am trying to delete junk email but have to select them one by one. I don't have the time to do that. Why can't we select 100 at a time like under spam?!
