  5. bulk delete before a date

    I would like to be able to bulk delete emails messages before a certain date. For example, I have over 100k messages in this in-box. Currently I can only delete 100 at a time. I would like to be able to delete all emails in the in-box before the year 2000.

  6. Storage mandate feels like a scam

    I've deleted literally every email, attachment, image, everything from my email. And it still shows me using 36 GB of storage. I literally have nothing but am using 'all of the allotted storage'. This feels like a scam to force people to pay for the larger (and still vastly smaller than it used to be) storage space.

  7. Why not allow us to delete all/many emails at once

    Why not fix your piece of **** tech??? Trying to delete all or a large portion of emails is all but impossible, given your pathetically poor programming. Yes, in "theory" this is possible. But in actuality it's not.

  13. Auto Deletion of Trash

    It would be nice if you had periodic and automatic deletion of email in TRASH. Giving a few optional periods of retention of these emails would be optimal.

  18. PLEASE RESTORE THE TRASH EMPTYING 7-DAY SCHEDULE

    Despite their FAQ page info Yahoo Mail has NOT been emptying my Trash folder every 7 days. Evidently this is their way of forcing me into a $14/monthly paywalled plan by leaving almost 800,000 emails in my Trash folder without emptying them and claiming "Your mailbox storage is full" even though my inbox is currently EMPTY. How can I "manage storage" when Yahoo has apparently disabled the only effective tool to manage it? Hmmmm... could it be they're just after my money without providing any added value?
