  2. Trash symbols back please

    Can you put back the trash symbols in the 'Deleted items' & 'Spam' folder tabs on the left hand side so you can delete all emails in those folders without having to go into each folder and delete them permanently individually, I don't see why removing that feature is making anyone's life easier. Thank you.

  3. Block and Delete

    Your current option to block and delete spam email does not work. While it may add any address to the blocked sender list, messages are not deleted. It will act as if is deleting the messages (even say that they were), just for them to still be in the Junk folder. It worked previously, now it is broken.

    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!

  4. when selecting multiple emails, it jumps around then defaults to selecting all

    when selecting multiple emails, it jumps around then defaults to selecting all, needs to keep the list as selected and not average the length of the selected emails, for example if you select the first email, then the 20th email, the list will jump from somewhere in the middle and you have to scroll back to the 2nd , and then it jumps back to the new midddle section

  5. Move mail from trash back to the inbox

    There used to be an easy way to move an email you had deleted from the trash back into the Inbox. I've just been struggling for 30 minutes trying to find a way to do that in this "New" yahoo email. I've not found ANYTHING about it that is better than the old yahoo email. I'm now getting WAY more spam email than I ever got before, too.

  6. Need a sweep function as Microsoft Outlook has

    Mass deleting email would be so much easier with a function such as that. The select all messages doesn't work and will only let you delete 100 messages at a time.

    Hi Neil, correct, you can tap on the checkbox in your Inbox and a new checkbox will appear at the top. It allows you to select 100, but when you delete them, a pop up appears in the top middle asking if you want to delete all emails. We do have delete all. Thanks!

  7. Make it easier to bulk delete emails

    It would be nice to have the option to delete ALL the emails from one sender rather than having to go through. select 50, hit delete and so on for outfits that have sent me 3K+ emails. Thank you

  10. Spam trashcan icon in Spam folder name

    The old Yahoo Mail had a Trashcan icon directly next to the Spam folder name. To delete the spam mails, all that was required was to click the Trashcan icon.
    In the new Yahoo Mail, I have to select all the spam mails (in the 'select all' checkbox) and only then I can delete the spam. And I even have to click the 'Are you sure' popup window.
    So more clicks than in the old Yahoo Mail.
    Can you implement this 'one-click spam delete' icon again? Thanks!

    Hi Eddy, we currently have no plans in adding the trash icon for the spam and trash folder. For now, yes you do you have open those folders in order to select all and then delete all. We will share your feedback with the right team.

  11. Deleting in bulk

    It's such a scam that you decided now to limit the amount of email storage. i have been deleting for 2+ hours and haven't made a dent. I don't need the emails. So there's no sense in me purchasing storage space. But now i have to waste my life away trying to delete over a million emails. There has got to be an easier way.

  13. Need help

    I have gotten HUNDREDS of emails from 397774188 with different domains. They dump into my spam folder but can Yahoo block these completely? Examples: 397774188@58xt.maps-kuwait-city.com, 397774188@6w4o.carrepairautoelectrics.com, 397774188@agleadergroup.com, 397774188@andalanindovegas4d.com

    I have tried contacting help desk but get this message "Support from a Yahoo specialist is not available."

    Please make sure you are marking these emails as spam instead of just deleting. Also, if they are newsletters please make sure you unsubscribe from these. We will also share this with our anti-spam team. Thank you!

  14. Make a Select All that actually selects all.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE grant the ability for the UI to allow me to select ALL the emails in a category when I select "select all". Right now it only lets me do 100 emails at a time, just the emails that are loaded onto the screen. I have tens of thousands of emails I want to delete at a time. doing 100 emails at a time is going to take forever!

    For example, when I select "offers" tab there needs to be a "select all" selection that allows me to delete them ALL. When I do it now, I select…

  15. Delete more SPAM

    For some reason there is much more spam coming in. In the past I might only get five a day, now I am getting 50 a day. If I delete a spam I would think you would not send more of the same. Thank you for listening.

    Hi Randall, please do not delete spam, it will come back to your Inbox. Instead mark these emails as spam. This will help your spam filters and prevents the email from coming to your Inbox. So please keep marking as spam. Thanks!

  17. How can I delete all SPAM emails?

    Yahoo mails needs much easier mass email functions.
    I should be able to delete all spam or sent emails, and not just 100 at a time. That parameter should be 1,000 at a time.

  19. Make Bulk Delete truly Bulk Delete

    Selecting "ALL" only selects 100.......allow for a larger number to bulk delete......it's time consuming to tidy up the emails, make it easier.......if one deletes something they didn't want to, then that's up to them.....now, you're just wasting peoples time
