  1. email deleting

    I have over 160,000 emails but I can only delete 100 at a time. That would take so much time to go through and delete all of those. Why isn't there a system in place to delete them all at once.

  3. Auto Delete

    "Bulk Delete - Click on a checkbox from your Inbox and a new checkbox will appear at the top. From there you can Select All and Delete All." - Only 100 messages can be selected at a time, requiring you to repeatedly scroll and select in increments of 100. This process is very time-consuming. It would be more efficient to have an option to automatically delete messages from a specific folder after a set number of days.

  4. Fix a message-selection BUG

    Please fix this bug promptly: I'm looking at the Offers category in my Inbox. I see a few adjacent messages that I want to delete. I click the checkbox on the first of these messages, then I hold Shift and click the last of these messages. Mail should select all of the messages between the two that I clicked.

    However, Mail selects far more than just those messages. It selects either (1) ALL of the messages from the first that I checked to the last message in the Offers category (if the second message selected was below the first), or…

    Hi William, thanks for the feedback. We tried replicating the issue above and couldn't, therefore we need more info from you! Can you please send us a video of what you're seeing along with browser and browser version? Please send to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Thanks!

  5. Second request - please fix the broken "Block all Senders" function

    I previously opened an earlier issue about how your "Block all Senders" function in the Spam folder automatically calls a "Delete all emails" function that operates EXTREMELY slowly.

    I noticed that the behavior of that function has now changed - it is still just as SLOW as it always has been, but now it also... does not actually Delete anything.

    The popup appears, says it is a deleting all emails, then... absolutely nothing happens. The emails are still there.

    Please fire the moron who "wrote" this code sloppily copy/pasted from an AI chatbot and hire someone who knows how to…

    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!

  6. PAYING FOR STORAGE What real emails does this ENOUGH Play fair

    I already pay you for storage. This is unheard of with any emails. I am paying you 3.oo per month.
    I have deleted emails

    I am staying. I have deleted emails OPEN and ALLOW all My emails moving forward Please

    Yes, we've announced some storage changes to align more with the market changes. Most email clients have made this change already. If you have additional questions on the storage changes, please feel free to check out our FAQs: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/yahoo-mail-storage-faq-sln37064.html.

  7. deleting emails

    There is no option to mass delete emails in just a few clicks on the new yahoo mail app.

    Please restore the option where you can select the boxes "today", "yesterday', and "earlier this week"

    That was the easiest way to delete mass emails.

  8. Search for large attachments

    It would be good to have a search possibility to find either large attachments or large emails so these can be identified and deleted. Currently this is not possible and it would nice to have such a feature so I don't take up unnecessarily large disc capacity.

    Thank you.

    Hi Knut, thanks for your feedback. You can find emails based on the largest ones first. When looking at your Inbox, in the top, right hand side you'll see the Sorting icon. Click on that and one of your choices is Largest First. Thanks!

  9. Add the select all back to delete ALL of your messages at once

    From any device I should be able to select WITH ONE BUTTON all of my emails to delete. This is literally the ONLY reason I use you email service. Add it back, please?

    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!

  11. tell me how to delete sexually oriented spam

    I cannot even mark these as spam or possible threats without it connecting to it. I can't even delete them! That's just not right.

  12. Query unique senders and bulk delete or bulk save

    To help with email deletions, it would be helpful to be able to query unique or similar email address. Such as show me everything sent by ebay. Then I can bulk protect them from deletion by putting them in a folder or mark them as protected from any deletion method. Or I could bulk delete everything from the sender. A user could enter a query such as sender like "progressive" and every version of sender with progressive in the name, case insensitive will appear on a list. Check a box next to them and then delete all emails…

    Hi John, you definitely have more sorting options once you disable Conversation view. When you disable this, you will see Sort by Sender as an option. You can also search by sender by clicking on the Sender's Logo/Avatar from your Inbox. Thanks!

  14. Don't automatically delete trash

    Please stop auto deleting the trash inbox.

    I recently started using Yahoo mail more and more. I deleted something I didn't realize i deleted. I went back to find an email and it was no where to be found. Checked trash and noticed all of my older emails were gone. I am guessing what I needed was in there. I didn't know emails were automatically deleted in the trash after 7 days.

    EVEN if you wanted to keep that feature it should be a longer period of time. 7 days is not enough. Google gives you 30 days. I really…

    Hi Anna, yes correct we do auto delete your Trash after 7 days. We've been doing this for awhile with no issues or any concerns from our Community. Reason we have no plans in changing this is because our our new Storage Limitations. Emails in trash and spam folders count in your Storage.

    We recommend archiving your emails instead of deleting. Emails archived will always be in your Inbox. Hope this helps!

  15. Delete all emails

    I am unable to delete all my emails in my inbox. The system will allow you to click on all emails, yet will only delete 100, which is not helpful. The system will only allow more to be deleted if you actively review all of them, which is not helpful. What are my options to fully delete my inbox?

  16. Renaming and deleting folders

    Tried every way I could think of to change name of a folder or to delete it and add new one instead. When right clicking the folder please add "rename" and "delete" to the menu list of actions.

    Hi Ruth, if you are trying to manage your folder or subfolders, it's not a right click, but instead hover on the right side of the folder and "..." (three dots) will appear. From there you can manage or even delete folders. Hope this helps!

  17. Deleting Emails

    Maybe if Yahoo did a better job of identifying and not allowing spam/junk emails, people, such as myself, would care more about deleting their emails. I went through months of deleting emails, reporting spam, unsubscribing, etc. That did NOTHING to reduce the amount of spam/junk emails I received. In fact, I seemed to get more spam and junk mail. I do not have several hours a week to delete emails. Even if I did, I would not want to spend those hours deleting emails.

    Are these legit junk emails or newsletter/promotional type emails from stores, etc? Big difference. For legit spammy emails, please "mark as spam" instead of deleting. For other coupon/promotional type emails like from stores, unsubscribe, at one point (even if you don't remember) you subscribed to these emails. Hope this helps!

  18. deleted emails

    access to deleted emails. I had an email with important pics from 2015 and it was deleted. I thought I had been scammed but when I reached out to Customer service they explained that bc I havent used yahoo within a year it was deleted. even that was sketchy . I have no trace of those photos

    f your account has had no activity for 365 days, then the account is deactivated. We communicate this a few times which includes sending you an email to your alternative email account, so make sure that is updated. If you need help reinstating, contact our CC team at help.yahoo.com. They have the tools to help with these issues. Hope this helps!

  20. Remove or move the delet confirmation

    When you select multiple e-mails to delete and then delete. The confirmation message overlays the menu, and you have to double click to make the confirmation disappear before you can take the next action (like delete more junk mail).
