  2. Turn off next email opening automatically

    When I delete an email, the next one is opened automatically. Please turn this feature OFF. I want to open each one manually when I have time.

  3. New to Yahoo Mail and find it nothing but wanting money

    How do I go back to Xfinity mail? This is too confusing for me. Ads I've never had and I refuse to pay to get rid of them! Absolutely ridiculous!

  4. Select all

    If you want us to be able to clean out our inboxes more easily, but a select all back on the screen, so I can empty the entire box without clicking on each message.

  5. No auto delete for trash

    Can we have the option to toggle off the auto delete feature of the trash. Sometimes I forget to save an important email and now it just auto deleted all of it and I have no way of going back. Or if you have to keep then make it it auto deletes anything older than 6 months. I have to get some from Jan that I didnt save so I have to get the one I missed anyways from them that was closer. Thank so much

  8. Restore previous featue of deleting old emails by Sender alphabetically

    I am extremely frustrated that you have deleted your old style of deleting email by Sender listed alphabetically. Your new method is SO time consuming!! I receive so many emails from ads and companies and do not want to spend a crazy amount of time tping in each ad or company to a search box. PLEASE could you RESTORE your original feature of deleting old emails by Sender alphabetically? I have heard the same frustration from friends who also have yahoo email. Many people would greatly appreciate it. My email is jcmichener@yahoo.com. Thank you in advance!

  9. Delete all the emails from a specific sender

    In order to delete old emails in a mass quantity, can you give us an option to select the sender name so we can find all the emails under that sender and remove them quickly. For example I have a billion emails from Indeed. In that case I can write sender name and ask system to delete all at once.

    Thanks you.

  10. Batch Delete Search Results (More than 100 emails at a time)

    There needs to be an easy way to delete more than 100 emails at once in the new Yahoo Mail view. Right now I only see the option to delete more than 100 emails at once for entire folders - but there's no way to, for instance, delete all of the emails sent to me by Zillow by searching for Zillow as a sender and then selecting all.

  11. delete all newsletters

    Its great that you have created "Newsletters" and "Social" auto categories but still have to scroll thru screen after to screen to select the emails to delete. Please add a delete all function for these categories so I dont have to scroll thru screen after screen selecting only 100 messages at a time. thanks

  14. mass deleting entire box

    the inbox will not delete all the messages. Ive tried the select all messages it says deleting but they are still there. The amount of trash and inability to filter junk mail effectively makes yahoo mail unusable

  16. 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

  17. 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.

  18. 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

  20. 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.
