    Hi David, thank you for your feedback. This is mentioned in our email communications and in the help articles, when you delete emails, you also need to empty your Trash folder. Once that folder is emptied, then you'll see the storage number decrease. We also recommend emptying your Spam folder. Thanks!

  2. Select all emails and delete

    We need a select all box so that we can select all emails and delete them. I get thousands of junk emails each year, and I refuse to delete them one by one. If you don't let me delete them all in under 5 minutes of work, I'm going to just let them pile up and waste space on your drives.

    Hi Greg, thanks for your feedback. You can select all and then delete all. :) Just click on a checkbox and a new checkbox will appear at the top. From there you can Select All and then Delete All. Hope this helps!

  3. Allow control of delete confirmation popup

    When I delete email there is a popup confirmation that overlays the icons. If I check the checkbox on some messages then select the delete icon the confirmation popup shows and stays for a while so if I select more messages to delete the trashcan icon is hidden by the popup.

    Can we just have a setting to not show the delete confirmation popup or move its location so it does not overlay the icons.

    I have a monitor rotated to portrait display so the resolution is 1080 wide by 1920 deep. If I move the Yahoo Mail window 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!

  5. easier ways to delete messages

    Right now my box is very full and I am trying to figure out how to delete the messages. This new format is not very user friendly. It is hard to delete large groups of messages which led me to have to delete each message by hand. Not sure if there is a course on how to use this new yahoo as it is definitely not intuitive for me. Right now I am seriously thinking of switching to gmail.com or another email site.

    HI Stephanie, you can certainly bulk delete and delete all. If you click on a checkbox, a new checkbox will appear at the very top and from there you can select all and then delete all. You can also sort your emails by largest size, sender, etc as long as you disable Conversation view under your Settings. Last, you can go to your Manage Storage page and delete emails by attachments, size, etc. Lots of ways to get rid of emai.

  6. stop covering the delete button when I delete on my web browser!

    When I delete an item from my Inbox on the laptop, there is a confirmation screen that appears. The problem is that that screen sits on top of the Delete button so I can't delete another email w/o clearing the hover over. Thus TWO buttons to delete. Please adjust the location of this confirmation screen!

    HI David, can you please send us a video of this happening? Also, your browser and browser version would be helpful since there's so many out there, and the particular one you're using might be the one with the bug. Please send all this info to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Thank you!

  7. 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.

  8. allowing select all for offers, social and newsletter

    you have these very helpful filered views across the top, next to all view and primary view - offers, social, newsletter. If I click on one of these it does not give me the select all box at the very top. I would love that!!!

    Hi Jennifer, looking at your Inbox if you switch to a certain category, whether it's Primary, Offers, etc...just click on one checkbox and a new one will appear at the very top. From there you can select all and then delete all. Hope this helps!

  9. delete more than 100 emails at a time

    I wish I could delete ALL emails or at least 1,000 at a time

    I've been locked out of my emails since aug 2025 and I don't have time to delete 100 at a time when there are over 10K

    also all the junk mail and constant spam mail should not count against me

    You can delete more than 100 emails at a time. Once you tap on a checkbox, a new one will pop up at the top. From there you can select all and then delete all. At first it looks like you're checking 100 emails, but the floating bar that appears allows you and lets you delete ALL the emails.

  10. Be able to delete or change email address

    I have an alias that someone else was allowed to use and I am now getting their emails

  12. 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.

  13. 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!

  14. 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…

    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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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!

  18. 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?

  19. Better ability to stop spam.

    Could you please find a way to stop this?

    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!

  20. 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.
