  1. Deleting more that 100 emails

    I tried to delete 250K email from my archive folder. I see that every time I seleted 100 emails, it allowed me to select all the emails in the folder; However, when I hit delete all, it did not delete anything. Even though, it seems like it delete via the progression bar 100%. - None of the emails were deleted. Can someone instruct me to delete empty a folder or delete more than 100 emails at one time? Thanks

  3. Remove the confirmation of deleted email message over menu items

    Each time I delete messages I get a confirmation that is positioned right over the sub menus of email. So annoying as you can not see what is behind it. Move it or just eliminate it. I know I deleted the emails, I do not need a confirmation.

  4. Stop putting deleted items into SPAM

    When I delete items, I expect to delete them, not to send them to spam. Often I receive messages for information, which I delete as soon as I have read them, and sometimes several such messages come from the same source. Deleting several messages from one source DOES NOT mean they are Spam. When I want to block senders, I will set them to block, or mark them as spam. I have marked several senders as Spam, which unfortunately keep coming to my inbox, while items I WANT in my Inbox go to spam. LET ME DECIDE.

  5. Post-delete pop up conformation on covers tabs

    Hello,

    When deleting email with the new interface, a small confirmation alert pops up notifying about the number of emails deleted and offering an undo button as well as a dismissal button. This is fine, but the placement is terrible. It pops up on top of the mail tabs. Exactly where it pops up depends on the browser window size. In the Inbox these tabs are "All", "Primary", "Offers", "Social", "Newsletters". So, as I'm managing my inbox, the pop-up blocks me from getting to the inbox tabs for about 5 seconds, which is frustrating, and completely unnecessary. Of course, I…

  8. Show the # of emails in my Inbox; make it much easier to delete older, unread emails between certain date ranges--does NOT WORK well!

    Have email attachments (eg, photos, videos, etc) display what they are in our emails (eg, actual photos) to avoid having to download them, which adds to more unwanted storage.

  9. [avoid] Clunky mouse-over animation for deletion of e-mails in list

    Quick feedback on the new mail:
    - if I want to delete emails from the list with the mouse I have to move the cursor away from the delete icon and back again on it - for each mail as it substitutes the deleted one in the list; it used to be quick just to hold the cursor in the same position and click to repeatedly delete emails.

  11. Allow users to set amount of emails to delete

    If I am correct, I remember before the updated platform Yahoo allowed users to select how many emails they would want to delete at a time. Currently, I'm reading the current default setting is at 100 emails per delete. I'm only delete 50 emails at a time and it's time consuming. We should have the ability to select a specific reoccurring email address we which to delete and actually do a bit more than 200 at a time. I do realize it will take a bit longer in terms of the system deleting, but seriously, I know you guys can…

  13. Empty a folder content

    I have added several filters for my offers and different newsletters to move emails out of my inbox.
    I have now a folder that has more then 6.5k emails. I need a solution to delete all of the emails of that folder, without having to select all 50 displayed emails and push delete for only those.
    This would also reduce the amount of communication between my UI and your backend.

  14. Keep delete and archive button stationary

    If you have a bunch of emails you want to delete, and you hover over Delete and keep clicking, expecting the same action to happen, but the button shifts over for some emails, you end up doing an action you don't want. Please add any extra buttons at the end, and do not shift everything over!

  16. Deactivate spam filter (which causes damage)

    Your spam filter causes serious damage. It regularly filters out very important emails, which are then lost. It's happened many times that emails with attachments, even important ones, or from addresses you've written to, have been automatically shunted to spam, without you being able to see them.
    Car insurance documents, requests for billing information, special offers for businesses I regularly run.
    Please add a "disable spam filter" button; no more lost important emails.
    Thank you!

  17. Select Multiple Emails Bug

    When I am selecting emails in the list, I get wildly unexpected and different results when holding down shift to check multiple emails at once. Repro: check an email at the top of the list, hold down shift, check an email at the bottom of a list. Expectation: all emails in between will be selected. Result: sometimes it works, sometimes completely random emails are selected. Completely unreliable and unpredictable results.
