  1. Email Deletion

    Please return the ability to select the emails that I want to delete such as starred or unstarred. At this point, I am using the basic email format, but I can only select "All" emails for deletion. I also can not see how to move emails into folders. In the new format I can not even find how to delete emails. This is very unfavorable change.

  2. Delete All does Not Delete All!

    Why are only a subset of the mail items selected from a particular sender when I click the "All" box? I want to select all from a sender and delete all of them! I have to keep scrolling and deleting and scrolling and deleting. Please make it easier to really select all of the mail items from a sender and actually delete all of them! The current feature does not work!

  5. Deleting email mistakes

    When I am deleting emails from my inbox. if i move my mouse slightly, the items I am trying to delete get moved into one of my random save folders/ My personal save FOLDERS ARE FULL OF ITEMS that I intended to delete. You should change it so this does not happen so easily.

  13. Crashing yahoo mail is way too easy trying to edit /delete email text thats a draft

    i am running windows 10, google chrome. trying to edit some emails. IT KEEPS CRASHING OVER AND OVER AND OVER. whether i use the delete key or backspace key doesnt matter. yahoo mail is extremely unstable. Steps to reproduce go to any email you have saved as a draft. highlight some text and hit delete. or highlight some text and hit backspace. You immediatelly get the "aw snap' message and it crashes and you lose all your edits. its ridiculously unstable for a a major website.

  15. Fix You Deletion Process

    I was cleaning my email and selected Offers to delete a slew of old marketing emails. By selecting "all" in this category, Yahoo deleted THREE YEARS of ALL my emails!!!!!! Even the last ones my mom sent before she passed away ... those were NOT OFFERS!!! IF you offer an option for OFFERS then make sure it ONLY INCLUDES OFFERS. If you can't ensure that then don't offer it at all. THREE YEARS OF EMAILS!! Not good, Yahoo.

  17. done folder

    On the app, all messages that are swiped are placed in the "done" folder rather than deleted. Now that I am on the computer, I am unable to find where my "done" messages are located. Not the most streamlined system. Also, the done folder seems futile and should be done away with entirely.

  19. Deleting inbox does not work

    Selected all my emails in my inbox, selected delete (trash can) and nothing happens. Yes the Deleting all messages progress bar churns away. Yes, the screen has a spinner denoting activity. But ultimately I see all the messages in my inbox. Even emptying the trash can does not change the number of messages in my inbox.

    For my use case, this feature is broken. I don't know if this has to do with my account being over 20 years old, but I do not want to pay for storage so I am fine with the deletion of all the messages.

  20. Feedback regarding missing email incident

    Hello,

    Thank you for your assistance with my recent incident. I really appreciate that Yahoo provides an email recovery service.

    However, I would like to share some important feedback about the issue I encountered: when I deleted a draft reply, the original email was also deleted at the same time. What made the situation worse was that the original email did not even appear in the Trash folder, which caused me a lot of stress.

    After some testing, I realized that this problem only occurs with emails sent from Standard Chartered Bank. When I tried with other emails, deleting a…
