    Currently it has the option to delete all your deleted messages in one go which that does not work it will not delete 60 odd thousand emails but then comes to the point of why exactly does it even have that many in the deleted folder when the deleted folder says it deletes emails after 7 days yet look here is emails dating back yrs still sitting here meanwhile at the top it says above all this these emails will delete automatically after 7 days yet they dont. Then you guys have the audacity to tell a person they are…

  2. Undo for message delete like ^Z

    sometimes I delete a message by accident. I can restore it from Trash, but it would be nice for an UNDO like ^Z to work to restore the last deleted message.

  3. Forget it

    Also forget me and my personal information and this dummy account you made me. To this moment all I found was some kind of wrapper of gmail and some shady intercorp sharing of my offals. I came here for the specific need to get t an email account but I found this. And I came here because I know you from the old days and I expected to find something similar to what it used to be, but sadly I'm not surprised about what I found. Please give me a decent email account MANAGED BY YOUR SERVER ORFORGET ABOUT ME.

  4. Please auto block pornographic emails

    You know that a preson of an age should not be getting pornographic emails and emails from spammers. I know you cannot tell who is spamming a person, but the naught words used in the over 50 emails a day that I get should be easily blocked for the swear words and naughty words they use. I should not be harassed by so many emails. You know AI can do this. Offer it up and protect the elderly.

  5. allow to retain the duration of emails in spam folder more than 30 days

    allow to retain the duration of emails in spam folder more than 30 days. There are many business critical emails somethimes go to spam. Due to busy schedule, i do not get time to check spam folder. So auto delete after 30 days is not sometimes good.

  6. filtering doesn't work

    I have created 129 filters out of 500 after receiving so many spams daily for almost 4 or 5 months now. Even yesterday i created two filters if they contain that word in the sender email address, it should be filtered to trash directly. Today, I saw 8 spams from these two filters created in my spam folder and filter created did not work to push them into trash. Please improve the filtering system if it has been created as per your format. Thanks.

  8. Allow users more freedom to categorize and act on emails

    Allow users more flexibility to sort and handle emails. I would like to create a filter that checks emails IN THE SPAM folder for permanent deleting automatically, or allow me to permit Yahoo to delete emails selected for spam rather than store them.

  10. Quicker Delete Option

    When a user selects the checkbox on an email in the inbox and deletes it, the next email gets highlighted automatically, but the Delete option disappears.

    It would be much more convenient if the Delete button remained visible at all times, allowing users to quickly continue deleting emails without having to select the checkbox again each time.

  11. Let me delete all emails within a specified date range.

    It's truly upsetting that I can't select a date range of emails to delete in one .command. I have over 68,000 emails and most are over three years old. I have backed them up, so that doesn't concern me. You force me to scroll down over and over and over and over again to select just 1,000 emails to delete. That's pathetic. I should be able to enter "before 20220101", see all the emails, and then delete them all with one delete command. FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY! I've seen several comments about this all over the Internet about this. People are…

  12. Broken Un-Sub Link Sent in Recent Email

    Hey, so I have been recieving too much mail from Yahoo. I scrolled down to the end of the most recent email and clicked "unsubscribe". To my dismay, the link is broken and redirects to the main homepage. After scrolling your help articles for awhile I just decided to block Yahoo as a sender instead. You may want to fix that bad link going foward.

  13. Don't allow email to be deleted while it's selected for the purpose of searching a folder

    When I try to search a folder to move an email to, and I hit the delete button because of typo, it often deletes the selected email. Could we fix this so that we can't delete emails so easily while searching for a folder to move it to? Thank you

  14. "Bulk Unsubscribe" feature - - - (I want my credit lol)

    There should be away to:
    1. See repeat "senders"
    2. Option to "Select All" or "check individually" as you read through. - - Not same as manual unsub but more close to mass email delete (you can select 200 or click each box for senders you no longer want communication with)
    3. Then unsubscribe from all unwanted email chains - at once.

    This feature is a game changer for long time yahoo customers like myself who would like to clean up our email boxes of unwanted solicitations from senders via third party services selling our information - that we unknowingly…

  15. second message regarding a draft deleted by Yahoo mail+

    I sent a message yesterday regarding how I am missing parts or all of many drafts I was in the middle of creating. I need one in particular by 1130 am for my session with my doctor, entitled 4/24-4/25, beginning with the opening statement in bold print: "the grounding exercise when sleep is disrupted:" I did NOT delete this. This is a major flaw in the worst and worst Yahoo Mail+. BTW, when writing, it still jumps off the page I am composing back into the inbox, so I have to click 4-5 boxes just to expand the page so…

  16. Deleting emails doesn't delete them

    Hi,
    You were right, I had more than 40000 emails I can erase without thinking twice. Unfortunately, I needed to think about it more than 10 times I tried deleting them and they are still there. It would be good to know when that is solved so I can clear the space.
    Thanks!

  17. Dont delete my emails when I press send

    Dont delete my emails that I try to send. Love spending an hour writing out work emails just to finally finish and press send.... only for them to disappear into the void. Its an email service, can you try getting the email part right? Generally you press send.. and your email sends. Instead you seem to think digitally shredding my work is acceptable. I think its time I stop using your services, since you cant get the most basic fundamental part of your product to function.

  18. 'Message deleted.'

    Hi there. When I delete an email from my inbox, the system pop-up message 'Message deleted. Undo' come up and blocks for a few seconds the first email in the row. I understand it's not long but it annoys when you need to work fast. I use HP laptop 15'4.
    Can you please make the pop-up message smaller or move a little bit away so it doesn't temper smooth workflow. Thanks. Ramil

  19. 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
