  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.

  4. 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.

  6. 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.

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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…

  12. Location of Message Deleted popup

    After deleting a message in the inbox, the Message Deleted popup covers part of the inbox and interferes with processing the next message. Please move the popup to the bottom of the screen or somewhere else outside of the inbox.

  14. Deleting emails I didn't select

    I select a series of emails to be deleted and it deletes emails that haven't been selected. Usually these emails are above the 1st email selected and have been highlighted in blue. I DON'T WANT THESE EMAILS DELETED SO THEN I HAVE TO GO BACK AND SEARCH MY TRASH. I'm going crazy with this and am ready to dump Yahoo mail. It didn't do this before the upgrade.

  15. Delete Email Notification Placement

    When I delete an email, a notification bubble pops up telling me that the message is deleted and provides me an Undo option.

    The placement of this bubble is right over the bar that has the options to Archive, Move, Delete, Mark as Read, Mark as Spam. If I am casually picking through my emails, I will often be Deleting a message and moving to the next to Delete, but the notification bubble will still be active and I will have to wait for it to disappear before I can click the Delete trash can.

  19. BLOCK ADDRESSES GOING TO TRASH FOLDER

    When you receive or send a message to the spam folder, you have the option of blocking the e-mail address. For some reason, after blocking the e-mail address, the spam messages go to your trash folder. We do not want spam messages in our Trash folder. After blocking the address why not have technology make the message disappear from your e-mail folder. You have no use nor want evidence of a block address e-mail message. You are not going to read the block address e-mail message in your Trash folder and you end up deleting the message anyway.
