  1. Select feature

    I hate that when you scroll it auto selects another hundred emails. Who is this helping?

  2. 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.

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. "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…

  7. 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…

  8. 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!

  9. 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.

  10. '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

  11. 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

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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…

  18. 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.

  19. [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.
