  2. Using the 'block sender' and adding to the format when selecting multiple entries to block in SPAM folder

    I've noticed at times that when you open the SPAM folder and wish to select multiple entries to be discarded by the 'block sender' icon, this icon is NOT always available. This is hypercritical as you would need to individually 'block sender' for each SPAM missive if the top box is checked and you can't 'block sender' for all. Thanks!!

  4. Make it so I can delete emails

    I can no longer delete any emails. It gives me an error message that says Unable to Delete the message. I'm really wondering why I bother keeping this account. It just keeps getting worse and worse.

  5. "Block spam permanently" disappeared - bring it back

    One of the greatest things in Yahoo Mail was that I could click on “all spam” and in the “more” menu, click on Block Senders permanently. In the last couple of days, I can’t find that option. Please put it back so these will never appear again, as it was earlier. Thank you.

  7. Blocking senders

    Well, I see Yahoo has succumbed to the lure of MO' MONEY. I used to be able to block senders I didn't want to receive email from.

    Now I have to pay $5 for that privilege. Thanks a lot for nothing.

  8. Can't efficiently delete messages to comply with new storage limits

    When I try to delete messages in < 10k bucket sizes these will go to trash. Unfortunately trash fills up and starts preventing additional deletes. Then you have to try and permanently remove the emails from trash, but they are not removed. So you are stuck trying to remove messages and can't delete in bulk. Please fix this or postpone compliance dates until this functionality is working correctly.

  9. Need Email management features like bulk search and bulk delete.

    How can you ever expect any user to maintain their Mailbox and keep it under your new size limit, if you don't provide any means of deleting bulk email? Even if I search on a key word or an email address, if that results in 10,000 emails, but you only let users delete 25 at a time, NOBODY is going to redo 400 searches to delete all messages from ONE sender! If you want to keep users from going somewhere else, then provide some means to do bulk searches and bulk deleting of emails.

  10. Bulk Delete Capabilities

    There has got to be a better way to delete emails in bulk. I get so much spam that my inbox is overwhelmed. Deleting 50 emails at a time is tedious and ineffective. I need to be able to bulk delete my inbox like I can my trash folder. This is driving me CRAZY

  11. DELETE ALL UNREAD feature to help users clear space for new storage limits

    I need a way to delete all 500,000+ unread emails in order to clear my storage. As a Yahoo Mail user of 30+ years, my account currently uses 60gb, and with the new "exciting" policy, soon only 20gb will be permitted for free accounts. I don't have time to delete half a million unwanted email messages just 50 at a time using the per page delete option that currently exists. How can I "Delete All Unread"???

  12. Space

    Why is it that after I have deleted over 3/4 of all folders and files from my Yahoo mail account that you still say that I have the EXACT same usage at 16.55 Gigs? When will this ever be updated?

  13. Urgently cleaning out Mailbox size

    I am trying desperately after 20+ years on Yahoo to delete large emails. How can I tell what the size is of the attachments? I have deleted 1000's of emails and photos and hasn't made a dent. I need a way filter largest, or by type, and ALSO by oldest. This is really pressure and more tools to select many and delete would be very helpful.

  20. options to block spam

    I have had this email for decades. Lately I am getting more Spam than ever. I think there needs to be an option to block unlimited domains and have AI automatically block emails that have domains that don't really exist. Or just any weird emails that are not valid.
