  1. mail

    How you gonna say my email storage is full but I cant delete any emails? I click the box to delete emails and another box appears asking if I want to delete ALL the emails. I click on that link it marks ALL the emails, I click delete, empty trash, and there are only 500 emails deleted. Is there an easier way to delete all these emails? im making no progress deleting them myself.

  2. In list of Sent emails, forwarded email shows name of original sendee rather than the person I forwarded to.

    I sent an email to person #1 then forwarded it to person #2. When I look at the Sent list, it shows the email I forwarded, but to person #1 rather than person #2. The original email I sent to person #1 is not on the list. This activity should show both items in Sent, with one to person #1 and one to person #2.

  3. Move Confirmation Popup

    When I do an action to the top message in my list without opening the message, like a Delete or Move, the confirmation popup appears almost entirely on top of the next message in my list, making it hard to apply an action to that new top item. Can you move that confirmation pop-up away to an emptier spot?

  5. mass delete > 100

    Unable to mass delete emails from a folder, inbox search or a sender. Search is limited to 25. Folder is limited to 100. Even when it prompts you to delete all xx,000 emails from a folder it only deletes the first 100.

  6. I deleted emails and emptied my trash but mailbox storage has not changed.

    I deleted emails and emptied my trash yesterday, but my mailbox storage has not changed. I refreshed my browser. How do I find out how much storage I'm actually using? Thanks!

  7. empty trash not working

    Make emptying the trash work better. I keep trying to empty my trash and it never works. I'll never decrease my email in 30 days.

    Also, make it easier to select all messages older than 3 years, that aren't in special folders, so I can delete them all. I have 20 years worth of mail.

    Yahoo sucks.

  9. Allow users to pay the same fee but keep the old format

    Instead of switching to the flashy new format, how about an option to keep the old format and pay the same amount? I understand Yahoo's need to increase income to offset costs, but I've been using this format for well over 10 years! I like it, and I would like to keep it. If I have to pay for the new flashy format, I'll have to find some other Email provider. I don't like the new format. Seriously.

  10. 1TB free storage

    GO Back to the 1TB free storage! This is a scam. I've been using my yahoo mail for 20 years and only have 40GB for storage. Now to keep it I have to pay monthly. At lease grandfather in those with older accounts. Otherwise, it may be time to eliminate my use of yahoo. The new storage is ********

  14. Free storage to be remained as 1TB

    I just saw a notification yesterday stating that I have exceeded my mailbox storage. Truthfully, I am very proud to tell my friends that I started using my Yahoo Mail since 2002, exactly more than 23 years ago. I don't have to create another new email as my email is never full. Upon searching the web, Yahoo offered a whooping 1TB mail storage. Happy me continued spreading the words to my friends about the exciting discovery. I was hearbroken, devastated & even cried yesterday. Why are you reducing the mail storage to 20GB? You have deleted some of the other…

  17. Bulk Deleting Emails

    I placed 45,000 emails into the Trash folder and then tried to clear/delete that bin. The software just keeps "thinking" with the circular arrows graphic. I can delete in bunches of 1000, but am afraid to go further. None of this would be necessary if there wasn't an email cap placed on my account. Don't get me wrong, I understand the cap, but there should be WORKABLE solutions to clear numerous emails. Sadly, this might force me elsewhere. I have been a Yahoo email user for 20 years! That's a lot of email to clear!

  18. Mail selection is completely broken

    With the new infinite scroll and separated views, the ability to select mail is broken. When a new scroll occurs sometimes checks are added or when bulk selected, emails that were not selected will still end up being selected and end up being moved to trash. This happens to me every day

  19. Bulk Delete does not work, How do i show email size

    Hi,

    The Bulk Delete feature does not work -- it never deletes all the emails even after confirming.
    Secondly how can I show the email "size" in the summary pane along with subject, date and sender?

    Yahoo seems to have suddenly enabled mailbox size restrictions from previously saying unlimited and it doesn't look like you are enabling customers to clean their mailbox. Which is not correct.

  20. Bulk Delete Unopened Email

    Help me Bulk Delete Unopened Email.

    I can filter to is:unread and select all. Yahoo has a pop-up saying select 80,000. Yet, it won't allow bulk delete of that many items. Trying moving to trash and that did not worl.
