Any tips on cleaning up my yahoo mail inbox?

I have 500+ emails and need to clean and delete. Is there an easier way to sort my messages before they get to my inbox?|||All At Once????


The only way is if you switched to "All New Mail".


It has a continuous mail page which allows you to delete en mass. Click on FROM (which checks them all) then click on DELETE...either on your email page or keyboard. You can switch back to Classic mail afterward.





You can switch to ALL NEW MAIL from MAIL CLASSIC by clicking on ALL NEW MAIL at the top of your email page or click on options. One of the options is to return to All New Mail.





Otherwise, with Classic, it's page by page.


BUT----you can speed it up by changing the "messages per page" to 200 instead of 25. That makes it 8 times faster, with 200 at a time.





On your email page click on options (top right) then MAIL OPTIONS.. GENERAL will be displayed if you now have the new format.. Now, go down to *Folders/Search Results* and change the number in the box to 200--by clicking on the down arrow to bring up the 200 option to set the number while you scroll to the bottom of the page to click "save". If you have the new format there is no SAVE to click on...|||I have not tried this personally, but I hear it works well. If you are using the Classic mail version, look for and click on 'All New Mail.' Then click on 'More actions,' then 'Select all,' then 'Delete.' This will delete all of them at once. Also delete your trash. Now return to your 'Classic mail' by clicking on it at top of the mail screen.


However, make sure you have moved any mails you want to keep before you do this!|||Set the messeges per page settign very high..then select all messeges per page and delete.
