The problem with web mail is that you can normally only delete a page-full of emails at a time, by clicking the top box, selecting all at once on that page. Then you select the next 50 or so that show up. If you could get the account on Mozilla Thunderbird or another email client, you could delete all at once, and if the settings were to "remove from the server when deleted", they would be removed from webmail too. I don't have a Yahoo account, but know that Hotmail won't allow POP3 unless you have a paid Hotmail account' Yahoo may have the same restriction.

How to delete all email messages at once?

Click on your inbox, check the box under delete but above all your messages. This will select them all and then click delete. If the messages are not in your inbox, then just click wherever they are. All screens have this checkbox.

I want to delete inbox from my pc

Hello,

Generally when someone uses the term 'inbox' they are talking about the folder where their email program stores emails. This folder can contain emails that have been read and emails that have not been read. After you 'delete' and email from your 'inbox' it is usually stored in a folder called 'Trash'.

Anyway, if you actually want to delete 'inbox' as apposed to say deleting all the emails in 'inbox' it can get a little tricky.

Here is how it is done for Firefox:

Go to the 'Tools' menu and select 'Account Settings'. Find 'Server Settings' under the account for which you wish to remove the 'inbox'.. Once on the 'Server Settings' page look for 'Local Directory' on the bottom left of the dialog. Click on the 'Browse' button. When the 'Browse for Folder' dialog comes up you will see your current 'inbox's name and location as it will be highlighted in the list.

I'd recommend chosing a new folder as your 'inbox' at that time, Then use Windows Explorer to browse to that location and delete the folder.

I delete my emails by mistake, how can I retreive it back please. It is very urgent and important.

Hi . If you deleted your email messages and the trash folder hasn't been cleared out yet, you'll be able to find it there. In the TRASH FOLDER. You can find it in the list of folders on the left pane of Yahoo! Mail.

Hope this helps. Have a great day. :)

Email messages occasionaly disappear after being cancelled , cannot be found anywhere?

If you canceled or deleted you can retrieve them in most web email clients.

GMail:
If you've deleted a message permanently, by clicking Delete Forever in your Spam or Trash, it isn't possible to recover the message.
If you've moved a message to Trash, by clicking Delete, but it's been fewer than 30 days and you haven't permanently deleted it, follow these steps to put it back in your inbox:
  1. Sign in to Gmail.
  2. Click Trash along the left side of any Gmail page. (If you don't see Trash along the left side of your Gmail page, go to the Labels tab in Settings, then click the show link next to the Trash label.)
  3. Locate the message you'd like to move to your inbox, and check the box next to the sender's name.
  4. Click Move to Inbox.
Yahoo:
Of course, you can also undelete a message quickly as long as it is still in your Yahoo! Mail's Trash folder.
Undelete Mail in Yahoo! Mail To undelete a message in Yahoo! Mail or Yahoo! Mail Classic:
  • Go to the Trash folder.
  • Open the desired message.
  • Click Move in the Yahoo! Mail toolbar.
  • Select Inbox or any other folder to recover the message.
    • In Yahoo! Mail, you can also drag and drop the email to any folder, of course.
Also you can serach on Yahoo itself by look at the left upper corner you can see a search bar if you
remember some info. from the sender.

Losing important emails or accidentally deleting emailsthat you still need can be frustrating. Good news is that Yahoo! Mail providesways to retrieve deleted messages.

In case your "Trash" folder isemptied, you can still recover deleted messages using Yahoo's"Restore" feature ? Log in to your Yahoo! Mail account.Navigate to the "Trash" folder located at the left portion of thescreen, and then check if the deleted message is there. ? Open the message and select the"Move" option in the Yahoo! mail toolbar. Select "Inbox" orany other existing folder into which you want to transfer the message. It willthen be immediately transferred to your chosen folder. ? Use the "Search" option atthe upper portion of the window if you do not want to browse through severaldeleted emails. Type the email address of the sender or other keywords relatedto the email message and click on "Search." ? Use the "Yahoo! MailRestore" feature to recover mails that have been deleted in the past 24hours. This is if your trash folder is empty and your deleted emails are nolonger available.

Millions of emails in my inbox

There is no way to delete all messages at once with yahoo mail, but if you go to Options>General Preferences, you can maxamize the number of messages you can see on one page. That should save you some time.
