If you have received lots of emails in your yahoomail inbox and also lots of spam mails in your yahoo spam folder and want to remove all emails from both place or you want to clean your yahoomail account completely then you can do it in few steps.
- First of all, login to your yahoomail account and check whether you are using old yahoomail account. If yes then you have to switch to new yahoomail account as shown in the following screenshot. If you are already using new yahoomail account then switch to next step.
- Now, Go to your inbox if you want to delete all inbox mail or go to spam folder if you want to delete all spam mails. Select the Checkbox just below the delete button as shown in the following image. If you want to keep few emails then you can uncheck those emails before deleting it.
- Once you have clicked on OK button to delete all your emails then it will start deleting your emails as shown in the following screenshot.
Finally your inbox or spam folder will become empty means you have deleted all your emails successfully.

My yahoo mail gets spammed a lot about 200 mails everyday..this feature helps me a lot Daily..
Very good tutorial.I like the way this has been crafted. Keep up the great work. promoted the post.. Thanks
Thank you Praveen for sharing this post :) Keep Visiting my Blog.
hi praveen,
That was a nicely crafted tutorial for deleting the spams and the all the mails at a time, if you know how to delete the same in Gmail please let me know, will be waiting for your response.
the information you shared was very helpful.
Not working for me in the latest iteration of Yahoo Mail. Checking that box immediately under “Delete” only selects all the emails on the current page (which I have set to the max — 200). So it’s only deleting 200 at a time. Nott helpful when I have almost 6,000 to delete.
What you recommend used to work for me.
Not working in “neo” mail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Found my answer.
In the current version of Yahoo Mail (December 2011), you may need to add a third step. Under the “actions”or “options” icon, select a choice to “Show Mails” in a “scrolling list.” (Not sure which icon it was that I found that under. And the icons no longer appear now that I have cleaned out my inbox.)
Then you can choose “Select All” and hit “Delete” and — as I just did — wipe out some 8,000 emails at once.
Glad you found the answer. I think Yahoo have updated this setting. Since I don’t have that much emails so I can’t check this setting. I will update the post & will refer your comment in the above post asap. Thanks again for adding the update.
Thanks Ken! I was having issues too!
Brilliant brother ! I wiped out some 14000 mails at once..thanks !!
