EPTI haven't checked it in over a year.
I've got 80,000 unread messages. Most of which is probably spam in my inbox.
I don't want to click "check all", and delete 50 msgs @ a time.
Is there anyway I can delete all 80k in 1 blow?

You dont necessary need to do anything just ignore it. Yahoo is my main address, and I never thought of space running out. | ||

Yahoo is my main address, and I never thought of space running out. True. But if the spam is in your INBOX then it wouldn't "die as it get old", would it? I also hate yahoo mail and absolutely love gmail. The new yahoo mail with the ajax thingy is too slow and unresponsive. Yahoo should just look at Gmail and remember K.I.S.S | ||

I like Yahoo's simplistic GUI, and since it was the first e-mail service I ever used. I got really used to it. I use both G-Mail, and Yahoo. | ||

it supports plus addressing say you wanna register to some site that you think might sell your email to spammers, but u need an email well, if your email is like jeejee@gmail.com and you wanna register at gosugamers, you can use jeejee+gosugamers@gmail.com (or jeejee+gg@gmail.com .. or whatever you want) which is a valid email address and will go to your original gmail then if that email gets sold for spam simply put a filter that shoves all the emails sent to jeejee+gosugamers@gmail.com into a spam folder (or a GG folder) gmail ftw | ||

I'm just not sure how long yahoo will continue to offer free email. A lot of people, like me, use gmail now, and just use yahoo to store a massive amount of old email. Eventually something will happen. | ||

autoread for me edit: if you don't want to deal with erasing 80k mails by deleting 50 at a time, i can do it for you. It's Sunday and i have a dayoff so I'm willing to do something meaningful | ||

Why do you think yahoo specifically will stop offering free e-mail? | ||

more random gmail tidbits (there's lots of them, if these 2 seemed interesting, feel free to google the rest yourself  )did you know it's better not to register a gmail address with a dot? This is because gmail automatically registers all possible dot combinations for you, but if you registered with a dot, you have to sign in with it example: say you register jee.jee@gmail.com then j.e.e.jee@gmail.com is also your email, and so is, jeejee@gmail.com and je.eje.e@gmail.com etc etc but you have to sign in while typing that blasted dot every time  this could be useful if for instance you have firstnamelastname@gmail.com which looks like a mess you can tell people your email is FirstName.LastName@gmail.com and it'll work just as well | ||
