If you want to clean up your inbox but don’t necessarily need to permanently delete them, archive your messages instead. Yahoo provides a one-click tool for doing this, which is generally more efficient than deleting, since you don’t need to scroll, select, and delete more than once.
1. Open Yahoo Mail in a web browser.
2. Hover the mouse over “Inbox” in the navigation pane on the left and click the drop-down arrow.
3. Choose “Clean your Inbox.”
Choose “Clean your Inbox” to move all messages to the Archive folder.
4. In the pop-up window, click “Archive emails.” Depending upon how many messages you have, this might take a while, but when it’s done, your inbox will be empty and all the email will be moved to the Archive folder.
