14 years ago

I noticed that on the left hand colum of Yahoo Mail there is a catagory, 'attachments'. When I opened thid there are attachments from 3 years ago!! TONS of them!! I would like to delete them- there is a box to 'check all', but no other box to 'delete'. How do I do this?

Thanks

1.From the Photo View: Click on the Subject link located directly below the photo thumbnail. This will display the message that contains the file attachment. On this page, you can click the Delete button to delete the message and the attachments.

2.From the Attachment View: Click on the Message Subject for the thumbnail. This will display the message that contains the file attachment. On this page, you can click the Delete button to delete the message and the attachments
"edited" And yes the only way you can delete attachments is to delete the complete message

zep- I should have been more specific! Can I delete them all at once? There are more than 800 of them!! Or am I in for a long session of 'click, click, click'?

I should have also said: Be sure you know which folder your browser is set to for downloaded files. Change it to another if you would find that easier to work with (I create a "c:\downloads" folder on all my PCs. I point all browsers to that folder, so that I don't need to crawl down too many levels to find files) The file that will be in whatever folder you download to, that you'll attach to an email, is named: yahoo_ab.csv You should maybe first double check that it came out ok by navigating to it using Windows Explorer and then opening it with whatever spreadsheet program you use.

Without more info, there's no telling if OP's "toolbar" reference is browser related or something in the Y mail page content. There are parts of the "new" mail page that look like toolbars. If Avast is acting up, try a different product - there are many alternatives (including in the free space) that are more highly rated than Avast. I use Y mail and have found it to be performing erratically over the past few weeks. Erratic in many ways including delayed mail delivery, inability to connect or getting disconnected in mid-session, etc., Rule #1 about using any kind of technology is if something doesn't seem to work, try something else. Don't do the same thing again unless you want to experience the same result again. Cheerful, if you find your husband isn't getting your emails, why not send an SMS message instead?

check on your firefox with adblock plus that you do have the easylist subscription enabled on it. up top click on tools, adblock plus, filter preferences, make sure you do have easylist there in the filter list checked and also at the very bottom it says allow some non intrusive ads be sure to uncheck that you don't want any ads. edit to add if you do have an ad pop up run your cursor all around the ad and a little tab will pop up saying block click on that and it will put that ad in the blocked list you can do that with any ads, adblock plus will then add them to your list.
