What does clean your inbox mean in yahoo mail

In Yahoo Mail, "Clean Your Inbox" is a feature that helps you declutter and organize your email inbox by automatically moving or deleting unwanted or unnecessary emails. Here's what it does:

  1. Moves unwanted emails to the "Spam" folder: Yahoo's algorithms analyze your emails and move suspected spam messages to the "Spam" folder, where you can easily delete them.
  2. Deletes duplicate emails: If you receive multiple copies of the same email, Yahoo's system will delete the duplicates, leaving only one copy in your inbox.
  3. Removes empty folders: If you have empty folders in your Yahoo Mail account, "Clean Your Inbox" will delete them to free up space and simplify your folder structure.
  4. Removes old emails: You can set a specific time period (e.g., 30 days, 60 days, etc.) for which you want to keep emails in your inbox. Emails older than that period will be automatically deleted.
  5. Removes large attachments: If you have large attachments in your emails, Yahoo's system will remove them to free up space in your account.

To enable "Clean Your Inbox" in Yahoo Mail:

  1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner of the page.
  3. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Scroll down to the "Account" section.
  5. Click on "Clean Your Inbox" and toggle the switch to the "On" position.
  6. Customize the settings as desired (e.g., set the time period for keeping emails, etc.).

Remember that "Clean Your Inbox" is an automated process, and you should regularly review your emails to ensure that important messages aren't being deleted or moved to the "Spam" folder accidentally.
