Yahoo mail automatically delete old messages

The nostalgia of old emails!

Yes, Yahoo Mail does have a feature to automatically delete old messages to help manage your inbox and free up storage space. Here's how to check if this feature is enabled and how to disable it if you prefer to keep your old emails:

Check if Yahoo Mail is automatically deleting old messages:

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. Look for the "Delete old messages" option. If it's enabled, it will be set to a specific time period (e.g., "Delete messages older than 3 months").

Disable automatic deletion of old messages:

1. Follow the same steps as above to access the "Settings" page.
2. Scroll down to the "Account" section.
3. Click on the "Delete old messages" option.
4. Select "Never" from the dropdown menu to disable automatic deletion of old messages.

Note: Even if you disable automatic deletion, you can still manually delete old messages or use Yahoo Mail's built-in filters to automatically move or delete messages based on specific criteria.

Tips:

• If you're concerned about deleting important emails, consider setting up a backup system or using a third-party email client that allows you to archive or export your emails.
• Yahoo Mail has a storage limit of 1 TB (1,000 GB) per account. If you're approaching this limit, you may want to consider deleting old messages or upgrading to a paid account with more storage space.
