It seems the only way is doing it through coding.I confess this is not a perfect solution and am still looking for better answers. I selected C# and have to use IMAP. IMAP is a protocol for working with emails through coding. The other one is POP3 but it does not have an attribute to see if a message has been seen (read) or not (unread).
1-I had to install Visual Studio and create a C# application.
2- Download MailKit by going to Tools->NuGet packet manager->Manage NuGet packages for Solution->Select MailKit and install as shown below.
3- Create an app password in Yahoo for this tool (I called it IMAP just for the sake of naming) as it asks for a name.
4- Then writing the below code in c#
and the output:
It took me about 17 hrs to delete my unread messages
