Yahoo Mail – How to Clean Up Facebook Notification Emails

yahoo-mail

Currently, my Yahoo mail box is full of Facebook notification messages.

I tried to create a filter to move them to a separate folder but it is not applicable for current messages already in the inbox (see details here).

So my question is: how can I clean up those thousands of such emails?

Best Answer

  1. Set your options (Gear symbol/Mail options) to show 200 messages per page.
  2. In the search box enter a key phrase from the emails.
  3. On the left side of the screen you can see a list of items you can use to filter the results (sender, folder, year, status). Sender Facebook might be a good one for you to select.
  4. At the top of the list of emails just to the left of "sort by" there is a small box, check it. Now all the messages on that page are selected.
  5. The buttons for "Delete/Move/Spam/actions" are now activated.
  6. Move them to a folder. You can even create a new folder.
  7. Repeat the last 3 steps.
