Yahoo mail still says unread mail? And spam in inbox?
I recently updated to the newest Yahoo mail (not really by choice), and now my mail says I have unread mail that doesn't exist. How do I get it to stop saying this and go to zero when all the mail has been opened?
And now spam gets into my inbox, when the update "offer" promised LESS spam. What's the deal. Yahoo?
This is not the problem. My TAB says there are still unread mails, even when there are not. It started doing this the other day, and at that time, some mails acted funny when I tried to open or delete them(?).
And I don't have a MARK ALL READ button.
Oh, I forgot to RIGHT click. Anyway, there is nothing to mark as read. There are no emails to go with the announcement that there are 6 unread. Everything in the inbox has been read, and there is no spam or trash. These 6 mystery emails have been read and deleted, but the tab still says 6 unread.

First the inbox total located just to the right of WHATS NEW is the total of all the messages still in your inbox whether they are read or not. That will only change when you delete a message. The other total indicated to the right of INBOX indicates the amount of emails that you have not read yet. When they are all read and it still indicates...usually (1)....RIGHT click on the curved arrow to the right of the number and then click on MARK ALL READ and it should disappear.

You're apparently one of "those" who never files their email in folders and has an enormous list of messages in the Inbox. So when you get postdated mail, it's impossible to locate. Unless you change the view setting (located above the "Delete" button in the Inbox. By default it is set to "View: All Messages." You will want to change it to "View: Unread Messages." When you've done this, the one unread message will suddenly appear with no other messages in the way.
