    As in the Classic mode yahoo saves your PHOTOS and ATTACHMENTS automatically when you receive them or send them in an email. The below links will explain.

    PHOTOGRAPHS

    http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&id=SLN...

    ATTACHMENTS

    http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&id=SLN...

    The photo link explains how to delete the photos that are located in APPLICATIONS file at the bottom past your list of Folders. The attachment link does not.

    I deleted some of them in the Attachment folder by clicking on the subject matter of the attachment which brings up the email it is attached to. You then have a DELETE option as you normally do in your actual email. It might eventually leave this list, but it seems to stay there for a while...You cannot download it anymore after deletion so I am assuming it is actually gone even though you see it in this list. Also, once you delete the email....even though it stays...you must go to your TRASH folder and empty it...Then, when you try to download the attachment you get an ERROR msg and cannot download it....

    If easier for you switch to the Classic format. http://us.mc1634.mail.yahoo.com/mc/launch

    or

    http://mrd.mail.yahoo.com/switchclassic

    CLASSIC MAIL

    Click on MY PHOTOS ..

    ...once in go to MESSAGE VIEW....place a check mark in front of the message with the photos/attachments that you want deleted and go above and click on DELETE..

    You will notice on the far right side the present FOLDER that they are in.

    (..INBOX...SENT..FOLDER.etc)When you click on DELETE the location will change to TRASH...It will remain at this location until you clear your trash folder..This also applies to the methods described below.

    If you want to delete the entire page go to the top and click on SENDER and that will place a check mark in front of all the messages on that page....then click on DELETE to wipe out the entire page...(after you clear your TRASH folder)

    If you are not sure what message contains the photo(s) you want to delete go to the PHOTO VIEW...When you click on the description below the photo the email message will come up with the delete option....

    If you go to the ATTACHMENT VIEW you can click on the MESSAGE SUBJECT and your original email will come up with a delete option.

    Also, if you want to delete just the attachments and not the message MOST of the time when FORWARDING or REPLYING to the message there will be a REMOVE following the attachment. Click on that ....your attachment will be gone and your message still intact....

    Clicking on this link will provide you with additional info on this subject and MANY more...

    click on the "My photos" link. on the best of the view pane, click the "Message View" link. locate the messages that the photos are linked to (often ones in the despatched folder are the troublemakers!). DELETE the messages and the photos will circulate away as properly. it is the only thank you to do away with them, is to delete the message they are linked to. comparable is genuine of attachments.
