There's a friggin' Trump MAGA ad in my email that won't delete!

Every other piece of mail in my inbox has a box you can check to delete, but not this f%#$ing Trump ad! Anyone know how to delete something in Yahoo mail that doesn't have a check box? I can hide it but it comes back the very next time I open my mail. I hate Trump!

are not emails. They're ads. You can't delete them. Just ignore them. That's all you can do.

I've got about 6 email accounts.
All but one are IMAP and that's going away soon.
And I use a mail client, carry an iPhone, and am never bothered by ads.

No check box probably means it's an ad not email. Close and reopen to see if you get a new ad.

It costs the trump campaign every time Yahoo or any other site shows you one of his ads. It costs the campaign even more whenever you “click through”. Plus, it makes it look to the campaign that the ad is working so they get a distorted view of the ads effectiveness. All positives from our point of view. So click through! It’s a little thing you can do to screw trump!
