Answer:
I believe you're referring to the new Yahoo sponsored text ads. The following article shows what the new sponsored text ads look like so you can verify what you're seeing.

Sign up for Yahoo Ad Free Mail - https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail/sign-yahoo-free-mail-sln15967.html Overview of Yahoo Ad Free Mail - https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail/yahoo-free-mail-sln15803.html If that's not an option, here are two more things to try, depending on what browser you're using. You could install an ad blocker, such as AdBlock Plus and see if it is effective at removing these ads. Be aware these add-ons can hinder the operation of some web functions, so you may need to disable them in order for some websites to work properly. Others have said that the Firefox add-on called "Yahoo Mail Hide Ad Panel" available at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yahoomailhideadpanel/ can remove all the ads, including the new sponsored text ads but I haven't tried it.

Assuming you are referring to the new sponsored ads.It's just another Yahoo scheme to increase advertising revenue there is no way to stop or delete so called sponsored emails which is of course just a fancy word for Spam. I have adblock and it most certainly doesn't stop them fortunately they eventually self-destruct. All I have done besides not opening them is stop using my Yahoo email account except for Yahoo Answers and as a storage facility for my files, instead I'm using windows live mail and hush mail both are free and neither of which subscribes to the sponsored mail nonsense of Yahoo and Gmail. Gmail is even worse.
