I've had yahoo mail for a very long time, but I have a question for someone who uses it an all of their options.

Can you set it up to sort emails into various boxes? My boss emails me all day long with various assignments and sometimes I tend to miss them because I get a ton of emails. I know outlook has a feature that you can send emails to certain places.

Also, if you know if yahoo has this option, you'd be my hero if you also knew how it effected getting your mail on an iphone.

It's asking a lot. Any help would be fab :)

    you mean create new folders?

    when you are in your inbox, there should be a move button right above your first e-mail. give it a click, and it will say new folder. name it whatever you what, and when it is created, go back to your inbox and check the box next to the e-mail you want to move and then click the move button again and select the folder you want it to go to.

    hope this is what you were talking about!

    when check your mail, on the far right click on options, a menu will then be on the right side which includes filters....follow the instructions from there...

    hope that helps :)

    Will the emails then be delivered there, to the new folder? Or would I have to sort through them all?

    i don't think so. once you created the new folders, then i am pretty sure you have to go to the filter feature that cutback mentioned (i just learned about that from him too).

    I tried that, but it gave me an option to add my phone. I already get my mail pushed to my phone, so I didn't want to add it in there and mess up how its working now, but I get emails from here all day long.

    (The solution might be to stop getting emails from the board everytime there is a reply to a thread. haha)

    and lastly, will I still get all my emails on my phone? Its very important that I can be reaching all the time, so I need to make sure that the filter will still push them all to my phone, regardless of the folder its in.

    hmm.... that i don't know. i don't want to tell you the wrong answer.

    i don't see why they would not reach your phone. after all it is a new incoming e-mail, it's just hitting a separate inbox so to speak.

    :confused:

    from yahoo:
    To create, edit, or delete a filter, click Options in the upper right corner of your page, then under “Management”, click Filters.

    as for the mail on your phone, i have no idea....sorry :o

    Okay, I got the filters added, or atleast the ones I want to test. I added my husbands email, and asked for the mails to be to his folder, and it still went to the inbox..

    I'm so frustrated and its about 1432513 degrees in my apartment..

    AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

    I'm keeping at it. I will figure it out! I will!
