See the tiny gray triangle adjacent to “FOLDERS” that’s pointing towards the right? Click on it and you’ll open up the list of your mail folders:Ĭlick on one of the folder names and you’ll be viewing the message or messages you’ve filed in that folder.
Here’s what the left side navigational column looks like: Let’s shift attention back to the left side of the Yahoo Mail screen before we’re done, however, because it’s pretty darn important to know how to get to these folders once created. Next time you’re reading a message, the folder you just created will be listed on the “Move” menu, so it’ll be even easier. Look at the next screen snippet:Īs highlighted, the “Move” menu shows you all the folders you’ve already created - mine are “Archive”, “Clients”, “Family” and “Play” - two system folders - “Spam” and “Trash” - and the key entry, “New Folder”.Ĭhoose New Folder to create a folder for this specific message and then automatically move the message into the newly created folder…Įnter a folder name that’ll help you remember what’s inside, click “OK” and you’re done. To move a message (or if you’ve checked the boxes adjacent to a bunch of messages in the previous mailbox view, a bunch of messages) to a specific folder, click on “Move”.īut what if I don’t have any folders set up yet? For now, just open up a specific message and look at the options along the top: Look closely on the left column and you’ll see “FOLDERS” listed. Open up Yahoo Mail and on the top left, you’ll see something very similar to this:Ĭreate a Folder in Outlook to Manage email properly Yahoo Mail does indeed have a folder capability and it’s pretty nicely integrated into the system with the latest facelift that Yahoo’s given the service. Very helpful and it’s how I only have 5-10 messages in my inbox at any given time. I have two different email systems I use and each has over 50 folders for projects by client, different sites I’m involved with, specific mailing list archives, and even folders to let me organize discussion by family member.
You’re right to want to move towards having folders help you organize your email too, whether you’re using Yahoo Mail, Gmail or any other email service. Seems like that should be part of the logo, doesn’t it? 🙂 And Yahoo actually started as a collection of Jerry Yang’s Sumo Wrestling web site bookmarks. In fact, I remember the very early days with Yahoo when it was actually a site that offered a collection of bookmarks.
I’ve had a Yahoo account for an incredibly long time.
