Folders

Yahoo! Mail allows you to create as many personal folders as you like.

To Create a Folder

  1. Click the "Add" hyperlink, located towards the top of the page, next to "Folders" on the left-hand folder navigation bar.
 



  1. You will then be prompted to enter a folder name.
  2. Click the "OK" button.

When your new folder is created, you'll see it added to the list of current folders on the left side.


To Move a Message to a Folder

To transfer a message to one of your folders:

  1. Open the folder, which contains the message to be transferred. (This could be your Inbox or another folder.)
  2. Place a check in the box to the left of the message you would like to transfer. To transfer more than one message, just check the box to the left of each message.
  3. Select the destination folder from the pull-down list labeled "Move to Folder", located on the top right-hand side of the screen.
 



  1. Click the "OK" button. The message(s) will be transferred at once.

Note: It is not possible to transfer messages into the Sent or Draft folders, because messages in these folders are stored differently than in other folders. To transfer a message to your Trash folder, just check the box to the left of the message and click the "Delete" button.
