Don't let a crowded inbox prevent you from seeing important messages. Yahoo Mail gives you the ability to create your own filters to sort incoming messages into different folders. Filters are based on words that appear or don't appear anywhere in a message. For example, to have all work-related messages go into a "Work" folder, create a filter using your company's domain name, like "@sample.com." Every message from that domain can go directly into your Work folder. Once you begin adding filters, make sure you prioritize them. Filters are used on a one-time basis, so if an email is caught by the first filter in your list, it won't go through any subsequent filters.
Step 1
Log in to your Yahoo Mail account. Custom filters rely on the folders in the left menu. While you can always add a new folder when you create a filter, you can review your existing folders here. Click "Folders" to expand the list of folders if it isn't visible. To add, delete or rename a folder, right-click it.
Step 2
Select a message and click the "More" link in the top menu. Click the "Filter Emails Like This" option to open the Add Filter window.
Step 3
Change the filter name to something that will make it easily identifiable. By default, the Sender's name is the title. Select each of the menus to specify what the filter should catch. The filter scans the From, To, Subject and Body fields in messages according to your specifications. You can for, example, filter messages beginning with a specific word in the subject field or ending with that word. You can also filter emails in which a word is anywhere in the subject field, or filter emails not containing that word.
Step 4
Click the "Folder" menu and select a folder to place the filtered messages. Note that you can add new folders from this menu as well.
Step 5
Edit, remove or add filters at any time via the Filter Settings window. Click the "Menu" icon in the upper-right corner of the page, select "Settings" and click the "Filter" option in the left menu. When you click on a filter, a summary description appears at the bottom of the window.
Use the arrows to give one filter priority over another. For example, suppose you have one filter to catch the word "pizza" in the subject line, and another for all emails sent from your accountant. If you get a message from your accountant inviting you for pizza, it will go in the filter at the top of the list.
