Quick Yahoo! Mail Tips and Tricks

Despite all of my recent Gmail tips, I'm actually a long-time Yahoo! Mail user. For about 15 years, my primary means of communication has been my Yahoo! account. Here are a few quick tips for using Yahoo! Mail.

  • Put the folders you use most often at the top of the list, and then just hit the number of its placement to send messages to that folder. For instance, my first folder is "1. Wife." After reading an email from here, I just hit "1," and it is filed.
  • When composing a message just hit the Subject: button to cycle through a collection of random subject lines. (This Easter egg doesn't work in the new Yahoo! Mail Beta.)
  • Hold shift after selecting a message to select multiple messages. Hit Crtl-A to select all messages in a folder.
  • Hit the letter V on your keyboard to have more space to organize your folder. Hit V again to reopen the message preview.
  • Type the letter N to start a new message or R to reply to a message.
