Mail account"},"content":{"rendered":"

Despite the meteoric rise of social media, email is as popular as ever. And as with all online activities, it\u2019s important to spend your time wisely. After all, a messy inbox isn\u2019t just frustrating to use; it could actually\u00a0<\/span>increase your stress levels<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

So here are three ways to organize your Yahoo! Mail account. They\u2019re easy to learn, quick to set up, and will help prevent headaches next time you check your mail.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add all your email clients to Yahoo! Mail<\/b><\/p>\n

These days, most of us have more than one email client. Often there\u2019s a reason \u2013 separating work and play, for example. But it means having our attention spread over more applications, interfaces, and functions (not good for our overworked brains). It\u2019s better to combine them all in one convenient place. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Under Settings<\/strong> (the little gear symbol at the top right), select Accounts.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Click Add another mailbox<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Select the client you want to add.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Enter the email address.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Log in to your other client and adjust the settings to give Yahoo! Mail access.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Create folders to organize your emails by topics or themes<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Remember back in the eighties a typical office would have shelves of box files and folders? This is a digital version of that concept (and it takes up far less space). Folders give you single-click access to topics you\u2019re interested in<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    A common system might include folders for work, social, and family<\/strong>. But there\u2019s no right or wrong way. Just choose the system that makes most sense to you.\u00a0<\/span>Once you\u2019ve decided, create your own folders by following these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Move your cursor to the Folders<\/strong> section on the email menu column on the left-hand side.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. You\u2019ll see a little folder symbol appear alongside it. Click it.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Enter the folder name and hit Enter<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. To add emails to your folder, simply drag and drop them from your inbox. Or, select the email and use the Move<\/strong> button on the horizontal selection bar on top and choose the folder you want to move it to.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Use filters to automatically sort your email into folders<\/b><\/h3>\n

      It can get a little irritating having to constantly move new emails into folders, but thankfully Yahoo! Mail has a solution: filters<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Filters let you set rules that automatically folder incoming mail. All you need to do is give Yahoo! Mail the criteria to filter by, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n
