In new Yahoo Mail all emails are shown in one continuous list. Below the Delete button is the "Sort By" feature. Click "Sort By" and then choose "Sender". The list will display emails in alphabetical order as determined by Sender. If arrow in menu next to Sender is pointing up, it will show emails sorted by sender in alphabetical order a-z. To change the descending order, open the menu and click sender again. The arrow will reverse. You can also hover your cursor over the Sender name in the message line. A magnifying glass icon will appear to the right of the Sender name. Click the arrow to display a list of emails belonging only to that particular Sender.

Why can't I sort my yahoo mail by sender anymore?
Found the answer here it is: It is possible to sort by sender and subject. Follow these instructions: Turn off conversation view in settings (settings > viewing email > enable conversations), then it's possible to sort by sender and subject, etc. (To find options to sort emails, click on 'view' in top-right-hand-corner, directly above the time stamp of the emails.) Thanks Randy and Zag for the help.
How do I view all my photos from emails with the new Yahoo Mail?
Unfortunately, the option is no longer available in the new version. I finally contacted a yahoo rep and was advised they removed this option....no good explanation given....The only way you can bring them up now is to find the email that contains the photo. This means you have to check your inbox....sent folder or any other place you may have saved them. You can also use MAIL SEARCH on your email page and enter something that relates to that email...IE: senders email address or subject matter ...to bring up that email. You can also enter PHOTOS and/or ATTACHMENTS in this search box, which brings up many, if not all, of your emails that has attachments/photos. I loved that option, but apparently Yahoo does not...=)) This is how to go back to Classic ... if you want to.. Go to , http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ym... and click on "click here" that follows "However, if you do not want to upgrade".
What went wrong with Yahoo? It was once worth almost $125 billion, but today sold to Verizon for $5 billion.
There is no one single reason that Yahoo "went wrong", which I assume means that they aren't seen as one of the top couple of internet companies like they once were. There are product reasons, strategic reasons, and cultural reasons. Some top of mind examples though:Focusing so much for years on Panama (Google Adwords competitor) and search in general, when they ended up losing to Google and eventually outsourcing this to Microsoft.Becoming too unfocused. Yahoo tried to do everything and triggered the famous Peanut Butter Manifesto from Brad Garlinghouse that summarized this problem well.The shift from a desktop world where everyone used home pages to a mobile and social world. Yahoo failed to build their own successful mobile and social products or to acquire any. Yahoo got too bloated, and nobody would ever make the cuts needed to both headcount and its products/properties.Buying Flickr, then letting it languish. Buying Flickr for $35 million was a bargain when you see how huge social photos are today. They could have turned Flickr into the next Facebook or Instagram and instead didn't invest properly in it.Failing to acquire Google and then Facebook. Yahoo had opportunities to buy both of these companies when it was clear they were going to be big successes and instead wouldn't pay what was needed. For example, they had a deal to buy Facebook for $1.1 billion pretty much accepted, then Yahoo's earnings came out and the value of the deal dropped to 800M due to stock compensation and Zuckerberg balked when Yahoo wouldn't change the deal to put the price back up. Think about the value of Facebook today and that Yahoo didn't acquire them over a $300M difference.Leadership changes. Looking at companies like Google and Facebook you'll see that the same leadership has essentially been in place the whole time. Yahoo has had a shifting cast of CEOs and executive teams that has never provided a longer term vision and execution path to take shape.Acceptance of lower quality employees. By the time I worked at Yahoo from 2007-2010, there were still a ton of great A-quality people there, but there were also a lot of B or C-quality people who were not outstanding at their work. This starts to eat away at the company and make the A-players go work elsewhere.There are more reasons, but these provide a good summary...
How do you mass delete emails on Yahoo Mail?
Presuming you’re using Yahoo Mail on your PC/laptop, this is the method that I use. Also I find it easier to use the old Yahoo email, rather than the “new”.Sort your emails in “Ascending Order”. That way, you’re looking at the oldest first.Look through and make certain that any email you’ve starred or emails from family, etc. that you might want to keep — mark those and put them in a Keep folder. Otherwise, click the Select All button.Then click the Delete button. Or even better the Spam button.This is not a very speedy way to go, because Yahoo shows you only about 50 messages at a time. But after doing this 20 or so times, you’ll find you’ve made quite a dent in those emails that build up.I’ve heard there’s a way to filter e-mails that are over, say, 6 months old, but I can’t find the setting. If anybody knows where that is, please let me know.Thank you, and best of luck!
Why would a person use Yahoo mail over Gmail?
LOL!!!My apologies, but outside of familiarity, or keeping a long-standing address, there is no possible reason I can imagine to choose Yahoo over Gmail. Gmail is totally superior, in every measurable or comparable way.I know several people, clients and friends and relatives, who cannot (or more accurately, will not) learn or adapt to the Gmail paradigm. They adapted to Outlook or some other email client years ago, or they have used AOL or Yahoo for years - and they are simply not willing to change.And to be fair, it's important to realize that Gmail is fundamentally different. The brilliant folks who created it questioned every assumption, tossed out some things "everyone else" was doing, and did them in entirely new and better ways. If you learned the "Outlook way", or similar, Gmail does things that at first seem strange and incomprehensible.Most will deny it if confronted, but people strongly dislike change. In fact, I'm constantly amazed at how incredibly hard people will struggle to avoid change. And in Gmail's case, honestly, that's fine. Really! Gmail is a better way. Incomparably, immeasurably better. But it's not something that will significantly improve your life.It's like choosing to drive a beat up old car, when you could be driving a sexy new Ferrari. There's nothing wrong with driving a beater, especially if you love it. It still runs! You're familiar with it, been driving it forever. It will get you there.
How do I view email older than a few months on Yahoo Mail on my old, slow computer without buying a premium account?
I don’t have a premium Yahoo account, and I have mail that is over 13 years old. I didn’t use Yahoo much after I signed up with Gmail, mainly because of their being hacked so many time, so I had over 50,000 unread messages. I wanted to clean it up so I could use it again.I have Thunderbird for my email client, it works in systems as old as Windows XP SP2. I went into my Yahoo account settings and allowed third party software, put my email and password into Thunderbird, and several hours later I had ALL my mail. It took me about an hour to clean it up, and now I have a nice clean mailbox at Yahoo again. My friend sent me some pictures of my son’s baptism 10 years ago that I thought were lost, but no, they were still sitting there nicely on Yahoo’s servers waiting for me to download them.
How can i "unspam" an email address in yahoo mail?
you can do what boston said - or you can add the email address to your adresses. By doing that it will put the incoming emails in your "in box". If that does not work - you can "reset" your spam filter (but this will allow ALL mail in your in box and you will have to start all over marking spam) to do this (as a last resort) go to * "MAIL" * "OPTIONS" * Spam Filter * SpamGuard Plus is ON [Turn SpamGuard Plus OFF - Reset Filter
