One of the best things about Yahoo Mail is that it lets you organize your inbox as per your preference. Yahoo Mail allows its user to create up to 1000 filters and decides which email to deliver in which folder. Classify incoming emails by creating a separate filter for the email messages as per their category. For example, create a folder by the name – "Family" and you will find all your emails from the members of your family getting delivered in this folder.

So whether it’s an email from your boss, friend or family, you can easily create a filter to directly send email to their respective folder. To know how to create a filter in a Yahoo Mail, follow the step-by-step instructions given below:

  • Sign into your Yahoo Mail account and move your mouse cursor to the Settings and click on it. You will find Settings option on the top right corner of the screen.
  • Select Filters from the given options. A new window will open.
  • Under Filters, click on the Add option.
  • Give your Filter a suitable title and enter it in the provided field.
  • Fill up the filter criteria.
  • After that, select a folder from the given ones or click on New Folder to make a new filer.
  • When done, click on Save button. Again click on Save button to get back to your Yahoo Mail account.
