Tips & Warnings

• When typing your keywords in the search bar, do mentioned the name  of the sender and the subject or any words related to the emails you are looking for.  In my example, I choose the word “investing”. Any emails related to “investing” will show up.
• use the advanced search if you can’t find the emails when you just use the search bar.
• Take note that if you click “search web” instead of “search mail”, Yahoo will give you millions of web pages related to the keyword you entered in the search bar.
• It is very important to think twice before you delete messages because deleted messages may be hard to recover.
