• The best Yahoo! Mail settings for users of assistive technologies
• Using Yahoo! Mail's accessibility features

The following settings improve Yahoo! Mail's compatibility with screen readers:

• Enabling "pagination" mode: There are two ways to view the messages in the Inbox, either in a scrolling list with a preview pane or using a paginated list. Note that the paginated list is the default option for users, so if you haven't changed this option in the past, you don't need to change it now. 
• Going to the Inbox by default: This bypasses the "What's New" page when you log in to Yahoo! Mail.

To enable these settings:

1. Select Options | Mail Options in the upper left corner. To do so without a mouse:
   1. Use the Tab key to navigate to the "Options" menu button at the top of the page.
   2. Press the Enter key to show the button's menu.
   3. Use the down arrow to move to the "Mail Options" link and press Enter.
2. To enable pagination mode:
   1. Under Behavior (this is the top section of the Mail Options Menu), make sure the radio button next to Show Messages: Page by Page is checked. (Use the Tab key to move to these radio buttons).
3. To go to Inbox by default:
   1. Also under Behavior, check the box next to Inbox: Show on startup.  (Press the Tab key to move to this checkbox).
4. Select Save to save your changes. To do so without a mouse:
   1. Press Shift + Tab until focus lands on a button labeled "Save Changes"
   2. While focused on the "Save Changes" button press the Enter key
   3. Press Ctrl + \ (Cmd + \ for Mac) to close the Mail options tab and return to the Inbox.
