Yes! As a matter of fact, you’ve got three different ways to control how messages are sorted and displayed in your Inbox and other folders:

1. The View link, just above the list of messages in your Inbox and other folders
2. Column headings
3. Filters

1. The View link

Click All Messages (after the word “View:”, above your list of messages) to open a pull-down menu with your other choices: listing Unread Messages first, or displaying only Flagged Messages.

2. Column headings

When Yahoo! Mail opens, it displays All Messages and organises them by date. The most recent emails you’ve received appear at the top.

Clicking Date (at the top of the Date column) switches the order from newest-to-oldest to oldest-to-newest, so your oldest messages are on top. Click again to switch it back.

Click on the top of any of the five other columns -- Flag, From, Attachment (the paperclip), Subject, or Size -- to sort your messages in those ways.

Clicking the Flag brings your flagged messages to the top; clicking it again sends them to the bottom.

They all work like this; From alphabetizes all the senders A-Z. Clicking it again reverses the order. Clicking the paperclip once brings all your messages with attachments to the top; clicking it again sends all emails with attachments to the bottom. Guess what happens when you click Subject...? ;o)

The column furthest to the right is Size. If you want to bubble your heftiest emails right up to the top, click Size.

3. Filters

Use Filters to organise your mail. Yahoo! Mail Filters steer messages as they arrive into different folders.

To set up a new filter, click Options in the upper right corner of your Mail page and select Mail Options. Under “Management”, click Filters. Click Add, give the filter a name, and choose from a variety of options to automatically direct certain messages into a specific folder. For example, send any messages you get from your family into a folder called “Family”. Handy! When you’re done, click Add Filter.
