A Connection can refer to two things. First, a Connection is anyone you communicate with on Yahoo! Personals. Additionally, a Connection refers to the convenient, single-page view of all your online communication with another Yahoo! Personals user.
The Yahoo! Personals Mailbox is different from a traditional email Inbox because it shows people with whom you communicate, not individual messages. Individual sent and received messages are shown in your "Connection" with each of these people.
This Connection view greatly simplifies your daily communication tasks on Yahoo! Personals and allows you to keep track of your online conversations with other users, which means better first dates, more second dates.
