Personalising Mail Options
Yahoo! Mail is ready to use as soon as you sign up for it. But there may be a few things that you’d like to add or change about your email environment, such as adding a signature to your outgoing messages, displaying your incoming messages in a different order, or changing the colour of your Mail environment.
You can make all these customisations on the Options pages.
Here’s How
In the Mail tab, click the Options link, then select Mail Options from the menu.
The General options page opens.
Take a look at the types of options on the left. You can click any of these to access the options for the specific option type.
Familiarise yourself with your customisation possibilities by clicking through the list on the left.
Depending on what you click, the options display on the right side of the page or in a separate browser window.
What’s Next
If there’s something particular you’d like to change in Yahoo! Mail, be sure to look through the options; you may find exactly what you’re looking for.
