Here’s How

To access your Inbox:

There are a couple of ways to access your Inbox when the Mail home page is displayed.

• Click the Inbox link on your home page.

  

• Select the Inbox folder in the list of folders on the left side of the Yahoo! Mail Classic window.

  

Tip: You can always return to the Yahoo! Mail Classic home page by clicking the Mail (or Mail Plus) tab at the top of the page.

To check the weather anywhere:

1. On the Today banner near the center of the Mail home page, click the currently displayed city.

   

   A small window appears where you can enter a new city.

2. Type a city and its location (for example, its state or country) in the box, then click the Go button.

   

   The new location and its weather appear.

   

3. Click the weather to see a more detailed forecast and to switch between Fahrenheit and Centigrade temperatures.

   

To view your favorite top news stories:

1. To read a news story, click on the headline of the story in the Today area of the Mail home page.

   

   A new browser window opens displaying the full story.

2. To change the list news headlines, select a different category from the list of available categories.

   

   Note: The available news categories may vary depending on your location.

   Yahoo! Mail updates your home page to show the news category you selected.

   

   This is the category that displays until you change it.
