Editing and Deleting Filters
In addition to creating new filters and modifying the order in which your filters are applied, you can edit and delete the existing filters.
Here’s How
Go to your Yahoo! Mail Filters page. (Remind me how.)
To edit a filter, select it from the filters list.
The selected filter’s current definition appears to the right of the list.
Make changes to any parts of the filter (name, conditions, destination folder), then click the Save Changes button.
The revised filter definition appears on the Mail Filters page when you select the filter in the filters list.
To delete a filter, select it from the filters list, then click the Remove Filter button.
The deleted filter is removed from the list and the total filter count decreases by one.
What’s Next
You can use filters more effectively if you follow a few tips.
