Searching Your Email Messages

Here’s How

1. Perform a basic search. (Remind me how.)

2. Click the Attachment View link.

   

   The Attachment View page condenses the results to display messages with attachments only, and shows the type of attachment in the first column.

   

3. Click the Subject text to view the message associated with an attachment.

   

4. If the attachment is an image, you can preview the full size of the image by clicking the attachment icon (or thumbnail).

5. To save one or more attachments to your computer, do the following:

   • Click the check box next to one or more attachment icons, then click the Save to Computer button.

     

     Tip: If you want to save just one attachment, you can also click the attachment icon or file name.
     
     

     Yahoo! Mail scans the attachments for viruses, then opens the Download page showing the files ready to be downloaded and saved to your computer.

   • Click the Zip & Download Files button (or the Download button, if you selected only one file).

     

     The File Download window appears.

   • Click the Save button.

     The Save As window appears.

   • Locate the folder where you want to save the file, then click the Save button.

     A message informs you that the file or files were saved in the selected location.
