HOW do I find my categories in Yahoo Mail? They used to show up in alphabetical order under contacts.?

However now I cannot find them anywhere! I need to edit one, and I cannot find it displayed anywhere. Somewhere in Yahoo, it refers to a drop down menu, but where that is I have no clue!
Thanks!

AH thank you! The PROBLEM turns out was that I was on the so-called "new Yahoo mail" once I got back into Yahoo Mail Classic, your instructions worked perfectly. Thanks

On your mail page, click on "contacts" and your address book opens.
Check Each Name you Want in this Category -> Click the "Add to category" Link (Next to the "Send to" Tab) -> In the Drop Down List, Click on "New Category" and a Name Box Opens -> Type in a Name -> No Special Characters, no more than 12 Letters. Just keep it Simple and then click "OK" -> It's Done.

- All you have to do Now, is Enter the "Category Name" in the Address Line you Prefer, and Everyone in that Category Gets the Mail.
- Each Category Name Will Appear in the Side Panel of your Address Book (Contacts) Under "Categories" (for Editing Purposes)
- Also, in the Drop Down Mailing list. Click on the "Category" Link Next to "My Contacts", and the Different Categories are Listed

Hi,

The "Categories" are found above and to the right of the Address Book, which is found as follows:

Above "INbox"
Select "New" or "Forward"
Select "To"
Up pops the Address Book, with last name, first name, email address, and nickname (in green)
Above it and to the right is the "Categories" option. Select the "Category" you need, (from the drop-down menu) then be sure to Select "Go" or it won't work.
Now the Category is displayed.

To edit information about a particular person in a Category,
Select "Contacts"
Below Contacts, Select "View All Contacts"
Select the name of the person you wish to edit
Up pops the Smiley Face, with the yellow "Edit" button slightly to the right
Select "Edit"
Now all the information for the person is before you. Make the changes, and be sure to "Save" (top right) when you are done.
The changes will occur to the Contacts and the Address Book and Categories.

Good luck
