Yahoo! Mail... Is there anyway I can set up a folder to recieve only a specific email?

For example...lets say I want to have a folder for emails my family sends me...can I create a folder where all emails from my family goes directly there instead of the general "Inbox"?

    You can create a Filter to automatically move emails to a folder. You need to go to Options and Filters ... then you'll need to put part or most of the email address in the SENDER contains field, and then choose the action to MOVE to FOLDER and select the folder you want ... may have to create it before creating the filter. You'll need to do this for each of the emails unless they share something in common ... say last name is included in each email then you could say SENDER contains SMITH. Good luck! :)

    Sure. After you open the email, click on "move" and then when the box opens, fill out the id part of the box, and from then on, just click on "move" and click on the folder you have labeled and in it will go. You could label it "family stuff" and there ya go.
