How can I view only unread messages in the new Yahoo Mail set-up?

Yahoo Mail recently changed its format and, I have to say, it doesn't suit me as well. My way of managing work was to mark messages as unread as a kind of prompt list for what I needed to do and it worked well for me. In the new format imposed by Yahoo I can't see how to organise my e-mails this way. I really would be very grateful if anyone out there can explain how I can set my view to unread messages only.

Also unsure if I'm receiving messages from my other e-mail accounts (POP) since the changeover. Less of an issue but if you know how to remedy this please let me know.

Thanks.

    1. Access your Inbox or the folder with the unread messages.

    2. Click on the purple square located next to the "From" column just above your message list.

    3. All your unread messages will rise to the top, with the newest messages listed first.

    4. Click it again, and your unread messages re-sort from oldest to newest.

    In the right hand upper corner of the messages window, click "view" and next "unread messages", and you'll see only the unread messages before you see any other. Next, do what you want to. :-)
