Can I organize my Yahoo Mail with folders?

I've been on Yahoo Mail for years and while most of my friends are now on Gmail or their own Web-based email programs, I like Yahoo. It's easy, and everyone knows my address as being @yahoo.com. However, I would like to get a bit more sophisticated about my use by working with folders so that everything isn't just sitting in my inbox. Can I create and use folders in Yahoo Mail?

How do I enable Yahoo Mail two-step authentication?

I've been reading about how lots of online services now use 2-step authentication or verification to ensure that no-one else breaks into your account and it sounds great. I have a cellphone that's always with me, so the idea of the system sending a temp second password to my cell phone and requiring that I enter that too sounds great. But does Yahoo have it yet?

Can I create incoming mail filters in MSN Live Hotmail? (revised)

Category: Windows PC Help

Using Windows Live Hotmail, searching the page for "filter" fails, even though that's what you suggest on your site (see article: How to create custom email filters in MSN Hotmail). Your suggestion is not correct, do you have an update?

How can I view message source in Windows Live Hotmail?

The latest upgrade in Windows Hotmail has gone ahead and removed the View Message Source from the right-click context menu in the Inbox! I have always found that to be a valuable and critical tool in filtering out /previewing potentially risky e-mails without ever having to actually open them.

Why on earth would MS disarm their Hotmail account users in this day and age in the battle against scams/spams/phishing and all other sorts of nefarious exploits!?!?

I get all sorts of spam from my Microsoft Live.com membership. I just want to keep my Hotmail account active since I've had it since I was in high school, but I don't want to have to weed through all these promo messages, etc. Can I turn these off? I know there used to be a way...

How can I print one message in a Gmail message thread?

Category: Google Gmail Help

I like Google Mail, but the threading feature drives me nuts. I don't want my mail threaded and I don't think of conversations that way. The worst is that every time I print, I print the entire thread, rather than just a single email message in the thread. Darn Gmail! Is there a way to print just one message?

How do I sign up for the Sony PlayStation Network on my PSP?

A buddy just showed me on his Sony PSP Slim that he can get to a network where you can watch movies, download games, and all sorts of cool stuff. He says it's the "PlayStation Network" and I want it! How do I get it on my PlayStation Portable, because when I look on the main menu it just ain't there.

How do I import Yahoo Mail addresses into Address Book on the Mac?

Category: Mac OS X Help

I want to import my yahoo address book to the Mac Address application on my laptop. I am running OSX 10.3.9. In Mac Address book "help" it says: "If you have problems importing a contact into Address Book, make sure it is a vCard or is in LDAP Interchange Format (LDIF). These are the only two formats Address Book recognizes."

I realize that to export my Yahoo address book it must be in the format of ".cvs"

Obviously these formats do not match so I ask you if you know of a work around solution to this?
