Yahoo! Mail - Keep it Simple, Social
Friday December 26, 2008
Your inbox has more messages than, say, a day minutes? Yahoo! Mail offers a new way to get to the important emails faster: you can zoom each folder (including your inbox) on messages from your Yahoo! Profiles connections.
First, you have to connect, of course — and this is social, not simple. After getting an invitation from you, the VIPs in spe need to set up a Yahoo! profile if they do not already have one. Sadly, there's no way to make somebody a connection just for you without them knowing or having to go through any hoopla.
Yahoo! Mail prominently suggests people to whom you should connect. If that annoys you, or if you can do without the connections altogether, it is, fortunately, easy to turn off Yahoo! Mail's new social features.
›› Yahoo! Mail is your ubiquitous email program on the web and mobile devices with unlimited storage, SMS texting and instant messaging to boot.

Why don’t you use the subject line in the email to headline your story. Like today: you know this but your camera doesn’t then I look for that when I open up your page and can’t find it.
I don’t have time to search. If you do I am not seeing it.

Alice,
hi; sorry for the (repeated?) confusion — and thanks much for pointing it out!
In this case, see How to Make iPhone Mail Keep Less Deleted Mail for what your camera doesn’t know: that snow is white.
thanks again,
