Route a Sender's Mail to a Particular Yahoo! Folder

Email & Messaging

Updated September 01, 2019

Using a simple filter, you can route mail from a particular sender to a folder in Yahoo Mail. This helps you keep your mail organized, cuts down on inbox clutter, and puts such mail where you can find it easily.

Here's how to set up the filter.

Select the gear icon at the top right of the main Yahoo Mail screen to open the Settings Menu.
Select More Settings.
Click or tap Filters.
Select Add new filters.
Enter the filter's criteria in the Edit Filter menu that opens. In this example, we're filtering out mail from somebody@gmail.com and sending it to a folder named Some folder. Make sure Match case is not checked.

If you haven't created the folder in which you'd like these email folders filed yet, here's how.
Hit Save. Now, every email that meets the criteria you chose in the previous steps will be filed automatically in the folder you've designated.
