BT Yahoo mail question

[sparkythecat]

Some of my mates are profligate with their emails and send me all sorts of funny stuff.
However, BT Yahoo's mail set up means it takes ages to look through it.,
Say for instance I get a mail with 6 cartoon images as attachments. I have to open the mail,
look at the really tiny thumbnails then download each individual image seperately before I can view them.
Loads of clicks and waiting takes all the fun out of it.
Am I making hard work of things or are there any shortcuts I should know about?

You don't have to read the emails on your web browser. You can set up another program, eg Outlook or Outlook Express, and read your emails there. Instructions on the bt yahoo help site.

Plus, the advantage you can read them on either outlook or yahoo.

Thanks for your help. I've managed to do that and I can now read my mails much more easily in outlook express.

A couple of questions

Do I have to go back into yahoo to send any mails or is there a way of getting your address boook copied from yahoo into outlook express?

What's happens to the spam folder, that doesn't appear on outlook express. Do you have to
go back into yahoo to access it?

Click "File" then "Import" to copy address book from yahoo.
Yahoo gives instructions on how to do the import from outlook.
Send emails from either & of course Microsoft Word/Office

SpamGuardPlus works in yahoo mail as before (default mail address) where you will find any that have "slipped the guard" lurking in "Bulk" ready for deletion.
