Using Yahoo for e-mail, how do I find out what all those symbols mean.e.g.flagged!little arrow thingie,etc????

e.g. flagged, little curled arrow, brief-casesymbol or is it a file? Does Yahoo have a site to explain their e-mailing service or do they assume we're all psychic or have been on a computer course or what?

In some cases, if you let your mouse cursor "hover" near or over the symbol it will activate a description ie: a blue arrow pointing left is indicating that you replied to a message.
Reply:In the Top left of you Yahoo email window you should see a Help menu. click on it and explore the various areas. Here's a page that tells you about some of the icons you'll find to get started:

You also get a lot of extras with a Yahoo email account which need to be explore separately. For instance you mentioned a briefcase, there is an area provided which you can use to upload files from you computer, so that you can access them from another computer anywhere in the world.


Yahoo 360潞 is area for you set up your own blog.


Yahoo Photos an area you can upload your pictures to and allow others to view them.





Of course if you don't want to use these additional features you don't have to.
Reply:While in Yahoo mail, hit the help button at the top right of the yahoo screen and have a look through there


Most of the buttons are self explanatory ie flag means it puts a flag on the message to make it more noticeable etc


I have used several email servers and yahoo is the easiest
Reply:Well here are 2 of them for you...the curly arrow means you have opened the email %26amp; clicked on reply %26amp; replied to it.


The flag means you have clicked on the "flag" button to put a flag next to the email inorder to pick it out more easily for whatever reason you want.


I suspect that the briefcase means you have saved the email to your yahoo briefcase (I have never used this one)
