Quick Search for Messages from a Sender

Did you know that you can retrieve all messages FROM a single user with only one click? Longtime readers of this blog already know that the All-New Yahoo! Mail features a very powerful and easy to use Search option that makes it very easy to filter your results by a wide variety of criteria (folder, date, sender, etc.). If you haven’t seen the previous posts with tutorials and screencasts, or if you simply love revisiting my earlier work, you should really check them out.

Anyway, we know that often times people will be reading a message from another user, and realize that you need to track down something from an earlier email with that same person.

Maybe they have selectively forgotten an embarrassing admission. Or maybe you are certain that they included directions in a previous email but you are having trouble tracking down which message. Really, it could be any reason, but we all have times where this comes up.

Of course you can head up to the Search box and type in the user’s name, but that requires typing and accuracy. Instead you can simply click on the user’s name in the message header (name or email address) and a Search runs for all messages from that user. That’s right … only one click needed!

Apologies to the Classic users, but this feature is only part of All-New Mail.
