Right click the container folder (e.g. Inbox) and choose New Folder.

You can set up rules to move or delete emails based on the email address they are sent to or sent from. Click the message you want to set up the rule for and then click Message | Create Rule from Message

3 how do i Set up a Mail account
Tools|Accounts|Add|Mail and follow the wizard

4 what this Set up a Newsgroups account for
To allow you read postings in Usenet newsgroups.

Outlook Express only works with Hotmail accounts

Not in Outlook Express. Lookup Mailwasher or SpamPal in Google.

Your ISP will let you know what it is.

Ask your ISP

Depending on which type of Yahoo account you have, you may be able to use POP3 to download your Yahoo Mail to your mail client (Outlook Express).  If it's an xxx@yahoo.com address, you have to pay for the Premuim version, but if it's an  xxx@yahoo.co.uk address, you can sign up to use the POP3 option, but unless you want loads of spam, leave all the boxes blank.

it yahoo.co.uk

how do i setup the e-mail server names part

[chorleydave]

Hi GSS.  Assuming you have already logged into your Yahoo Webmail account and converted it to a pop account:

For a pop3 Yahoo account:

pop.mail.yahoo.com

smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Also, put a tick in the "My server requires authentication" box.

Just a point, but the SMTP (outgoing) server may have to be that of your ISP.  Do you have an e-mail account set up with your ISP?
