Overview
Probably one of the oldest and longest-running email service providers. The original web-based version of Yahoo Mail was initially launched in 1997 by Yahoo. The core function of Yahoo Mail is to provide email services for both individuals and businesses. It comes with various plans like Basic, Plus, Ad-Free, and Business. Generally, Yahoo Mail allows users to send and receive emails, send documents and files, and many more. The mobile version of Yahoo Mail offers the same range of services and it managed to capture all the important elements from its web-based counterpart. Best of all, everyone can use and download the app absolutely for free.
How Does Yahoo Mail Work?
Yahoo Mail is a very simple and easy-to-use app. Simply download the Yahoo Mail either from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store to get started. After downloading the app, you will be asked to sign in using your existing Yahoo account or if you do not have one yet, you can easily create a new account for free. The app will immediately prompt you to the Inbox folder that allows you to view all your messages. You can switch to other folders by tapping the mail icon on the bottom left corner of the screen. From here, you can easily access your Drafts, Sent, Archive, Spam, and Trash Folders. You can also access all other folders that you personally created.
You can easily organize your mail and sort your messages in no time. Important messages can be Starred and access them all in just one quick tap. To compose a new message, simply tap the pen icon on the upper right portion of the screen. You can also send files, documents, photos that are not more than 25MB in size. Interestingly, Yahoo Mail also supports multiple accounts and you can easily connect all your email accounts from other email service providers like Gmail, AOL, Outlook, and more. The best thing about the newly improved Yahoo Mail app is a simple interface that users can easily navigate and explore (even single-handedly).
