What Is Yahoo Groups Vs Yahoo Mail?

Organizing Your Email

There are lots of options for how to layout your email. You can change the spacing of your inbox, align your messages differently, and use different colors and levels of brightness to make your screen more visible. Both platforms have a lot in common.

You can either mark them as important or mark them with a star. You can sort your inbox. You can archive or mark messages as junk.

You can mark messages as read or unread. Yahoo Mail functions with the folder system you might recognize from Outlook. Each folder has a separate inbox that you can stay organized in.

Gmail: Search Engine for Email

The power of the search engine in the app is brought to the table by Gmail. You can use operators such as label, is:, OR, limit search to specific groups, define date ranges, and so on. You can do it all in a flash.

The search will try to predict what you're looking for before you even finish your query and offer up those results. The app allows you to send files from Drive to email or attachments. If the person you're sending the file to can open it, you should change the sharing settings for that file.

You can choose which account you want to see in the app. The app does not require a confirmation to show images as they are hosted on their own server by Google. If you want, you can still change the settings to prevent the automatic displaying of images.

You can either move your mail around from category to category or set your own rules for which category to put it in. The add-on is only available in Yahoo! Mail.

Yahoo Groups Shutdown

Yahoo posted a notice on its website Wednesday that it is shutting down its Yahoo Groups website, which is a mix of outdated community forums and mailing lists that you probably don't use. You can download the Privacy Dashboard to save your data. The website will live on, but all public groups will be private or restricted, and admins will have limited access to group settings and tools.

The website was supposed to be a way to stay in touch with your friends, interests and communities. The writing was on the wall for a long time, but Yahoo did not explain why Groups is shutting down. Many of the groups are old and have not been updated in a while.
