What does outbox mean in yahoo mail
In Yahoo Mail, the "Outbox" is a folder that stores emails that you have sent but have not yet been delivered to the recipient's mailbox. It's a temporary holding area for emails that are waiting to be sent.
When you compose an email and click the "Send" button, the email is moved to the Outbox folder. From there, Yahoo Mail's servers will attempt to deliver the email to the recipient's mailbox. If the email is successfully delivered, it will be removed from the Outbox folder. If there's an issue with delivering the email, it will remain in the Outbox folder until you take action to retry sending it or delete it.
The Outbox folder serves several purposes:
- Temporary storage: It provides a safe place to store emails that are waiting to be sent, in case your internet connection is lost or your device shuts down.
- Error handling: If there's an issue with delivering an email, the Outbox folder allows you to retry sending it or investigate the problem.
- Organization: It helps you keep track of emails that you've sent but haven't yet been delivered, making it easier to manage your sent emails.
To access your Outbox folder in Yahoo Mail, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
- Click on the "Inbox" tab.
- Click on the "More" dropdown menu at the top of the page.
- Select "Outbox" from the dropdown menu.
Alternatively, you can also access the Outbox folder by clicking on the "Sent" tab and then clicking on the "Outbox" subfolder.
