Question

Can yahoo mail notify me by text when I receive an email from a particular address? thx?

Answer 1

I think the best way is to Set up a filter in your mail of the address that you want to be notified of..

then go to Alerts and create an alert

http://alerts.yahoo.com

Register your device @ http://mobile.yahoo.com

Set up a Filter in Yahoo! Mail.

You need to create a Filter to start forwarding messages to the device you selected. Click Save below to go to the Filters page.

I hope this is what you want -otherwise

You may try and go thru Yahoo GO and filter the mail you want to get.

Go to:  http://m.yahoo.com/    mobile browser

Click on Download Yahoo Go

When a mail goes in your Inbox and meets your criteria, it can trigger an SMS message 100 characters long, composed of the sender's address, the subject, and the the beginning the message.
