Step 4: Configuring the Filter Settings

A new window will appear for configuring the filter settings. Enter a name for the filter in the Filter name field, such as the domain name. This makes it easier to identify the filter later.

If you need to manage or edit your filters in the future, return to the Filters section in your Yahoo Mail Settings. There, you can modify existing filters or delete them if they're no longer necessary.

Adding a domain to the safe sender list allows you to control the emails you receive, ensuring important messages don't get lost in spam. With these simple steps, you can enhance your Yahoo Mail experience and maintain a clutter-free inbox.
