The key here is Yahoo email as this is for Yahoo email accounts only as it isn't possible to set this up with a Sky email address.

Thank you Really Disappointed Sky email account does not offer this as clearly Yahoo does. Why do they add the Yahoo extension if it can't offer what Yahoo appears to offer to its customers. Me I think it's becoming necessary so I'll be looking to migrate to one that does. Thanks

I am also extremely frustrated that this feature is not offered given it is standard for consumer email applications.

For this, and a number of other reasons, you'd be better of switching to an alternative email provider.
