Automatically moving emails from my inbox to an alternative folder

[Mike+K.]

Hi,

Can I change my setup/settings to automatically move emails from specific email addresses (more than one) upon receipt in my Inbox to an alternative inbox or folder that I've created ? 

  -  I would prefer these automatically moved emails were left with a status of Unread.

Thanks in advance.

If you login to the Sky website then you can't do this as Yahoo only offers a pretty basic email service to Sky customers. You might be able to do something like via and programs like Outlook amongst others.

@Mike+K. I think you can do it, by going to Settings then More Settings then Filters and entering the criteria to identify the emails you want to move automatically, and then entering the action you want the filter to take, that is, moving it to an existing folder. Having just tried it, it seems to work and the incoming email does appears as unread in the folder it's moved to. Give it a try.

What you can't do is forward an incoming email to another email account..
