[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Yahoo Emails in Outlook

Sun Aug 20 19:37:46 PDT 2023

Elaine,

In all likelihood, the person that has email going into their trash from 
Yahoo needs to add an inbox rule that redirects the mail to the inbox. 
This needs to be done on the mail server. If they are a gmail user, for 
example, it is very simple to set up an inbox rule that says all mail 
coming from Elaine goes to the inbox.
