Fortunately, these days, many email clients have features that assist you in organizing your inbox. One of the most popular of these features is the folder system.

Yahoo Mail is one such email client that lets you organize emails in folders.
If you've created a folder in Yahoo Mail and decide you no longer need that folder to organize your emails, there's a solution for that too: you can delete the folder.
