Notifier for Yahoo Mail

Notifies you when new emails arrived in your Yahoo Mail box

Notifier for Yahoo Mail is a lightweight Chrome extension that alerts you instantly when new emails arrive in your Yahoo Mail inbox. Unlike other add-ons that fetch full pages consuming megabytes of data, this extension efficiently retrieves only a small amount of data (kilobytes), ensuring minimal bandwidth usage while keeping you informed. Please note, you must be logged into Yahoo Mail for this extension to function correctly. If you experience issues after updating, reinstall the add-on before reporting any problems.

This extension is independently developed and not affiliated with Yahoo. The icon used is created by Freepik from flaticon.com. Stay promptly notified and manage your Yahoo emails effortlessly with Notifier for Yahoo Mail.

User reviews

Users generally appreciate the extension's ability to notify about new Yahoo Mail messages and its simplicity for a single account. However, many report it stops working correctly, showing an 'X' instead of unread counts, lacks multi-account support, and interferes with standard Yahoo Mail functionalities, causing frustration.

Pros

Works well as a Yahoo Mail notifier when functioning correctly
Provides email count notifications accurately for a single Yahoo Mail account
Has been reliable for some users over many years
Offers notification sounds for new emails
Compatible with latest versions of Edge and Windows 10/11 for some users

Cons

Fails to display correct unread email count and shows an 'X' symbol instead
Does not support multiple Yahoo Mail accounts properly, only showing count for one signed-in account
Stops working after some time, with clicking the extension not opening mail
Interferes with normal Yahoo Mail operations, e.g., preventing message selection or deletion within Yahoo Mail itself
Fails to play notification sounds or add sound files as expected

As soon as I installed this, here's what happened: (1) there is no link directly to the mail box. (2) the only way to delete messages is via the extension. Within Yahoo, messages can only be read, not selected or deleted, so this is interfering with normal Yahoo mail operations. (Sure enough, as soon as I uninstalled this extension, Yahoo Mail operation returned to normal. This is telling me this extension is doing something nasty)

I have more than 1 yahoo mail and this only shows the number of emails to the specific account I'm already signed into. That makes it useless to me. Chrome seems to have gotten rid of the only email notifier that worked well when you have multiple email accounts. x-notifier. (New neo version is terrible) It's getting frustrating trying to find something that actually works.
