Notifier for Yahoo Mail - Email Alerts

Perfect! The only extension that works well with Yahoo

Very useful. Normally, yahoo email alerts don't seem to work, but this extension alerts you AND allows to read and respond to the emails via the extension pop out. I don't understand these other negative ratings...?
