Notifier for Yahoo Mail

Notifies you when new emails arrived in your Yahoo Mail box

Notifier for Yahoo Mail is your go-to Chrome extension for immediate alerts about new emails in your Yahoo inbox! Simply log into your Yahoo account, and whenever you receive a new email, you will be notified instantly without the need to check your inbox constantly. This extension stands out by fetching only a small amount of data (in kilobytes) instead of loading the entire page like other add-ons, saving you bandwidth while keeping you connected to your emails.

Designed for efficiency and ease of use, this extension ensures that you won't miss any important messages. Please note that this add-on requires you to be logged into your Yahoo account, and if you encounter any issues after updates, reinstalling the add-on may resolve them. It’s important to mention that this extension is not affiliated with Yahoo!

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.
