Yahoo! Mail Notifier

Notifies you when new emails arrived in your Yahoo! Mail box

What is Yahoo! Mail Notifier?
'Yahoo! Mail Notifier' is a nifty Chrome extension designed to notify users of new emails in their Yahoo! Mail box. Unlike other similar extensions that fetch the entire webpage, Yahoo! Mail Notifier is data-efficient, only fetching a small amount of data thereby ensuring a smooth user experience. Users should ensure they have given permission to "https://mail.yahoo.com/*" for seamless operation. A user-friendly tool to stay updated on your Yahoo! Mail without frequently checking the mailbox.

Summary

You must be logged into Yahoo for this add-on to work!

How to update the add-on: Remove old version first then install new version.

The difference between this and the other add-ons are: This add-on only fetches a small data (kb) instead of the full page (mb) what the other add-ons are doing. For this reason, i decided to create my own notifier for Yahoo.

Perfect! The only extension that works well with Yahoo
by Meowt Cat Meowt Cat, 2024-04-26

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...?

Works like a CHARM. Even yahoo notifications activated don't work as well as this. happily satisfied. 19.may.2022
