What Is the Guest List on Yahoo?
Enrolling your Yahoo email address with Boxbe, an integrated email filtering service, adds a guest list feature to your Yahoo account. The guest list is one of several email management features that support Boxbe. Boxbe creates the guest list to help organize your email when you sign up, because the service relies on sender identity instead of email content to sort Yahoo Mail messages.

Purpose
-
The Boxbe guest list feature simplifies managing incoming email by helping you recognize important incoming email. Boxbe maintains the guest list as you use approval actions that are visible when you open and read emails. Future incoming mail from guests will appear in your Yahoo email inbox as you sort important email contacts from those who are not.
Sorting
-
Messages that are not associated with your Boxbe Guest List are placed in a Waiting List area, which Boxbe creates and maintains for you. These messages appear in a wait list folder. Wait list messages remain isolated from the incoming email from your guest list contacts. Although Boxbe automatically maintains your guest list, you can control who remains on your wait list.
-
Adding Guests
-
As you send new emails through Yahoo Mail, Boxbe automatically adds the message's recipient information to your guest list. You have the option to add individual contacts to your guest list by clicking on special convenience links that appear in incoming messages. New people can be also added to your guest list in bulk. Boxbe maintains an Import Tool page for importing contact lists as well.
Guest List Requests
-
Those who send messages to your Yahoo Mail account may request to be placed on the guest list if they're not already there. Automatic replies are sent to such contacts. The reply a person receives includes links that allow the recipient to request addition to your guest list. You maintain the ability to accept the request.
Account Management
-
Manage Boxbe's guest list feature from within your Yahoo Mail account. A guest list view option along with account management screens enable you to control who is given a place on your guest list. Since messages that are held in the Boxbe waiting list are deleted 30 days after they are received, if you sign up to use the Boxbe email filtering tool, add key contacts to the guest list as soon as possible.
