    Setting up Priority Inbox in Sky Email

    • Answer
    • A clear, step-by-step guide for Sky customers to enable and use Priority Inbox.

      Quick answer: Enable Priority Inbox from Sky Mail Settings to show important messages first; sign in with your Sky iD and open Yahoo Mail via sky.com to access the setting.

      Overview

      Priority Inbox separates likely important messages from other mail so you see what matters first. It works in Sky Yahoo Mail on sky.com and learns from the messages you open, reply to, or mark as important.

      Why use Priority Inbox

      Shows important mail first: reduces time spent scanning newsletters and promos.
      Learns from you: the system adapts as you interact with messages in Sky Yahoo Mail.
      Keeps everything accessible: non-priority mail remains in the inbox so nothing is deleted.

      How to enable Priority Inbox

      Follow these steps while signed in to sky.com with your Sky iD:

      Sign in at the top-right of sky.com and open Yahoo Mail from your account menu.
      Click Settings in Sky Yahoo Mail and look for Priority Inbox options.
      Turn Priority Inbox on, choose the section order (Priority first), and add any contacts you always want marked as important.
      Save changes; the Priority section appears at the top of your inbox.

      Tips to teach Priority Inbox

      Tip: Mark messages as important, reply to or star key emails, and add important contacts to the always-important list to help the system learn faster.

      Troubleshooting common issues

      Can’t find Priority Inbox? Make sure you are signed in with your Sky iD and viewing Sky Yahoo Mail on sky.com. Some older apps and third-party clients don’t expose web-only settings.

      Changes not appearing? Sign out and sign back in, or clear your browser cache and refresh the page. Web interfaces sometimes need a refresh to show new settings.

      Sent messages flagged as high priority? This is often caused by settings in your email app rather than Sky Mail itself; check the app’s message priority or flag settings.

      Reversing Priority Inbox

      Priority Inbox is reversible. If you prefer the classic inbox view, return to Settings and turn Priority Inbox off. Your messages remain unchanged — only the view is different.

      Summary
