    A friend of mine is using Yahoo for his email. On the left side when you open your mail account, you have Inbox, Bulk, Trash, and some others, and under that he has bunch of 'custom' folders; one is called Mom, one is called Insurance, and so on. He's got about 15 or 20 of these. The thing is, neither of us can figure out how to delete these folders! We can remove the stuff in the folder so it's totally empty, but the 'parent' folder remains. There also doesn't seem to be a way to rename these folders. When you right click on one of these folders, you don't get too many options, and the options you get are mainly 'open in a new window' type things or 'print' or 'save as'. There is a 'properties' choice, but it doesn't offer anything at all. If anyone can shed some light on this, we'd both appreciate it! It's not a big deal, it's more of an annoyance than anything, but what the #%$*&! We should be able to rename or delete these freekin' folders!
    THANX!

    On the Yahoo Mail main page where the folders are, there should be a tiny "edit" button next to the "add" button. Click it and it will take you to all of your folders and options to delete the custom ones are there.
