Useful YPOPs! Options
I recommend you also double-click the YPOPs! system tray icon to change a number of useful settings. You can make YPOPs! ignore messages in the Bulk Mail folder of your Yahoo! Mail account, for example, tell it not to mark downloaded messages as read or have YPOPs! put a copy of outgoing mail in your Yahoo! Mail Sent Items folder.
