How do I find the "compose" icon when I log into my email account on my smart phone?

Community Answer

It should look like a little piece of paper with a pencil. It will probably be in the bottom right hand corner.

Question

What is the symbol for Yahoo mail on a tablet?

Community Answer

The symbol is purple with a big "Y." If you don't have the app already, go to the app store on your tablet and search for the "Yahoo mail" app.
