Review Summary
Users appreciate that the Notifier for Yahoo Mail extension provides accurate unread email counts and clear notification sounds for Yahoo Mail, working well for some over years. However, multiple reviews highlight problems like the icon showing an 'X' instead of counts, inability to open mail by clicking the extension, lack of support for multiple accounts, interference with standard Yahoo Mail functions, and issues with customized notification sounds. These recurring issues diminish the overall user experience despite its otherwise useful notifications.
