Disable the shortcuts feature in Yahoo! Mail

I've noticed that Yahoo's shortcut feature has come back (presumably because a cookie or account setting got flipped). I tried finding the setting to disable it but alas, no luck.

I have already reviewed the instructions here, but unfortunately the option doesn't appear to be available.

I'm referring to the feature where certain words in the email body are highlighted and you can click on the link.

How to get saved password from POP3 account in Gmail?

I have set up a POP3 mail account (Yahoo) in Gmail to send and receive my Yahoo messages from there. Everything works, so obviously I saved my password for the account somewhere in Gmail.

I want to log in to Yahoo now, but cannot remember the password nor the security question.

Can I somehow pull the password from Gmail?

I already tried to find it in Firefox's and Chrome's saved password list, but could not find it there.

Why is Gmail using Yahoo! Mail certificates?

I just got an error in Firefox 4 when trying to log into Gmail:

mail.google.com is using an invalid certificate
This certificate is only valid for *.mail.yahoo.com mail.yahoo.com

I use webmail notifier, so it checks both Y!mail and Gmail accounts periodically. I was also checking in over port 443.

Why would Gmail be using a Yahoo! Mail security certificate?

Can I easily search for starred / flagged messages across all folders in Yahoo Mail?

I am trying to find functionality in Yahoo Mail which is similar to what Gmail and Outlook allow for "starred" or "flagged" messages.

I would like to be able to star / flag a message, and then easily find all of my flagged messages, no matter what folder they are in - Inbox, a custom subfolder, Sent - either by setting up a smart search folder that lists all of the flagged message, or by typing an easy search query into the search box.

Is there any way to do this in Yahoo Mail?

How can I select all unread messages on the new version of Yahoo Mail?

A friend tells me on the old Yahoo Mail she used to use an option to select all unread mail in order to delete them all.

But in the new Yahoo Mail interface this option doesn't seem to exist. But is it maybe hidden somewhere?

Do email services send sender's IP address?

If I'm going to receive/send email through Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo, would I be able to see the IP of the sender? I know there's nothing to do with the IP but would it give away the location from where I'm sending emails? Just curious if such email providers send this information.
