Robbie Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 hmmm... this is a strange one... For almost a month now the only way I can access my Yahoo Mail account is by clicking on the website url THREE times. It may sound strange, but when I first click I get nothing happening, same with the second time. It's only when I do it for a third time that I can access my email account... Anyone else having this problem or is it just me? I've tried it with both Firefox and IE7 and have the same outcome with both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 this is after clearing all cookies, and in fact deleting anything that's deletable! It's bizarre... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I have an sbcglobal Yahoo email account and it works okay with me. Yahoo was gonna revamp their email system very soon. Maybe that has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DennisD Posted May 14, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 14, 2008 Not the same problem Robbie, but Yahoo's gone a bit funny with me today. Won't work with WebMail Notifier, and keeps popping up these pain in the a**e boxes, to fill in the scrawl of numbers/letters. I keep getting them right, but it keeps popping them up anyway. I've given up on it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corona Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I hate those crypto boxes. How many times are they going to include both the letters O and I with the numbers 0 and 1? Or you get rn which looks like m. Etc. etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've given up on it today. Sounds like they must be under some sort of botnet attack and in their haste to set up those boxes they also installed a few bugs.My friend uses Yahoo mail and he thought I had something to do with messing up his access. davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 I'm still having this problem and I'm having this access problem on more than one computer! I'm getting worried in case I suddenly find I can't access my email anymore. I've had this particular email address since 1999 and it is my primary email address. I've got lots of emails there going back to 1999 and don't want to lose them. I doesn't seem like they can be backed up either. This only started about a month ago. Very bizarre.

Moderators DennisD Posted May 16, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2008 I've just found out that it's Yahoo Mail Classic that's to blame here. They've been making a lot of changes, and it's the reason WebMailNotifier won't work anymore. It was WebMailNotifier throwing up the "botchecks", not yahoo itself. Switch to the New Yahoo Mail, which I don't like, and everythings fine again. I think they must have been making the type of "improvements" that may force people to switch permanently to the new version. EDIT: I love the new avatar Robbie. Nice one.

Nice one. ah, I did once wonder if it was the Yahoo Mail Classic that could be the problem. I don't like that new beta one, the classic one looks and feels much better.

Is it gonna be on the Angel site, and do you need tickets?no need for tickets and the events are in the fields surrounding the Angel http://www.gateshead.gov.uk/Leisure%20and%...ngel%20Day.aspx there's other events on other days too, including a candle event tomorrow night (listed under Late Events on the menu).
