Title: Yahoo email not working
Post by: Max on March 19, 2014, 07:05:41 AM
When I open Yahoo and go to mail, the list of emails appears and then disappears. If I click on the mail icon (upper left screen) the list appears but clicking on a specific email does nothing. So basically I can't read or compose mail. I've tried IE and Chrome; no difference. I AM able to open mail on my iPhone so I suspect it's a computer vs Yahoo issue.

Any ideas? Thanks

Still working on my end. International SMS has been down for a few days on Yahoo, at least to the PI.

Tried accessing Y email with a laptop...same issue. Seems to be working fine now on the desktop.

There was a somewhat similar issue some years ago with another browser based mail service. It appeared that Norton was blocking pop-up windows. There's a whole lot of browser toolbars and add-ons which can do the same, so getting rid of those you don't need might be a good starting point. After that resetting your browser(s) wouldn't hurt.

It wouldn't surprise me if Yahoo would be on some AV makers black list: http://www.informationweek.com/security/attacks-and-breaches/yahoo-ads-hack-spreads-malware/d/d-id/1113325

So I tried Yahoo EM from my workplace PC. Same thing. The only saving grace is that my iPhone is receiving/sending without a glitch. Weird.

IIRC there's two versions available for the Yahoo mail. Do you have the new and shiny or the old and trusty as default? iPhone doesn't use all of the Windows browser functions which would explain why it works while the PC versions don't.
