Not getting email in my yahoo account
I am running into quite a few problems with my yahoo account lately.
1. I have problems logging into my account on Opera - will not go in. Tried updating Opera and flash player
2. Now I am not getting email from contacts at all. Only newsletters and spam come through
There are others but these 2 are the worst.
p.s: I tried using the contact form for Yahoo but it did not work and won't send the email. It does this even when I filled in all the required fields.

I had to resist the urge to respond with "Yes, you can be helped", or "No, there is no help for you" - take heed of this advice: asking a yes-or-no question is not recommended unless you want to receive a yes-or-no answer.CesarePlay wrote:Can anyone help?
As for your problem: I would try and reproduce in a different browser; if that works, then I would contact Yahoo and flame them over a lack of cross-browser compatibility. However, the first problem may be cookie-related.

Re: Not getting email in my yahoo account
Try Internet explorer to login to your account
Send some test emails to and from your email account
Contact some one via yahoo and ask if they having any problems..
You could create your yahoo account in outlook if you know their pop3 or smtp servers...
Send a blank email to any email address (a made up email addy) and when it returns invalid check the header, you'll find the pop3 there..
At least with the pop3 server, you should be able to see if you can at least receive mail in outlook...

Re: Not getting email in my yahoo account
I managed to narrow it down. It is blocking email from 3 people. Two are from clients and one is from Maxxis. I don't have anyone listed on my block list so not sure what is happening with these 3 emails.

Re: Not getting email in my yahoo account
what version of opera are you using?

<OT'ish>
has everyone upgraded their opera in the last few days or something?... i only ask because of the flurry of issues while i'm still merrily trolling along...

opera includes a mail client... this still sounds like a cookie issue..ADV4NCED wrote:You could create your yahoo account in outlook if you know their pop3 or smtp servers...

I tried your suggestion and it opens fine in IE6, 7 and firefox. I can only change settings in IE6,7 but not firefox. I try cookie settings for Opera now and see what happens.

I am using Opera 9.64.
I bought Avira Premium suite 2009.
However I have always had this problem with my yahoo account not opening in Opera no matter what version I use or what av I use.

the only other suspect here would be your cert-store is scribbled or you're not being presented with a cert challenge...

Re: Not getting email in my yahoo account
Ok. I have to check that. It is annoying. I also noticed when I try post in one website I go to that if I use Opera I can never post.

login issues are almost always cookie related... try relaxing your cookie control...

have you checked ""Preferences->Advanced>Security>Manage Certificates>Rejected/Intermediary" for any obvious looking culprits?..

Re: Not getting email in my yahoo account
I checked now and everything is enabled. In Firefox I can post but with great difficulty and IE6 a little better and still battle to post. It is the only site that does this.
The website this problem happens in is www.fm09.de

Re: Not getting email in my yahoo account
I'm running Opera 9.26 and I have a few issues too...Facebook for example - everything works fine except it doesn't accept any keyboard input
AFAIK Yahoo! mail does not support POP access - Yahoo! Mail Plus does, but that is a paid for service/

Re: Not getting email in my yahoo account
Ok. I going to try get hold of Yahoo again on their form. I have a long list of complaints for them about my account.
Re: Not getting email in my yahoo account
Ditch Yahoo and get a Gmail account. End of problems.

Re: Not getting email in my yahoo account
sheesh... just touching the yahoo mail site with either FF or opera produces reams of scripting errors.... now i know why it's known for being touchy...
after digging through opera bugs, it turns out that yahoo intentionally targets opera, which requires that each opera client attempt to mask itself when touching the yahoo domain.
sadly, this only works until yahoo plays silly buggers again.. looks as if they've done just that... struggled to create an account in FF, all out prang in opera and 3 attempts to create one in ie6, 2 in ie7...
damn bad code base by every appearance...

Re: Not getting email in my yahoo account
I do have a gmail account and might use it more often now. I use my yahoo account fairly often because I have yahoo messenger in it to chat to overseas people that I know. It is not a standard yahoo account.
