Subject: Tech: Connecting user name and P/W to Yahoo
After various comp troubles, offline for some time, and reinstall, I'm unable to access my Yahoo email via Firefox/Thunderbird or Seamonkey, which worked fine before the troubles.
I am able to access my email via IE (which I loathe).
Googling Seamonkey, I gathered that Yahoo has changed their setup to make access to their POP accounts hard for other browsers. I've downloaded YPOP, which is supposed to emulate the Yahoo setup, but I still get "Sending of Password" (or was it user/password?) "did not succeed. Mail Server POP.ATT.YAHOO.COM responded: invalid user/password".
Can some computer maven here help me? I'm sick and tired of Yahoo's miserable email facility.
