I don't have a Yahoo account - has anyone else experienced this problem, and know how I can stop the annoying thing from turning up every so often? Saro |

16 Sep 08 - 01:09 PM (#2442208) Subject: RE: Tech: Yahoo Mail unwanted appearance From: Doug Chadwick I have the same problem. It's most annoying. I've searched for various settings but not found the solution. My wife uses Yahoo for her e-mails but hasn't checked them for a while. Coincidentally, I haven't had the problem for a while. Perhaps the computer still thinks she is logged on after she has been using Yahoo, even though she thinks she has logged off. Do you or another person use Yahoo e-mail? DC |

16 Sep 08 - 01:19 PM (#2442218) Subject: RE: Tech: Yahoo Mail unwanted appearance From: Bo I work with a Mac and Yahoo does not work well on this platform. If I want to adjust my account or check if missing mail has been put in a Spam box it takes me several tries to log on to the account page. It wont let me log out but, fortunately, it seems to log out for me if I don't talk to it for a short while. My email is a BTOpenworld account and any attempt to get to their website always takes me to Yahoo. It's a pain in the bottom. I have to put up with it or change to another provider. There seems to be nothing I can do about it. Good luck. |

I use YahooMail on Macs, both at home and at work, and also on a Windows laptop, and never have any trouble at all! Do you get the same problems whichever browser you use? Apart from Safari and Firefox, there's also now Camino, a new Mac one - all three of which work fine for me. Saro - are you Windows or Mac, Vista/XP or Tiger/Leopard? I've never heard of this problem before - |
