You can avoid using web based email for Yahoo.
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar click Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information
Then click + to add your Yahoo account.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and don't speak for "Apple Inc."
If you haven't already tried again and been able to successfully connnect, try again. If necessary, Quit Mail, and re-open it.
Some errors aren't caused by anything we're doing wrong, or problems with our equipment.
Major web service providers like Yahoo! experience 'downtime' now and then, sometimes planned, sometimes unplanned.
During the time you posted your question (about 18 hours before I post this message with the chart) Yahoo was 'down' as indicated by end-user reports, and illustrated by the colorful bands in the chart below.
www.downrightnow.com is just one of several places where the downtime of popular internet destinations is tracked.

When I try to open yahoo mail, the message below is shown. What do I have to do.

The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.

Does not solve the problem.

I cannot open Yahoo Mail in Firefox - It works just fine with all other browsers

When I try to open Yahoo Mail in Firefox, it times out.
This happens every single day.
Every once in awhile I get lucky and get in, but again, I have to deal with this issue every single day.
Yes, I've dumped the cookies and Cache
Yes, I've switched to No Proxy
Yes, I go through straight links and not bookmarks
Nothing helps.
Basically, if I want to get into Yahoo Mail, I have to open Google Chrome. Which has me thinking, if I have to open Google Chrome so often, why don't I just switch?
I'm a long time user of Firefox and would prefer to stick with it, but this is the kind of thing that will push me over to using Google Chrome.
Anyone have any other suggestions?

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Why can't you use it? Do you get a warning? Does the application not launch? What happens? Answering these questions will help: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
Thanks,

How can i get rid of this iidiotic pop-up. allple is changing for the worst. you have to buy a new macpro in order to upgrade to a higher system, sounds like obamacare.

You have probably clicked on a mailto: web link which directs links to send e-mail messages to wherever the webmaster chooses. Go to the View menu -> Show Statusbar if it available, and then make sure the bottom of your screen is visible. When you hover over a link, if it says: mailto: it will open in your default e-mail reading application set by your browser or your e-mail program preferences.
Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Software Update lets you change how often you see the software update window.

Firefox crashes constantly when opening Yahoo Mail and some other sites

Hi, since last night FF has been crashing constantly. It all started with opening yahoo mail page but just some hours ago it happened on Rolling Stone magazine's site.
I have tried all the suggested troubleshooting (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-troubleshoot-prevent-and-get-help#w_check-to-see-if-the-crash-happens-in-safe-mode). Then I did a complete wipe and reinstall of FF as instructed here http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox and the problem persists (even when no extensions and no personal data exists).
I am completely at loss here. It is my work-horse browser and I truly need it working. Please assist.
Thank you
P.S. I have always had a hanging problem with Flash if that might lead onto something....
Here is the latest crash report that I have submitted: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/8c0f6683-050f-4ef7-bef9-0245f2140827

Here's my situation....after I've been in yahoo mail for about 4 or 5 minutes,. it suddenly freezes and I see in the upper left hand corner of the tool bar it say firefox not responding, and then sometimes it just crashes. I shut of java, and I disabled ad blocker plus and it still does it, although not as frequently. I'm not going to go into safe mode and do all the of things some have suggested. I'm not that tech savvy, if there's not a good fix, then I'll use another browser until Mozilla can fix this. It would seem to me that since Mozilla and Yahoo are going to be working together in future builds why not fix the issue rather than frustrate long time users.....

When I tried to open my Mail app this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in

When I tried to open my Mail app on my IPhone this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in?

It sounds like instead of opening your Mail App, you actually opened your Settings App, and were somehow in the 'Add Account' section of Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
Close the apps, and then reopen just the Mail App.

When I open Yahoo mail I often get headings but no message but the message is there when I use Safari - Yahoo cannot help

When I open Yahoo mail, I frequently get headings but no message, but the message is there on Safari. I have gone through the chat room at yahoo and they did not find the problem when they accessed the account (but it is random). Any suggestions? (Yahoo went through cookies, add-ons etc -all the usual.)
I am not providing the URL because that may allow people into my e-mail account, but it is yahoo mail

That issue is caused by the Adblock Plus extension

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Trouble opening Yahoo Mail with Safari

Recently began having trouble opening Yahoo Mail with Safari. I am continually asked to upgrade my Safari to a newer edition; however, when I do a software upgrade check it tells me I have the latest edition. Anyone else having this trouble?

Your OS is way out of date and thus your version of Safari and Firefox are too. It would be wise to update Tiger using the combo update found here:http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__PPC
Then you can further update Safari to it's current version using Softwareupdate from the Apple menu.
You can also use Firefox Help menu to update to it's current version.
To be safe run Disk Utility's repair disk function from your original install disk and repair permissions before and after the update from your boot disk.
Good Luck,

Can access Yahoo, but can't open Yahoo Mail in Firefox. Can on Internet explorer.

Can access Yahoo, but Can't open Yahoo Mail in Firefox. Can open Yahoo Mail on Internet Explorer. Checked Password.

PROBLEM: This is the error I get when I simply try to open an email in Firefox. File not found Firefox can't find the file at http://us.mg1.mail.yahoo.com/dc/blank.html?bn=555&.intl=us&.lang=en-US. * Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors. * Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
I contacted Yahoo and they had me clear (1) cookies and (2) cache. This did work so that I can now open the emails in Firefox.
COMMENTS:
Yahoo support said "Please rest assured that Yahoo! Mail is properly working as of this time. It would be best if you contact Mozilla Firefox help support. They have the right tools and knowledge with the settings to access Internet Sites like Yahoo! Mail on Mozilla Firefox browser."
I'd like to know what to do to prevent this in the future because I've had this issue twice now in the last few weeks.

When give username and password to yahoo mail, it tells 404 not found

When i opened yahoo mail and typed user name and password, the browser did not open the account, instead it showed,
404 not found,
nginx/0.6.32

Go to: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/ and click the link to "Problems and error messages".

Why does Firefox hang when I try to open yahoo? It also hangs after I use it for a little bit.

When I try to open yahoo Firefox will hang and when I try to restart it will close but stay running. It seems to have started when yahoo went to the new version.I reset my screen resolution to 1152 by 864 pixels like yahoo said no difference. Firefox will also hang if I go to several web sites with out going to yahoo. I changed my home page to Hotmail instead of yahoo and it will open just fine. Any help will be appreciated. Rodney.

This just happened to me. Apparently yahoo mail just implemented something.. Check out this message from yahoo mail.
=================
Sorry, Yahoo! Mail Beta does not support your browser.
You can either download a compatible browser or proceed to the original Yahoo! Mail.
If you want to use the Yahoo! Mail Beta...
You can download any of the supported browsers for free by clicking the links below:
Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher (for Windows)
Firefox 1.5 or higher (for Mac and Windows)
SeaMonkey 1.0.8 or higher (for Mac and Windows)
To proceed to original Yahoo! Mail...
Simply follow the link below. If you sign in later with a supported browser, you will automatically be taken to Yahoo! Mail Beta.
Proceed directly to the original Yahoo! Mail
I use 10.3.9 and I have no idea why yahoo mail stopped working today. I have firefox installed on my machine. BTW - firefox is able to serf the web without issues on all of my sites. I often wonder why apple wanted to build a browser, why not just use firefox and contribute to it's development for the mac environment?

When I go to open Yahoo mail it tells me I should upgrade to the latest version of Safari. When I check for upgrades through Apple it says I am using the latest version. What am I not getting here?
