BT Internet email and Yahoo

Hello all
Obviously I have an @btinternet.com email address (which I never use for email, all messages are forwarded to my Hotmail address).
I also have a completely separate login for Yahoo which I've had for years; I don't use Yahoo email but use it for membership of Yahoo groups and Yahoo Answers.
My computer/browser can't seem to differentiate between the two now and so takes me to Yahoo email. What's the best way to manage this - use different browsers?
Thanks
Small

That would work.
I find that if I log out when I've finished and don't tick the "remember me" box when logging in, then there isn't a problem.

BT Emails and Yahoo Mail App

I have been looking at the changes BT are bringing in when they move emails away from Yahoo. I currently use the Yahoo Mail app on my iphone. BT say they are not going to be introducing an app when emails are moved across. Does anyone know of any alternative apps? I do not want to use the email facility on the iphone as I would like access to my inbox and sent items and I would rather not have to keep sigining in to webmail to check for emails, the Yahoo App alerts to new emails.
The only option I can think of so far is to start again with a new Yahoo Mail account but then I would need to keep my BT email address with all my historic emails.

You need to set it up to use IMAP. See this link how to do it
http://www.names.co.uk/support/new/email/1182-how_to_setup_an_imap_account_on_iphone_ipad_iphone5.ht...
and use these settings if it does not set it up automatically when you select Yahoo

Scan to Email and Yahoo Second Sign-In

I am trying to setup scan to email on my HP printer and it's having problems with Second Sign-In on Yahoo. I've turned off Second Sign-in and everything works fine but when I reenable it (on Yahoo) and generate an App specific password for my printer the software tells me I have "incorrect credentials" failure. I've used app specific passwords in Yahoo before so I know this feature works but for some reason the HP software doesn't like it.
Hope you can help.

Hello rkimball,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see you are having issues with the setting in Yahoo and Scan to Email on your HP printer. There is no option to enter the information Yahoo is trying to ask for within Scan to Email. Even though other Apps have worked with this, Scan to Email will not.
Regards,

New email and Yahoo profile

I have reluctantly upgraded if that is the word to ythis new email which seems to be even slower and with larger adverts and keep getting a message "You are setting up your Yahoo profile" I keep clicking no thanks but it comes back every time I log off. does anyone know:-
1/ What is it
2/ How can I get rid of it

I don't think you mean Messenger - I've had the profile page pop up a couple of times on my primary account, which doesn't have Messenger active
Here's my test account to show you. This one has Messenger active. Click on the Messenger icon (shown in red to the left) and you sign out of Messenger this way.
Or do you mean the one to the right?

Iphone email and yahoo accounts!

I just got my iphone yesterday and I have linked it to my yahoo email account. but the problem is that, my yahoo email is linked to another email account (not yahoo, it's my school email account). Now, when i go to get my email from my ipod touch, only the yahoo mail comes up, and i can't figure out how to check my other email that is attached to it. Does anyone know how to set it up so I can do that? There is an option of adding another outgoing mail server, but i'm not exactly sure if that's what will fix it...please help!

I'm not quite sure I follow exactly.
If I am thinking is what you're having issues with, then simply try this.
While in the iPhone's Mail program, see if you notice a back arrow in the top left corner. Tap it to get out of the Inbox, then tap it again to go to your Accounts page. You'll have all your added accounts listed here.
If you only have one account on the iPhone and want to add another, go to "Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Add Account". Find out your school settings from your IT department there and put it into "Other".
Hope this helps. If not and you still need help, reply back and I'll get an email.

I have tried everything but iphoto won't export to snapfish. It says check network connection, but I am clearly connected to the internet, email and everything works. I have updated the software reset the PRAM, restarted a million times, please help me!

every time I try to export photos from mac mini iphoto to snapfish is says check network connection, but the internet is working great. I have updated everything i can think of please help.

Several people including myself are having the same issue and have contacted HP and Apple. Quite frankly, I'm surprised it's been an issue for so long being that photos uploaded to Snapfish = $$$. Lets hope they can work this one out, as of now, there apparently is no solution.

Opening Email and other aps

I just upgraded to OSX from 9.1. I want to know how to open my applications from 9.1, like my OE email and Yahoo email.

Never mind. I found the answer.

I downloaded Office for Mac 2011, and almost immediately my Yahoo email stopped working, most images were disabled throughout my internet sites, and my bank site reported that I was using a "new computer," which is not true. How can I get my email to work

I have an iMac version 10.6.8/2.66 GHz Intel Processor and 4 GB memory, with Safari 5.1.10. I had used Office for Mac 2008 but had to upgrade for work. The download (from Amazon) went swiftly, but when I started Word, it did not function too well. Then about an hour later I noticed that my Yahoo email site stopped working, it lost all images and the text just jumbled up on the left side of the screen. No amount of emptying caches or resets/quits/restarts did anything. I called the Internet support, and they just said it was my iMac that had the problem. I have been reduced to using MacMail as my email, but this is tenuous, as my Yahoo account keeps holding things up and constantly asking me for my password (and sometimes it does not accept it). How can I get my computer back?

The path may be long and tedious, grasshopper.
Actually, the download of Office 2011 for Mac probably was not legal and may have contained bugs or other things meant to make it unstable, or invite a host of issues. The usual path would be Office 2011 for Mac on DVD so you could reinstall it and add the extras from the disc as needed; or fix the installation later on. The updates for security were downloads from Microsoft servers. You'd need a legitmate version with pass code.
Options for Mac and office-like application suites include Libre Office, NeoOffice, and these run free. The latter supports up to Mavericks. 10.9.1 now. They have a word, excel, and other parts a lot like the real office.
If you have a working clone of the system prior to installing the Office 2011 for Mac download and any subsequent and perhaps unseen extras, you could revert to it simply by restarting the computer from the clone, where it resides in externally enclosed self-powered hard disk drive, of a type known to support OS X clones... With ports to help work with most modern Macs. FireWire + USB. Then, clone it back w/ carbon copy cloner.
Short of that, perhaps someone will see your post and offer some indepth method of hunting down bugs via use of Console logs; and maybe booting into Terminal utility to use unix code. It can be rather involved. Maybe Linc Davis will offer some detailed reply that will invite you to read carefully and try it.
I've given up using computers long ago.

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Hi SandyS_VZW,
Yes tried resetting the wifi connection and problem still persist.
Here it is...to make it clear. Connected thru the same wifi at home...
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook WEBSITES are working fine and fast when using/accessing thru a browser (chrome/samsung browser) - no problem with this.
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook APP is soooooo sloooww (thru the App). Slow I mean comparing it to using their browser/websites... news feeds/emails refreshing so quickly but not when using the APP installed in Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Slow like - It will take around 5-10minutes just to get your emails and news feed refreshed.
THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN CONNECTED THRU A WIFI which has a speed of 10-20mb. It is not happening when connected to the network data/plan.
My wife has the same Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (coming from different provider at&t) - same setup (emails, fb app), same wifi connection, but she's not experiencing anything like it.
Not sure why, I dont want to believe that while connected to a WIFI, Verizon is restricting anything and ******* me off to make me switch to my data plan connection everytime - which is Unfair!
Was there a known issue similar about this case?
thanks,

On Yahoo Mail through Firefox, the delete box, flag box, etc. are blank, only the person's email and subject are seen, but I can see it all with Internet explorers Yahoo mail

On Yahoo Mail, through Firefox, when mailbox opens, and I want to delete, the delete button is there, but not boxes below, next to the email I want to delete. Same when I flag an email, the flag is missing. There are blank spots on my mail page. Through Internet Explorer on Yahoo, everything is there, the delete boxes, the attachment symbol, etc.

In Windows Live Mail, click on Menu, Options, then Email accounts on the Toolbar. Highlight your @verizon.net  account and click Properties. Click the Advanced tab, then un-check the Leave a copy of messages on server checkbox.
This should remove mail from the server as it is downloaded.

Email providers other than gmail and yahoo?

We are moving and will be loosing our Comcast.net account. Are there any other internet providers other than gmail and yahoo that are nation wide that I can use firefox and thunderbird with?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Microsoft operates Outlook.com, formerly Hotmail. It offers IMAP connectivity so you can mirror your mail into any number of mail programs: http://blogs.office.com/2013/09/12/outlook-com-now-has-imap/
There are, of course, dozens of companies around the globe that you could use as your free email service, but Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo probably are the "big 3" in this field.

Firefox freezes when I try to open my emails and use the internet, what can I do?

Use Mozilla Firefox to see my emails and use the internet from about one week when I try to see my emails or use the internet it takes me to another wed site or gets freezes I am worry about because I don't know what's going up. This is the first time it happening to me. It says Firefox can not work properly it will close and I can lose some information, or click to star a new session but it never starts again it got freeze and I have to shut down the computer.

Use internet explorer as your default until this issue is resolved. Under Firefox, hotmail live will not load my email folders. No problem using internet explorer.
