Email contents not visible using Yahoo mail, Windows 7 pro, FF3.6; email content fine in IE

New laptop with Windows 7 pro; loaded FF....worked fine for a couple weeks....then, contents in email no longer visible-----just blank box where text would normally appear. Only known changes were auto updates to adobe and auto updates to Windows. Zonealarm security in place since beginning, no changes since installation. When using IE, email is visible.
Just uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled. Same result....emails still not visible.
Appreciate any suggestions.....I hate using IE.

When you send mail the field you mention is used to populate the "ReplyTo: fild in the mail header. Otherwise it has no purpose and setting it to nothing will also work.
Yahoo are obviously checking that field as you send mail. that is points to a valid address, and I have a sneaking suspicion that is might be required to point to your yahoo mail account.
Historically the"Nigerian" type scam emails used a replyto address completely different from the one used to send the mail. So even if the sending account was closed down they still got the replies. The mail quite commonly originated in Yahoo and replied to Hotmail accounts. So I guess they have a check to try and discourage that legitimate, but undesirable from their perspective, use.

  • Attachments not visible in Yahoo mail under Firefox 18.

    Running under Firefox 18, attachments to received e-mails on Yahoo mail are not visible, as they used to be (and are under Internet Explorer). On downloading the e-mails (to Thunderbird) the attachments are there as expected.

    hello, in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/947471 this thread] a user has found out that the problem might be related to the ghostery addon.

  • Using yahoo mail on macbook pro

    I can no longer view the contacts in my yahoo mail account on my macbook pro. It doesn't show up when I sign in through google chrome, safari or firefox

  • When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings Safari Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is my ipad does not a Private Browsing switch

    When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings>Safari>Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is, my ipad does not a Private Browsing switchat this location.

    With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private  Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field.  The screen that  opens up has your bookmarks on it.  In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'.  Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off.  Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work.  This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS.

  • Using yahoo mail with outlook and mac mail

    I previously used entourage on my OS 10.6.8 mac but I have upgraded to os 10 and office 2011 with outlook.  When I set up outlook will yahoo mail messages only be accessible on the original device that opens them?  I have an iMac desktop with outlook, a Macair using mac mail and a Samsung tablet using yahoo mail.  I have noticed that when using mac mail only on the iMac and Macbookair, to get yahoo mail and yahoo mail on the tablet.  I can only see my yahoo mail messages on the first device that opens the yahoo mail account.  I have Yahoo mail plus.  Is there a way to fix this other than turning off the yahoo mail account on the devices I am not currently using?

  • Default Mail app not working with yahoo mail. Won't update.

    Default Maill app not working with Yahoo Mail.
    It stopped working the other day. I tried everything but it wouldn't update new mail. The yahoo account itself is fine because I can see new mail on Yahoo or a yahoo app.
    I tried deleting the account and putting it back on, but now it has 0 mail in any part of it. Nothing has synced.
    What do I do?
    iPad 2 latest OS.

    A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
    https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
    On the iPhone, tap Settings.
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
    Tap Add Account.
    Tap Other.
    Tap Add Mail Account.
    Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
    Click Next.
    Ensure IMAP is selected.
    Enter the following incoming mail server information:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail.
    Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
    Tap Next.
    The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
    That’s all!

  • Safari keeps freezing when using yahoo mail.

    Safari keeps freezing while using Yahoo mail. Have to close out or reset safari to regain access. Anyone else ever have this problem?

    Why not use Mac Mail instead of Yahoo's web based mail and having to access it via Safari and deal with incompatibility issues?
    Open Mac Mail.
    From the menu bar top of your screen click Mail / Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
    Click +  (plus) under  the Accounts  panel on the left.
    Type in your name, Yahoo email address and Yahoo password then click Create.
    It's that easy.
    To view incoming mail or start a new mail message just click the Mail icon in your Dock. If the Mail icon isn't in the Dock, go to your Applications folder, launch Mail. Then click and hold the Mail icon in the Dock, click Option / Keep In Dock.

  • Using Yahoo mail via Safari problem after IOS8 download

    After downloading the IOS 8 update on my I5c, I am unable to sign in to my email account on Yahoo mail. I access this account on my phone via Safari. Prior to the download of IOS 8, I had no problem getting into my Yahoo account. Each time I tried to access the account I would get the Yahoo message :In order to use Yahoo mail, turn Private Browsing off.: I believe IOS8 is the problem because I have used my wife's I5c and get easy access to my Yahoo mail account. Has anyone experienced this problem? And what the heck is Private Browsing?

    When I'm using Safari to access my yahoo mail accounts, I can write the addy and subject lines perfectly. The keyboard automatically comes up and I simply type in the info. I accesses my contacts perfectly and auto-types them in as begin the info. The trouble is that the IPad won't let me type anything in the text or message area. I can't get the keyboard to come up at all.
    Any ideas?
    Yes, what you describe is correct. With the new Yahoo "Mail Plus" a "smart" editable text box is displayed for the message area which the Safari iPad does not support. To use Yahoo mail you have to switch to the "Mail Classic" view. To do this look for the "Options" pull-down menu item on the upper right part of the mail page and select "Mail Classic". This should work for you.

    It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it. 
    I found some links on the Yahoo! website that might help:

  • Now I'm using Yahoo mail as my homepage, but I want to use Firefox as my homepage..

    Now I am using Yahoo.mail as my homepage. But I want to use Firefox as my homepage. Would you teach me how to do that?
    I am not a computer savy, so would you write the process step by step, please?

    I'm assuming you're using Firefox 4.x, if so:
    Click the orange Firefox button on the top left
    Click Options in the right pane of the menu that comes up
    Click the general button in the window that pops up (looks like a switch)
    You will see a white line for text entry labelled Home Page:
    Paste this there: http://www.google.com/firefox
