Sign-out of e-mail

Hi,
Just wondering if I had misunderstood something here.
Using webmail (and no, I'm not going to use a client on every occasion ) when I sign out of my account that should be it, irrespective if I have previously ticked "Keep me signed in". Manually signing out should over-ride any other settings.
I was quite surprised to see that having signed out of my account on a PC, and closed the browser, next time I went to open the browser on the same PC, and clicked on the E-mail link on BT.com, I didn't go to the log-in page, which I expected, but was taken straight to my own logged in e-mail page. This doesn't seem right to me, and very insecure.
This is using the latest edition of Firefox, with it set to delete history on exit.
Has anyone else seen this strange behaviour, or am I just being daft?

When I saw your first post I tried to replicate it. All was as you would expect with the login page that I usually use for email, but when I clicked MyBT at the top of this page and entered my BT ID, the password appeared automatically (albeit as dots) and I could access email without having entered the password manually. This persisted even if I logged out of MyBT. I found that the password was stored in Firefox and deleting it there has overcome the issue.

  • Can't sign out of e-mail andproblems with e-bay account

  • How do I sign out of my mail account?

    I am using an IPad2. When I log in to my yahoo email account through "Mail". I do not see where I can sign out. Can you help?

    You can turn the email account off, but there is not an option to log out. This is not webmail access using a browser. This is accessing the account with an email client and the same does not apply.

  • Signing out of mac mail

    I haven't seen any discussion on this in recent posts. Only from a couple years back. But is it still really the case that the only way to keep my Mac Mail from being public is to have multiple user accounts and then sign out of my user account each time I leave the computer to ensure that no one else looks at my mail?
    Right now, we have basically one user account. And we don't sign in or out of it. I use Facebook? I sign in and then sign out and go on my merry way. Someone else comes along and wants to use their gmail? Same thing.
    But this becomes a major hassle if I want to use Mac Mail. We actually have to have multiple user accounts just to keep our mac mail private from one another? And then each of us has to be signing in and out from those user accounts constantly just to use the computer? Seems like a humongous hassle and a major reason to not bother with Mac Mail. Maybe useful for folks who have a computer that they and only they use. But for those of us who actually have computers that are shared, that's a big-time deal-breaker.

    Howdy jumpcuts,
    The best way to keep information such as mail private between multiple users of a computer is to have a separate user account for each user. This allows each user to maintain their settings and preferences for all applications such as Mail, web browsers used for FaceBook, etc. See this article for information on how to set up new user accounts -
    OS X Yosemite: Set up users on your Mac
    An alternative would be to create a Guest User account and use a web browser to access email accounts. Guest account settings are not saved between logins. See that same article.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How to sign out from yahoo mail?

    How to sign out from Yahoomail in Ipad?

    How do you mean? the yahoo app? or accessing via safari? or using the mail app?
    Using the mail app there is no way to sign out of mail accounts. The presumption is that the iPad is a single user device, so no need to sign out.

  • How do i sign out of mac mail?

    I may be selling my computer soon. I was wondering if thier is a way to delete everything in the mail application. Or maybe a way to just sign out. -Thanks!

    If you will call Apple and give them your serial number, they should be able to send you install disks; or..... since you are running 10.6.8, I can assume that your purchased Snow Leopard as a retail disk, in that case, you can simply buy another.
    You do need an install disk to erase your hard drive and then reinstall the system and you really do not want to have another person have access to your private information. That could have some very unpleasant consequences.

    Hi,
    You can do that:
    Close the Creative Cloud application.
    Navigate to the OOBE folder.
    Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
    Delete the opm.db file.
    Launch Creative Cloud and login again.
    Normally ,you'll be able to disconnect after that.
    If it doesn't work you can install the new machine,it will ask you if you want to disconnect all previous machines .Do that and reactivate the machines you want.

  • When trying to sign out of Hotmail the "back navigation button" remains green and I have to click sign out again and the same thing happens over and over and the only way to close Hotmail is to go to File and Close Frame, so what's my problem?

    When I attempt to sign out of Hot Mail by clicking "Sign Out," I get the "Sign In" instruction as I always have, however, the green Firefox navigation button remains on bright green (not going to gray) and my MSN home page will not close automatically as usual. I click on the green arrow and I get an instruction to "Sign Out" again. I click on that and get the "Sign In" again but the arrow stays green. I can repeat this countless times and never get signed out and always remaining on the MSN home page. The only way I can close is to go to File and click on Close Window and then my homepage will close and go back to desktop. I've been using Firefox for a couple of years now (IE prior to that for ten years) and have never had this problem. After using "Close Window" I go back onto my home page, from the desktop, and the navigation button is grayed out normally until I sign in again and we start the cycle over again. Have I been hacked?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Approximately a month ago.

    I was doing a side-by-side comparison of the new and old server (we backed up the server before the reformat) and I can see that, evidently, CR XI was installed.  We have the directory C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0 and all the versions match what is located in the project's bin directory.  Does this confirm that I did have XI installed and licensed at one time?
    If I purchase a more recent version, couldn't I update the reports to use the newer version?  I have all the source code.
    Thanks for your help, it is a nice sanity check for me after hours of reading forums and documentation.
    Also, just a shot in the dark, but I'm assuming it wouldn't do me any good to simply restore the aforementioned folder to my C drive?  Would that work if I registered all the dll's?
    Edited by: Eric Hollering on Dec 2, 2009 6:40 PM
    To be clear, I do have VS 2003 & 2005, and I have the source code.  I just have never used Crystal Reports in any of my .NET apps because the need wasn't there, so recompiling is not out of the question.
    Edited by: Eric Hollering on Dec 2, 2009 6:49 PM
    Also, I looked at the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll that was in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\Managed folder and when I right-click and view the properties, then the Version tab, in addition to the 11.0.9500.2 version number, there is a property called Product Version that has the value .NET.  Does that mean that this dll was bundled with Visual Studio?
    I also found this directory on the old server...does this tell you anything?
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11
    I did see that you can still buy XI from CDW.  I have a call into them currently to check with Business Objects for any registrations from my company.

  • I open up yahoo and my messenger (no the full version) the one you can use in your mail. Now that I have opened I can't close it even though I hit sign out again and again. Please advise.

    I am new to using a mac I have an older version. But I have used firefox on my pc before. I downloaded it and went to open messenger. Not the full downloaded messenger but the one you can access when in your mail on yahoo. It opened fine but now it won't close, even though I hit sign out again and again. I have tried force quite, uninstalling and reinstalling and still every time I sign into yahoo on firefox there is my messenger list open. For privacy issues I really need to be able to open and close it.

    Known issue, our QA team working on it, See

  • When exiting Yahoo sideshow the program will not go back to the Yahoo mail and drops out the sideshow for future use unless I sign out of Firefox completly and re-enter. What needs to be done to correct this problem?,

    Every time I use the sideshow feature of Yahoo Mail, it locks out the Yahoo Mail when I try to exit the sideshow feature and I have to sign completely sign out of Firefox to have the feature restored. Even using the refresh key, it removes this feature and causes it to act as though I am not authorized to view the feature. Is there something that I need to set?

    I think the problem lays with Last.fm. I had the same exact problem as you. In your processes screen, end the task "lastfmhelper.exe" Last.fm still scrobbles. The tracks don't skip, although I notice there is still a bit of a lag in the first part of the song - but if you can deal with that, no skipping. I think you will have to end that task everytime you boot up your computer, or uninstall last.fm completely until they fix it; it is a bug in their software, as opposed to iTunes.

  • When I use Firefox for Yahoo mail the tabs such as sign out, search email, help seem to be disabled. How do I make them work? Works in Internet Explorer

    There are a number of tabs at top of my inbox such as sign out, search email, help, etc. They do not work. For example cannot insert a name for search email- will not give me the curser to do this. When I use internet explorer these tabs do work so not a problem with Yahoo mail- must be problem with Firefox. Recently updated Firefox.

    SafeBrowser posted Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

    I disabled the Babylon extension and Yahoo Mail works now.
    Thank you SafeBrowser

  • How can i sign out of my hotmail in mail?

    I´ve signed in with my hotmail in mail. Every time i open the program mail, my inbox comes up. How can i sign out, so other people cant read my mails, or so other people can check their mail? Anyone with the same problem? Please help, I´ve just bought my first mac, so I´m a bit helpless. Thanks

    You can't "sign out."  That's not how desktop email clients work.

  • Can't sign out of iCloud on Yosemite. Mail was unable to delete 'email'.

    I have a MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.1 and I'm trying to log out of my iCloud account, but it won't let me. The error message I keep getting says,
    "Mail was unable to delete 'email'. Relaunch Mail then sign out of iCloud again."  I get the same message if I try to delete the account from Internet Accounts.
    I've tried adding the email account in, but it says it's already there. I've deleted the com.apple.mail folder rebooted and tried and still the same thing.
    The supervisor and engineers at Apple phone support have yet to find a solution for this other than wiping my system clean and starting fresh. That's definitely not my preference.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Stacy

    I had the same issue. I rebooted to safe mode by holding the shift key at boot up. From there I went to System Preferences, iCloud, and I was able to finally sign out.
    Hope this works for you.
