Unsubscribe from Yahoo Mail/advertising and news overload

I have an elderly relative who uses webmail.  She has a Verizon DSL connection.  She opted in to Yahoo mail somehow.  Can anyone tell me how to un-do her yahoo election?  If we did somehow un-do our yahoo mail and revert to <whatever is the default> would the web landscape become less cluttered?  Honestly, she can barely access her actual mail because the DSL bandwidth is completely sucked up by all the other screen elements, adverts, and so on. 

Sorry to hear about the problems with her email. Have you thought about setting her up with a mail client like Outlook Express, Windows live mail, etc? Should you still want to unlink the account, do these steps...
-Login to your account on Verizon.com
-In the red bar at the top click ACCOUNT then ACCOUNT PROFILE.
-Scroll all the way to the bottom and click CHANGE MY ONLINE EXPERIENCE under the "Online Experience" heading.
-Read the disclaimer and check all 3 boxes at the bottom
-Click CONFIRM

  • I'm not receiving e-mail on my "New" iPad, and I want tdeleted my yahoo mail account and reinstall it.  When I go to settings to delete the account, it says I will lose everything in notes, calendars, reminders, etc.  Can I delete ONLY the e-mail account?

    I'm not receiving e-mail on my iPad (3).  I want to try deleting my yahoo mail account and reinstalling it, but when I go to settings to do this, it appears that I will lose my notes, calendars, reminders, etc.  Is this right, or is there another way to do this?

    Give it time. Yahoo has had persistent issues the past few weeks. wait 24 hours or so and then try again.

  • Yahoo Mail Plus and Mail

    Hi,
    I just setup my yahoo mail plus with MAIL in my new macbook. When i open mail, it download the entire emails from yahoo mail's server... i dont want this because it take ages to download.
    how can i retrieve " new and unread" email only?
    hope someone reply soon. thanks!

    Since this is the first time that Mail has connected to Yahoo!, all email there is "new and unread", so it will download everything. The only way around that is for you to delete everything you've already read previously, then connect with Mail and download the remaining email.
    At the same time, you need to setup Mail to delete the messages from the Yahoo! servers immediately after it downloads them to Mail.

    would I be able to "upload" (not sure how else to say it) my existing folders and subfolders containing all my emails so that they are all available on my new IMAP service, while still being available on my Mac?
    Not easily, no. There's no direct transfer option between POP and IMAP, especially across email providers. The best you could do would be to forward all of your emails to your new address, although it's not clear that you need to - dropping your sbcglobal.net account doesn't instantly render all your existing mail void - it'll still be in your Mail client, you can still read it, search it, etc., it just won't be on your provider's server.
    I have toyed with the idea of getting a MobileMe account. Would that solve my issue/question above?
    MobileMe would be viable, especially if you're interested in synching your various iOS devices. It's not free, of course, unlike Yahoo and Gmail, although you've already discounted them...
    I have also toyed with purchasing my own URL, but it's hard to tell from the sites (1and1, Namecheap, etc.) if they come with IMAP email accounts included.
    Some registrars offer email hosting bundles with a domain registration. This could be a good way to go. GoDaddy, for example, have a email hosting option for domains you register with them.

  • When I download to print from Yahoo mail, I only get 1/2 a page - I have eliminated the printer as a problem

    When I download from Yahoo mail,  only 1/2 the page shows in preview and only 1/2 is printed.  I have eliminated a printer problem.  Any help appreciated.

    Open System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
    Click Open Print Queue
    Delete all files in the print queue.
    Quit and relaunch Safari and try printing the email.
    If that didn't help, empty the Safari cache.
    Command + Option + E then relaunch Safari and try again.

  • Push notifications disappear from Yahoo Mail

    I upgraded to IOS 4 a while back (still waiting to do 4.0.1, seems like some have real signal issues). After a while, I stopped getting push notifications from Yahoo mail.
    I confirmed all the settings were correct, everything is set to push. I also have an IMAP account which is not push, but it was living happily along side my yahoo mail account.
    I tried changing all settings to fetch, then back to push, and it still doesn't work. I tried rebooting the phone, that didn't work. A few days ago I deleted the yahoo mail account, and re-added it. Yay, I got push notifications back! But today, they're gone again
    One event that may be to blame is that I plugged it into an older JBL speaker/dock that the iphone says is not compatible (but happily works fine with). Do you think this can cause Yahoo mail push notifications to get screwed up? I hate to have to delete and re-add my yahoo mail account every few days. I'm going to test to see if the dock is the culprit tonight, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has these problems?
    -Steve

    I just got an iphone 3GS three weeks ago, and found out that I could receive my yahoo e-mails in real time thru my device via push option. Per recommendations of other blogs I deleted my account, changed my password and re-added it again in my iphone but no e-mails in real time yet!! I had the soft version 4.0.1, and now have the 4.0.2 version but remains the same, no e-mails reception in real time. Any help will be more than welcome. Cheers!

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and note need about five minutes to start.

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion, Mail, Safari and Note need about five minutes to start.
    After starting, Mail answers are very very slow. The same for Note. Instead of, sending mails is only a bit slower than before upgrading.
    In Safari, I choose Goggle as starting page in Preferences, but at every restart misses that starting page and the search strip says "Seek Google or instert an address".

    Well, I found the solution here in another thread.
    i just want to mention that the samw thing was happening also for the notes and the reminders apps!! (they quit unexpectedly!!).
    So I found the solution here.
    Thank you graphicsluc!!!

  • How do I unsubscribe from Adobe Creative Cloud and cancel my Adobe ID? I tried going to "Cancel my membership" on their site but it just takes me in a full circle and I end up back at "Cancel my membership" again.  Is this a ploy to not let go of potentia

    How do I unsubscribe from Adobe Creative Cloud and cancel my Adobe ID? I have tried numerous times going to "Cancel my membership" on their site but it just goes through several steps and ends up where I began (i.e. Cancel my membership). Why is it so difficult to unsubscribe? Thks for any advice. Lavandula

    Adobe contact information will not help You. The Finnish sites are making the same loop. The worst thing is that they have send me e-post telling that my membership will continue after first year automatically with 60 % higher price. I don't need do anything I will not continue the membership. It seems impossible to end it. The onlys solution seems to be close the credit card.

  • HT4236 I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. No dice. Help!

    I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. My photos on the devices get wiped out when I sync to iPhoto since I deleted all the albums. But when I sync to my hard drive (where I maintained the album structure) the photos are copied to my iPad but lose all the hierarchy and folder structure. Now I have to scroll through thousands of photos to try to find the one I'm looking for. Before I sync any more devices I want to know the following: 1) can I restore the album structure on my iPad by using the photo cache? 2) is there a way to sync both new iPhoto albums AND pictures in the folders in my hard drive? And 3) how can I keep the photo hierarchy structure from my hard drive intact on my devices?

    Don't do that.
    Copy /Photos/Photo library/ to the external.
    Hold Option and launch iPhoto.
    Select Choose library and select the Photo library you copied to the external.

  • Mac air start up,then pop-up yahoo mail screen, and ask me type password..how can i cancel it

    Mac air start up,then pop-up yahoo mail screen, and ask me type password..how can i cancel it

    Ok, finally I figure it out!!
    You need to give computer access to the password of Yahoo.com
    You go to the application "Key Chain" that is included in your MacBook Pro.
    Then you go to the first tab that should say something with "Login/Session" and you should see all your saved passwords.
    Scroll down to the saved password of  "Yahoo: your-username @ ...
    Click on it, you should see a window opening
    Go to the tab "Access Control"
    Then click on "Allow all applications to connect .. ", NOT the option "Ask every time for allowance" or you can also just add the program "MAIL" with the "+" icon !!
    There you go, now you should not have to worry again !!!!!!
    (this step copy form someone posted)
    Anyway can fixed it!!!!!
