Yahoo email upgrades from classic - or is it spam?

I have received emails purporting to come from SKY - but I'm suspicious. The email is aski8ng me to upgrade to the new  email version from Classic. Is it spam?

I received an identical email today as below: "Hello My email address)The Classic version of your layout will be replaced by our new version on 26th JUNE 2015. So it's time to upgrade, before you lose your email access.
When you upgrade your E-mail
Your service won't be affected and you'll keep all your old contacts, folders and messages. Plus you'll get:Faster E-mailThe latest spam protectionUnlimited E-mail storageHow you can upgrade your account
sky.com/en-GB/update/layout/ (It gave this link but with http etc at the beginning)
 Thanks for choosing us" Scam and Phishing emails that infect your computers wil often fail to address you by name and use the term Hello as this one does. It is also worth clicking on reply so that you can see who has sent the email. In this case it was shown as coming from [email protected] I also contacted SKY who confirmed that they had not sent me any emails today. I have marked it on my SKY webmail as spam so that if I receive another one then it will go straight into my Spam folder. Please be wary of these scammers.

  • Cannot upgrade FROM Classic Mail

    I have 6 email accounts in my home.  All but 1 have been upgraded to the newer versions of mail but I have one that I cannot upgrade.   It still has Classic Mail.    When attempting to upgrade from Classic mail screens, it tells me it is not ready for me yet.  Talked to Verizon Tech lat year to no avail.     Would hate to close that email and open a new one but that may be the only option.  Anyone with the same issue or thoughts?   Thanks

    I have had no issues going from 9.2.0.7 to 10.2.0.3 three weeks ago in our staging environment, since then I have not seen any problem.

  • 6000+ yahoo emails deleted from my itouch

    i was deleting a yahoo email from my itouch, then i noticed that the screen blanked out. i got worried, so i checked my trash right away & there was nothing in there. i then went online to check my mails and all my inbox emails are also gone.
    everyone knows that only 200 recent messages are the max that can be downloaded on the itouch. if they were deleted, then they should have shown up in the trash area, but no. and if they were completely deleted, only 200 should have been the only ones that were deleted, but no. why were my 6000+ messages deleted?
    =i just upgraded to the new software 4.0 version last week of june.
    =i've been using my itouch since 09/08 & so far haven't noticed unusual with using its mail app
    =i have other email accts in it & no problem also
    is there anyone here who has experienced this? any solution? could it be the new software? could it be a bug?

    The problem is you need to delete from the server, not for the inbox only.
    BlackBerry works pushing all the mail in your mail server to the device, so if you delete the mail in inbox, but the mail is in the server is going to your device.

  • I have been into my yahoo email on my iphone 4 and in spam inbox i received email from company posing as "Nacha"

    I have just recently been into my yahoo on my iphone 4 and in my spam inbox there was a email from a company posing as "Nacha".It stated a transaction i recently had done has been cancelled.There was a link to click on.I do receive alot of spam emails some that i reconise and i am nieve and think spam emails like this wont come to me and i do alot of transactions online.I did click on the link! It took me to a blank white page on in top left hand corner did say the page cannot be found and there was no info asking me to put in any details i automatically deleted the email,I am now worried that because i have clicked on the link could my iphone now be compromised and if i even go onto my ebay app for example and put in my passwords could all my passwords and personal data now be leaked?? Im really worried as i do want to use my iphone for online transactions but dont know wether im safe now! I have rung my mobile provided and they said that its more than likely everything will be ok as i did click on the link but entered no details and it was a blank page but i have read on google that there can be fake blank pages and that scams can secretly collect data just by a click of a link!!!
    could anybody help really worried

    I wouldn't worry.  Assuming you haven't hacked the phone you cannot have installed any viruses or spyware just by clicking a link in an email.  Sounds like the page you accessed could not be read on the phone anyway, or it was just a dead link.

  • How can I turn OFF my Yahoo email password from Firefox memory. since it was hacked last week.

    Some time ago I let Firefox remember my Yahoo email username and password. Last week someone hacked into my Yahoo email account and used my email address list to send out lots of yucky spam to them. I have changed my Yahoo password, but now, just for safety's sake, I want to have that password blank whenever I sign in. How do I toggle the Firefox memory OFF so that it doesn't remember my new Yahoo name and password? I would prefer to log that name and password in myself from now on.

    I'm back on Firefox 13.01 and the webmail and Yahoo Home page appear to be sorted.
    From another similar problem, I learned that going into Tool/Options - Network Settings, and changing the proxy setting from AutoDetect Proxy to Use System Proxy, or No Proxy gets rid of the password pop-up problem.
    I've been using 13.01 for the last 10 minutes or so, with Yahoo as my home page, and I've ended and started FF five or six times, and each time, my it went straight to my homepage without requesting a password. E-mail looks to be working fine as well.

  • Lost emails upgrading from tiger to leopard

    I lost emails (although mailbox folders are still there, just empty) after upgrading from tiger to leopard. Please help?!

    I followed these instructions the last couple of times this happened to me. It works so well that I've made a text file with these instructions:
    I got it to work by deleting all the values in the defaults database associated with Mail and the Junk rules. In my case I did the following:
    Remove the Envelope Index file (~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index) from your user account.
    Launch Terminal.
    Copy/Paste this list into the Terminal window.
    defaults remove com.apple.mail JunkMailBehaviorHasBeenConfigured
    defaults remove com.apple.mail JunkMailHeaderFlags
    defaults remove com.apple.mail JunkMailInfoPanelHasBeenShown
    defaults remove com.apple.mail JunkViewerAttributes
    defaults remove com.apple.mail LastTimeJunkWasVisited
    defaults remove com.apple.mail NumberOfMessagesMarkedAsJunk
    defaults remove com.apple.mail NumberOfMessagesMarkedAsNotJunk
    defaults remove com.apple.mail UseJunkMailHeaderFlags
    Watch the rapid execution of the text commands in the Terminal window.
    Quit Terminal.
    Launch Mail.
    Follow the onscreen guides to import your mail and watch the mail database restore itself.
    All mailboxes, drafts, etc., should be quickly restored. Mail launches and quits correctly.
    You will need to start updating the Junk filter in Leopard from scratch as new junk mail shows up.

  • My Yahoo email sent from my iphone to myself shows up in spam folder

    i wanted to send myself an email from my iphone, waited for an hour, but got nothing. after logging into my Yahoo Email account on my pc i found all my emails in my spam folder from myself.
    Why am i spam? Will i be spam to anyone i reply or send mail to? This only happens from iphone, is there a way around this?

    hello,
    Just an FYI update on my post re: after update to version 2.0.2
    my computer no longer sees my iPhone as if it were an external
    HD as it had before update using version 1.1.4. Shortly after posting
    this problem, I logged into my usual user acct, not the user name specified
    with iTunes user acct, and although I had chosen the option of making
    iTunes the default music player for iPhone acct, I hadn't indicated
    the iTunes default with my usual surfing user acct. Anyway, just after
    I posted and logged out of that acct and logged into my usual one
    a dialog box opened unsolicited and asked if I wanted to make iTunes
    the default for usual acct name. I said no thanks, and now on that user
    acct I am able to copy photos from iPhone without sync process as if
    the iPhone was an external HD as I could before. Now before I sync
    Photos back into the iPhone using the iTunes user acct, i select
    the photos I want and put them into the specific folders I have set
    up inside the iPhone photos folder and tah da, the folders will have
    The pics I want back on the iPhone in addition to the Camera Roll
    folder. Still wish I could figure out why the orientation of pics sometimes
    requires editing for correction. Knowing how to use a screen shot to
    repair orientation has helped alot though. To be continued.

    How do I transfer my Yahoo email from Internet Explorer to my new browser, Firefox, including all sent messages and contacts, etc., [email protected]
    == I applied to Mozilla Firefox to be my browser

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    If you can sign in to your BIS web account, you can resend your service books. Here are the instructions:

    Do that and your email accounts should return.
    If you are using the same credentials on the device and on-line, then it is likely that you are just missing some key in the device interface...it's really easy to get wrong. But I tend to only use the web interface anyway...so much easier with a full keyboard!

  • Upgrade from "Classic" Broadband to "More Broadban...

    Hi
    First post here
    I am currently on the origianl Classic Broadband package and wish to upgrade to More Broadband Evening & Weekend to save a few pounds each month.
    As I run a business from home I can't afford any break in service or drop in the quality of a phone call
    Can I keep my existing router & phone, and not install a new router/hub or phone?
    Is there any break in service?
    Does the quality of voice calls remain the same?
    Do BT just flick a switch their end and everything stays the same for me, but at a lower monthly rate?
    BT customer service tell me that I can keep my existing equipmement/no break in service/calls remai the same quality but I would like some reassurance.
    Thanks in advance
    Trev

  • Yahoo emails deleting from Iphone4

    Hi
    I have my yahoo account set up to my iphone 4.  I move mail I want to save into a different folder but every now and then it just automatically deletes the mail and I cannot get it back.  I cant seem to stop it either and they delete right in front of me.  They also delete from the yahoo account online.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Instead of setting it through Hotmail, goto "other" and add your account through there.
    By doing so the advanced tab appears. However there's a trade-off; when you go through it this way you will no longer be able to sync your calendar reminders & contacts.

  • HT1668 How do I stop the exchange and or yahoo email accounts from keeping email address for future use.

    How do I clear out the email address' that are automatically saved and re appear when addressing a new email? 
    This is unique to my phone and does not happen on either of the email accounts when using a computer.

    Yes, it will be just as it was new out of the box.  You would need to import your photos (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or Google, or using an app like My Contacts Backup) if you want to save them.  Your music should be in your iTunes library, along with other iTunes content (apps, movies, podcasts, etc.) and can be synced back to your phone.  You would lose your text messages, and would have to set up your email accounts again.

  • Firefox changed one pf my two email accounts to a Yahoo upgrade from my preferred Classic Yahoo

    i have two Yahoo email accounts: business & personal. I installed both in Yahoo Original. This morning when I logged onto my business account, it had been upgraded to the new Yahoo, which I don't care for.

    You have (1). no choice in accepting or declining the upgrade to the new e-mail and (2). you can not change back to their classic e-mail format. I received 3 notices via e-mail on my account (5/8/13 initial notice, 5/15/13 reminder notice, 6/5/13 final notice) all with a link in the e-mails to this page - http://www.att.com/latestmail which lands you on this page - http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB419290&cv=804
    Applies to your Yahoo account as well.
