Yahoo mail alert feature

I recently started using Mail and have linked a Yahoo/SBC mail account to it. Before doing this, Yahoo is our homepage, and on the Yahoo page, if we were logged in, a little alert would appear if you had new mail. Now, although Mail does leave the messages in our Yahoo account (don't ask, we want it to do that, we're happy about it) we no longer receive alerts on the Yahoo page that we have new mail. Is there any way to change this?
I know it doesn't make a lot of sense, as Mail alerts you when you have new mail, but this is the request of my friend and boss....

It sounds like your e-mail client is downloading your e-mail to your computer and not storing a copy in your SBC webmail which is why you would no longer see the new mail notification. You can configure your email client so that all messages received are stored on your computer and removed from the SBC Yahoo Mail servers. Once removed from the mail servers, messages are no longer available via Web Mail.

  • Yahoo Mail Alert on Mac Pro

    If my little iPhone can provide an alert to an incoming Yahoo Email, why can't my Mac Pro do the same thing?

    And this will work for either Mac Mail or Yahoo Mail ??

    if you open mac mail, and choose preferences and then "general" and select "new mail sound".
    from the drop down menu, you can select either the standard or via "add remove" you can select your own audio creation.
    On receipt of mail, your mac will then play the desired melody / tune.

  • Why can't I open Slideshow in Yahoo mail in Firefox 15.0.1 when it works fine if I use Safari? Mac OS X / v10.7.5

    For the last two days I've had a problem opening attached photos in the Yahoo Mail Slideshow feature. The screen goes to a grey layer as usual, but the photo never opens to view it. I don't think it's a Yahoo problem as the Slideshow works fine if I access my mail using Safari.
    Some older posts suggested clearing the cache of personal cookies, but I don't store any history on this computer so there is no cache to clear.

    Thank you.
    I've restarted Firefox in Safe Mode as suggested and when I open the Yahoo Mail slideshow it works fine. I guess that tells me there may be a corrupted file somewhere. I'm just not sure how to go about finding out how to correct it. When I try to switch to the 'Default Appearance Theme' it won't allow me to do it while in Safe Mode. Should I be trying this AFTER I get back out of 'Safe'?
    I don't keep any cache so I'm not sure how I can bypass it. I've tried reloading the mail inbox page by pressing "Command + Shift + R" but to no avail...
    This problem just came up in the last two days, so I went back one week in my Time Capsule backup to reload a copy of Firefox from a time when I wasn't having problems - still no luck. The photos won't open in the slideshow preview on Firefox unless I'm running in Safe Mode.
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions as to how to isolate the file or add-on that may be corrupted...

  • Theme 31.0 disabled my yahoo mail. OK with FF safe mode

    It seems very likely that theme 31.0 update caused my yahoo mail to malfunction. The mail page upload fine, however i can not open any mail on any folder. I can call (on the left bar) for any folder but again can not open any individual mail. few findings that i discovered:
    1. FF on safe mode: problem disapper
    2. When i go back to the yahoo basic mode, it works but many of the standard features are missing and i prefer to stay on the full featured version.
    3. no problem with Yahoo mail full feature when using explorer.
    4. no problem with mail on the ipad

    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

  • I cannot use Yahoo's IM feature from Fire Fox when logged into Yahoo Mail; why?

    I can, and do, log into Yahoo Mail to manage my e-mail while using Fire Fox as my browser, however, if while working within Yahoo Mail I decide to use Yahoo's instant messaging feature and click on one of my contacts who is online and available, the IM panel opens but, immediately a Bing search opens in the message area and blocks all further attempts to send an instant message to the person I wish to chat with. How can I overcome this problem?

  • I use Yahoo mail. It requires Java which I cannot activate. must thus use "Clasic" with important features missing.

    Because my Acer computer with Vista crashed twice, I changed from Thunderbird to Yahoo mail <[email protected]> (I live in Canada so why the "uk", I do not know). I upgraded Firefox to version 4. For the past week I am told that I must activate my Java and am told how to do this. I do what I am told, starting with the "Tools" menu - and then on from there. It does not work, I continue to receive the same message. To use Yahoo without Java I must apparently use the Classic Yahoo. This Classic program is very awkward and inconvenient.
    What, if anything, can I do please?

  • E-mail alert for sales managers.

    Dear all,
    We are using SAP CRM 6.0. I was configuring e-mail alert for the managers whenever a transaction is created in crm. The mail is delvering but iam not able to send the object id and transaction category. Please help.

    I have the same problem!
    I bought this phone specifically for this feature and I can't for the life of me get any alert for my Yahoo mail account.
    I've downloaded the Yahoo App from the Nokia store and have checked the "activate e-mail alerts" box and that doesn't work.
    I've logged into my Yahoo account and tried to connect it that way but there are no options to do so.
    I've followed the link on the Yahoo site where they have sent a link to me via text to sync it that way and no joy.
    Aaahhhh, its driving me crazy!!!!!
    Please help!!!!!!!

  • Yahoo Mail push problem with stock email app

    It is nice to see that Verizon is offering push services for yahoo mail (and possibly for others as well, I only tried yahoo) on select phones now, the Droid Charge being one of them. If you add a yahoo account in the stock email app, it configures it through "Verizon email gateway server" and the messages will be pushed to the phone just like gmail had been, and you will get your new messages almost instantaneously.
    I previously had an htc incredible and that phone did not have that feature. My e-mails were being checked at an interval that I could select, but not pushed.
    What this email gateway does is (as I understand it): 1) your phone sends your credentials to the gateway server where they are stored, 2) the server connects to yahoo mail servers with your credentials, and 3) whenever there is a new message, the gateway server retrieves and pushes it to your phone, in other words it pretty much acts as the middle man that has a notification capability. The gateway server only accesses your inbox folder and it only does incoming services. For other things such as sending messages or checking other folders, your phone connects to yahoo mail servers directly. My incredible on the other hand used to connect to yahoo mail servers directly for everything including inbox access and unfortunately those servers do not have the push capability to mobile devices.
    I got the Charge over two weeks ago and enjoyed push on yahoo for about ten days. But then suddenly it stopped working. It would no longer update my inbox even when I selected refresh through the menu. If I went into other folders, they would update and I could send emails. However, my inbox would not update. I waited a day, then I went into settings/apps/manage apps and deleted the cache and data of the mail application to fix a possible glitch. (It works on the market app when all of your downloaded apps disappear from the list every once in a while due to a glitch)
    I ended up with a blank inbox that couldn't download any of the messages. Then I removed the yahoo account and tried to readd. Now I get the "Fetching mailbox failed, retrying. . ." error and sometimes it retries for up to a half hour (until I manually stop it) or sometimes it says "Unable to connect to server" after a couple of minutes.
    Following is a list of things I tried:
    1) Set up a different Yahoo account:
    Works without a glitch, push enabled
    2) Try the original email account with wrong password:
    Gives a credential error, so password authentication is not the problem
    3) Manual configuration through selecting "Others" rather than "Yahoo Mail" in the add account menu:
    Unchecking "Use Verizon email gateway" makes it work, but without push. My phone is able to connect to Yahoo servers directly with the same exact settings
    I am pretty sure the problem is with the Verizon gateway server having a glitch with my email account. So someone in charge of that server has to go through the list of accounts set up and either reset or delete mine, so I can set it up again through my phone.
    I called Verizon support the other day and finally talked to a level 2 rep after having to do the restart, take battery out and all that nonsense. It took them a while to understand the actual situation. It's not their fault really, my problem is complicated and a level 2 rep simply does not have that kind of knowledge. They tried to connect me to Samsung representatives, which was a waste of time, because there is nothing wrong with the hardware as it works with a different yahoo account with no problems, and it also works when connecting to yahoo directly. After spending two and a half hours on the phone, and after the rep talked to her supervisor and the samsung reps to learn more about the verizon gateway server, she finally told me I was right about the issue, and assured me that they would fix it and call me within two hours.
    It has been two days, I haven't heard a thing.
    What frustrates me is that there wasn't a single person there who could even grasp what could be causing the issue. They had never heard about the email gateway, I had to explain to them. I am not mad that the level 2 rep or her supervisor didn't know, but I am pretty **bleep** that they could not put me in touch with a person who did.
    I know there is at least one person at Verizon who manages the gateway server, but the question is how can anyone contact him???
    Verizon keeps offering these new services that are really cool for the most part, but their support system is very disconnected from their engineers/technical staff. The customer service is unable to fix problems other than billing issues, and their answer for everything else is to "take the battery out and restart the phone".
    For now, I set up my account manually, without the Verizon email gateway, so I don't have "push" working. It's a shame because it is such an easy thing to fix only if I could get in touch with the right person.

    UPDATE:
    After waiting for about ten days, I tried setting up my e-mail the regular way (by selecting yahoo mail) again yesterday. To my surprise, it went through without a glitch. I guess the cache of the gateway server must have been reset.
    I have been enjoying push for yahoo mail for the last 24 hours again. But I just noticed now, that the problems might be starting again. There are recent e-mails that don't show up on my phone, but do through yahoo's web mail page. When I select "refresh" through the menu on the phone, I see the circle in the top corner spinning for as long as I wait, but the e-mails don't get downloaded. That is exactly how my problems had started in the first place. I will give it the benefit of the doubt and wait and hope that it fixes itself.
    There might be a compatibility problem with yahoo servers and the verizon email gateway because I have two gmail accounts set up with the stock e-mail the same way, both using verizon's gateway server for push, and they have both been working with no problems for almost a month. (Even though sometimes the "push" is delayed by up to 5-10 min, most of the time it is within a couple of minutes and that's fine, I'm not that picky) And when I do "refresh", ti only takes a few seconds to complete the request.
    And I still haven't heard anything from Verizon.

  • When I pin my Yahoo mail to an app tab, it does not open properly on next startup. Gmail works fine.

    I really like the app tab feature, and am using it for those sites that I keep open when I am on line (my blogs, my emails, my websites, my calendar). My yahoo mail refuses to open from the app tab after closing the browser and opening it again. I keep myself logged in at yahoo, just as I do for my gmail account. GMail works perfectly every time, opening my inbox right away. Generally, I have to open Yahoo mail in a new tab, unpin the old one, try to re-pin the new one . . . ad infinitum . . . You get the picture? It might be a Yahoo issue, meaning I have to log in from yahoo home every time if I want it as an app tab.

  • When I open a slde show in New Yahoo Mail I can't get back to Yahoo. When I click on the "back to Yahoo" button, the screen freezes with a gray cast over it and I have to use the back button and forward button to get back to my inbox.

    This problem started immediately after I upgraded to Firefox 9.0.1
    If I open my inbox in my New Yahoo Mail, then open an email with attachments and then open the attachments to "view as a slide show"....I can't close the slide show and return to the email by clicking on the "return to Yahoo" button. If you click on it, it returns to the first pic shown, and if you click on it again, the pics disappear and a gray haze appears over most of the screen but none of the features under the gray screen work. I have found that if I hit the back page and then forward page buttons, I can get back to my inbox eventually, but this is a terrible "pain in the ass"!
