Yahoo Mail delete function freezes

When checking off Yahoo Mail for delete (10 to 20). Clicking delete, will most of the time do the delete. When a large amount of e mails are checked for delete, 30 or so, clicking delete will fade the selected e mails but nothing more happens. Only solution I have found, exit Firefox, re-enter the Firefox Browser, recheck the same e mail and try delete again. Usually works the second time. I do not have the time to check e mail twice for delete as there are over 1,000 per day. Windows 8.1.
This function works without any problem in Chrome, which I now use to read Yahoo Mail.

Hi,
Bit of a guess here but the new Yahoo mail had lots of performance issues.
Have you tried this already http://www.techtip.org/how-to-switch-back-to-yahoo-classic-mail/

  • Yahoo mail new emails freeze with v13.0.1

    Since yesterdays (6/20/12) Firefox update to v 13.0.1 I haven't been able to write a new email using Yahoo mail. Symptoms are:
    -The autocomplete feature for addresses doesn't work
    -It takes a long time ~ 3 minutes with the message "loading attachment updater" for the applet that attaches files to emails to load.
    - And then Firefox freezes and I have to use the Apple "force quit" feature to exit Firefox.
    Yahoo mails works fine if I use Safari.

  • Yahoo Mail Deleted

    I have finally made the move from a PC to my first Mac and I was setting up the mail application to link with Yahoo Mail. I entered all the login details and it seemed to be taking a long time to configure, being used to a PC I assumed it had hanged so I cancelled it and tried to configure it again the following day. Which it did successfully, however I seem to have lost my entire in-box. When I access yahoo mail through the web it only shows mail from the last couple of days. I have since gone into 'Mail' and changed the setting to 'leave a copy on the server', however how do I retrieve the mail that got deleted?
    I have contacted Yahoo mail but I am not hopeful as it does not even show in the trash bin.
    Any advice gratefully received.
    Thanks

    Thanks. Unfortunately the mails seem to have got lost between my configuring the account in Mail and then pressing cancel because I thought it had hung. So the mails got deleted off of the Yahoo server but never made it to Mail. Would they be stored in a temp folder somewhere? I have contacted Yahoo but nothing so far. The Mail account is now working fine for sending and receiving, its just that I now have nothing pre 2 jan!!!!!

  • I keep getting a script error on yahoo mail. the page freezes up and loads and loads.

    I can sign into Yahoo okay. It happens when I try to sign out
    the page won't let me sign out. So I minimize the page and
    tried to delete the cookies and cache. It hangs on forever deleting
    history. And I get a script error message.

    Moving this discussion to the Using Flash Player forum.

    Obvious solution - Change the cookie setting. Which I have done... however I think it's worth asking about.

    I have the same problem, but I found a way around it. Before opening mail.yahoo.com in a tab, to to Tools -> Options. Under the Privacy tab, click the "Exceptions" button. Type in "login.yahoo.com" and click the "Allow" or "Allow for session" button. Do the same for "login.mail.yahoo.com". It's not a fix, but it will get you back into your mail!

  • I can log into my yahoo home page using Firefox. I can't link from my yahoo page to yahoo mail using Firefox. Help!

    I get a failure message saying: “The requested URL /mc/welcome was not found on this server. Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny9 with Suhosin-Patch Server at us.mc1120.mail.yahoo.com Port 80″ I have deleted all cookies, flushed my DNS and temp files. Problem persists... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 3.6 and then upgraded to Firefox 4. Firefox appears to function okay in all my other browsing use. If I use IE as a browser The yahoo mail link functions correctly. I suspect that Firefox or an add-on that I don’t see listed under tools/ add-ons may be rejecting the URL “redirect” as a Phishing .attempt??? This has been going on for 2 weeks several attempts a day. Don’t just say the server is busy , try later because Firefox fails, IE works as well as the IE Tab for Firefox problem revolves around Firefox and yahoo email. I have run Norton and Spy sweeper too no problems. When I enable the Google toolbar I will get a similar error "Oops! This link appears broken." Any Help GREATLY appreciated!

    "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    "Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file ''cookies.sqlite'' that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    You can rename (or delete) '''cookies.sqlite''' (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete '''cookies.sqlite-journal''' and '''cookies.txt''', if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

  • TS3899 My yahoo mail account fre

    My yahoo mail account keeps freezing up on me when I attempt to upload my messages.  This just recently started to happen. How to I fix this?

    You can try going into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and delete the account, then re-add it.
    But it may just be something you wait out. Yahoo has been buggy at best for the past several months.

  • My new yahoo mail has no control buttons ie compose, delete, move and so on, no functions at all. I loaded the latest firefox version, but no change. I have all buttons and controls in Internet Explorer.??? please help, I want to continue with Firefox

    The yahoo mail page listing my email headers load OK, but no email buttons show and the links showing do nothing. Can't open , read, reply or forward or compose new. nothing works on the page.

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • Why does my Yahoo Mail consistently "stall" or "freeze" when I check my email using Firefox.

    I press a button (such as "send" or "delete"), and nothing happens. No error message. Nothing. Occasionally if I wait long enough, the program responds. Doesn't seem to be a problem on other browsers.

    Yahoo Mail freezes Safari on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.7.2) and I have been force reloading pages to free it up again. Now that doesn't seem to work either. This evening I about given up on using Safari with Yahoo altogether. I don't why this has to be - I've been using Yahoo Mail on my Macs since 2001 and never had trouble. For now, I'll be using Firefox for my email but I'd sure like to go back to using Safari.

  • Firefox freezes in yahoo mail

    Using Firefox 3.6.10/ Whether I am using my windows xp laptop or windows xp desktop, I have this problem.
    After I compose a new message, in either of my 4 yahoo accts, and click SEND, it does not go to the page that says 'your message has been sent' like it should. The page stays the same but the "sent" button is greyed out.
    Note that I have to refresh the page to be able to go to my SENT folder or anywhere else in Yahoo mail after that. And it does show that the message was sent.
    I use the Webmail notifier add on. Luv that program. Dont know if this is what is causing the 'freezing' in my Yahoo mail & on both pc's.
    I read in another thread to delete a pluggin "npYState.dll" from yahoo in my program files. This fixed the issue for one day only.
    So I am still having issues.
    Anything else I can try/ Thanx in advance

    The issue is there are a host of compromised certificates and Apple hasn't bothered to update their browser or operating system.
    Of course Microsoft, Google and Mozilla all updated theirs, but Apple is dragging their behinds.
    The best thing one can do at this point is use another web browser and make sure it's updated and check the plug-in versions as well
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    If your using Safari, the above plug-in check isn't as accurate on flash, use this one to check

    cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

    Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
    Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password.  On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
    See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
    Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

  • Why is it that when I go to Yahoo mail, I can't delete any messages or move to the next page? Stays stuck on page 1..

    Lately, when I log on to my yahoo mail while using firefox, it no longer shows the DELETE option at the top of the email page. So, I cannot delete any emails that I might wish to delete. Also, I cannot get past the first page of my emails. Every time I click on the NEXT PAGE button, it does not move from page 1. This does not happen when I log onto yahoo mail using Internet Explorer. Please advise as to what I can do to correct this. Could it be that I'm not using the latest version of Firefox? I don't know...

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • 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.

  • Mozilla quits when I login to Yahoo Mail. I read on a forum that I need to delete npYstate.dll from Yahoo/Shared directory. This .dll is not available in that folder on my system. Strange???

    I read in one of the forums that I need to delete the npYstate.dll file from the Yahoo/Shared directory but this file is not available in this directory on my system. Mozilla still continues to quit when I log in to Yahoo mail.......
    == URL of affected sites ==

    Yup, it just copies all the information on that page to your Windows clipboard, for you to paste anywhere (email, text file, etc.).
