Yahoo mail sometimes not opening

I didn't put all info in last inquiry... I have iMac, purchased 2-6-08 with Snow Leopard ver 10.6.8. I'm having trouble with Yahoo and accessing my email.
First Yahoo loads slow. Second, when I enter mail, it sometimes loads a blank page. Sometimes it shows mail I can't open. After a couple of restarting Sarfari, and hitting mail it works.... Yahoo is also taking longer to open websites.I know yahoo had upgraded fomat (my yahoo). I never had this email problem before... We also use msn.com, no problem with msn, just problem with yahoo. Any suggestions for fix? Is there a yahool upgrade? I have yahoo for Snow Leopard.

Soooo, it's surely not really free... People paid hundreds of dollars for the device, and Yahoo mail integration was pitched from the get-go.
Many, myself included, also pay Yahoo for their Plus email service.
Let's not forget that Apple are also receiving a monthly cut of our AT&T bills. I would assume there's something somewhere in the overall arrangement for Yahoo (it's business, right?). This "free" feature must be being funded at some level.
Even if it were free, I don't think it's reasonable for Apple to create an integrated feature user experience where "sent" email is silently lost in the ether. What happened to "It Just Works?...
Network and email protocols are there to ensure this type of issue doesn't occur silently, assuming they're used as intended. Clearly someone's dropping the ball.

I am getting a 404 Not Found error when I try to access Yahoo Mail from Firefox. I can log in but Yahoo Mail will not open. It will open in IE. The problem is here at home.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

Yahoo mail will not open via safari

I can access my yahoo email on my desktop MAC but when open yahoo on my IPAD, it logs in, shows mail and prompts me to tap on email to open. Whne I tap on email, it begins to process and continues to try but never opens. Seems to be in a perpetual loop.

Hello,
In Mail>Preferences>General, is Mail set as the Default Mail App? Is it your current version of Mail set?

Yahoo mail starts to open an email (I can see the content) but then a message comes up saying "Whoops! The page could not be found. Try giving it another chanc"

When i am in Yahoo mail and am opening on an email to open, the email starts to open (I can see the content of the email for a second) and then I get a screen with a message that states 'Whoops! The page could not be found. Try giving it another chance below'. But the email had been there so I don't understand that is happening. This just stated happening about a week or two ago. There is a search bar in the center of the screen and at the bottom of the error page is the following.

Yahoo mail in FF is slow to load (if it loads at all) and the e-mails do not open when you click on them. I do not have this problem in Chrome or IE

When I click on Yahoo in FF, the page is slow to load. When it does, the e-mail is even slower to load. When it does load and I click on an e-mail, the e-mail does not open. Any suggestions? If I delete FF and reinstall it, will I lose all the information in FF (e.g. Book marks or preferences)? Thanks in advance for your help.

HI afirst,
Just in case [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]], but before that you can clear the cache for a specific site in the about:permissions page.
Select Yahoo mail on this page and forget the site. This will remove cookies and active logins for mail. Please then restart Firefox and relogin to Yahoo mail.
If there are any other questions, happy to help.

Yahoo! e-mails will not open?

A certain number of e-mails will not open in my Yahoo! Mail inbox using Mozilla Firefox. The page says done, and there's nothing there except a blank white screen. If I put the e-mail in trash and then try to open it, it usually works. This is very strange? I am a new Mozilla user and never experienced this with IE. I was guessing that maybe it's a firewall issue or similar, but would then guess it would have happened with IE?

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''

''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

What do you mean your Yahoo mail isn;t working? If you are talking about it not working in the mail app, remove your account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and add it again. Then follow the instructions here to recover your Apple ID password.

2009 MacBook Pro eh? It looks like your hard drive has failed. Three years is pretty standard. Often, then only hint you have is catastrophic failure.
If you put the old hard drive into an external enclosure or similar device, you may still be able to migrate your data from it. Just because it won't boot doesn't mean you can't still read from it. Still, I wouldn't keep trying it. As long as you are buying a new hard drive, may as well get sometime to use with Time Machine too.

Downloaded Firefox 4.0, get server error 404 & can't access Yahoo mail. It opens with Explorer & on desktop with Mozilla 3

Downloaded Firefox 4.0, to Dell Lat D630 on 4/9/11
Get server error 404 & can't access Yahoo mail.
It opens with Explorer & on networked desktop with Mozilla 3.6
tried all fixes suggested by Support @ Customer Service
No resolution to the access problem today 4/21/11. Do I reinstall 3.6 & delete 4.0? I understand this access problem is common to 4.0 users.

I did some additional testing through Proxy 4. All web sites and web pages including secure sites that I tried accessing over the past couple of days all appear to work fine with the exception of the forementioned sites. Access to these specific web pages (which I cannot currently access) are part of our day-to-day business requirements, and therefore will prevent me from using Proxy version 4.0 as our production proxy unless I can figure out why these web pages won't load, and how to fix the problem.
As an experiment, I tried to access these web pages through Proxy 4 with Mozilla FireFox and Netscape 7. None of these web browsers (including Internet Explorer) will bring up these web pages when going through Proxy 4. But bypassing the proxy or going through our v3.6 proxy works fine for these web pages everytime, and with all browsers. This leads me to believe that this web page access problem is not a browser specific problem, but something in Proxy 4 isn't processing the request to display the page properly.
As a reference, the web site in question is http://www.sunlife.ca. On the left hand side of the page go to "Sign In" then "Plan Members". Thats where the request hangs through Proxy 4 no matter which browser I use, including Netscape... but works perfectly fine with Proxy v3.6.
Can someone who is running a version 4 Proxy also please try to access the SunLife Members login page and see if it works or fails for you?
Thanks

As for holding your breath, it will take about 10 minutes before the connection to your yahoo mailbox engages.
Make it so!

HT1338 Mail does not open after software update?

My MacBook just updated with OSX 10.6.8 buildK549. Now my Mail does not open. I get a message that the mail version 4.5 1084/1065 is not compatible with the OSX. There was a new mail icon in the apps file but it did not open. Any suggestions?
How do I reinsatll Mail?
Thanks

It's giving you that message because the update changed Mail from version 4.5 to 4.6 and it's seeing the 4.5. The part of the update that was meant for Mail failed because it couldn't find Mail where it was looking for it.

I just downloaded Lion and when it opened mail for the first time, I received an error that there was something corrupted in mail. I was directed by Apple to close Mail and re-open it. I did, but now Mail will not open at all. What do I need to do to c

I am having issues with Mail after downloading and installing Lion. Snow Leopard prior. There was a message that there was some sort of corruption in Mail and that I should close Mail and re-open Mail. I did, but Mail will not open at all.

Mail will not open from dock and wont allow me to shut down, Help?

My mail will not open from the dock and if I try and close my computer it is prevented by the application mail being open. Help please.

You can try to Force Quit the Mail application by using the keys OPTION COMMAND ESC, from the window that pops up select Mail and clcik force quit.
Have you tried launching Mail from your Applications folder? It launches properly, drag the icon off the dock, it should vanish in a puff of smoke, you can then go to the Applcations folder and drag the Mail icon back to the dock to create a new shortcut.

Hello:
You need to contact "epost." The issue is not an Apple issue....the epost software needs, I assume, to be updated.
