Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari.

Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari, cache and also changed my Yahoo password but problem is still there.

I still don't understand what the problem that you are experiencing is. If you get to a page where yahoo is asking JUST for your password, and there is no box for username (it may have your username displayed, but not in a enter box), then you ARE "being kept signed in" You can verify this by instead of entering your password, go to www.yahoo.com home page, and it will say something like "Hi, Amber" This means you ARE signed in.
When you get that page asking for just your password, you are NOT being asked to sign in again. You are simply being asked to verify/enter your assword an Nth time. If you get that page right after entering your username and password, try clicking the "back" (previous page) button. It might just go to your inbox.
If this is the case, your problem has nothing to do with being kept signed in or not, the problem is that for some (unknown to me) reason, yahoo is asking you to re-enter your password, kind of like when your mac asks for your mac password when changing system settings. Yahoo does this as a safety feature when you go to account settings, and apparently abritary other times. I wish I understood just why I get it every time after signing in.
It could be because I have java turned off. It could be because I don't accept third party cookies. Maybe a cache file. Or a hundred other things... I don't know. It could simply be yahoo is scrooing safari users. I have glanced at the html, but to really understand it, it would take me days. There are over 25 places where username and password are in the html "source" code of the yahoo login page, and even understanding that may not tell me. In the past, I have seen code essentiall saying "if IE x.3.2" do this, if chrome do that, if mozilla do something else, otherwise make it next to impossible...."
My problem is not only I get asked for my assword a second time, but also (and only very recently) I do not get a prompt to save username and pasword. I have gone to yahoo help pages to try to figure it out, and I feel like I just run in circles. If one wants to send a question in, they have to answer half a dozen questions disclosing private information. And I pay yahoo $20/year. grrr
If when you are trying to access your yahoo mail and you are being asked to enter both your username and password, but didn't sign out of yahoo, then indeed your are not being "kept signed in"

Yahoo mail contacts won't load on Firefox 3.6

I am using FF 3.6 on XP. Yahoo mail contacts won't load so I can't access my contacts list for emails, etc.
I am able to successfully open Yahoo mail and view my contacts in IE 7. The contacts tab opens and I can access addresses for email etc.
What's up w/ that?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

Safari, Software Update and Mail apps won't connect

Safari, Software Update and Mail apps won't connect to the Internet. Software Update fails with a suggestion of running Network Diagnostic. Network diagnostic says everything is fine. Firefox connects without any problems. Any ideas. This is my work computer and I need it to work.

Fixed it myself. Under network settings "Auto Proxy Discovery" was enabled. When I turned this off everything started working again. Not sure how this was enabled in the first place.

TS3899 Is there a reason for Yahoo mail to keep saying connection to server failed

Is there a reason why my Ipad keeps saying the connection to the server failed using my mail app but
i can gain entry to my account using Google then Yahoo mail.

Other than yahoo being a general pain in the behind?
It's been buggy at best for quite a while now. I have noticed that it doesn't like some connections, for example my mail simply will not download if I'm on certain AT&T hotspots via the mail app, but works just fine if I access it via safari.
I also had periods of time just this AM when my PC wouldn't even access my mail. IMHO, Yahoo has upgraded their mail to nice pretty barely function.
If it persists too long you can try to uninstall/reinstall your mail account in the mail app (Under settings, mail, contacts and calendar). Or it may simply be your connection or hotspot and it will resolve once you use a different connection.
I believe yahoo mail also has an app but I have no experience with how well it may/may not work

Yahoo mail messenger won't work in FF, but will in IE. What gives?

'''bold text''" Okay so what is the deal? I have Yahoo mail messenger working fine on FF one week, the next it won't even show me my received messages? Now it's working fine on IE but I hate using IE and would prefer to use that for one site only. Why isn't not compatible anymore with FF? I've already changed settings on Yahoo so it's not them. Please help?

I posted this problem a couple of days ago. I have 50 or more groups, some with several hundreds of names & these groups no longer import. I have gone to apple genius bar & they are clueless. Apparently apple opted to make maverick work for gmail but now it won't work for mac mail.

Default Mail app not working with yahoo mail. Won't update.

Default Maill app not working with Yahoo Mail.
It stopped working the other day. I tried everything but it wouldn't update new mail. The yahoo account itself is fine because I can see new mail on Yahoo or a yahoo app.
I tried deleting the account and putting it back on, but now it has 0 mail in any part of it. Nothing has synced.
What do I do?
iPad 2 latest OS.

A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
On the iPhone, tap Settings.
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
Tap Add Account.
Tap Other.
Tap Add Mail Account.
Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
Click Next.
Ensure IMAP is selected.
Enter the following incoming mail server information:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL: Yes
Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail.
Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465 or 587
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires authentication: Yes
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
Tap Next.
The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
That’s all!

HT1277 can receive bat can't send yahoo mail massage could not connect to smtp what to do?

See OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages for details. on troubleshooting mail.
Your SMTP server settings are incorrect. Mail has two connections, a receive path from your mail server to your mail client, and a send path from your mail client to the mail server. The send path uses SMTP to communicate with the server.
Apple Mail.app has separate settings for the receive and send paths; each has its own server, username, password, port and SSL settings. Your send path settings are likely incorrect.
To determine the proper settings, check with Yahoo for the SMTP server settings for your account (usually a web search, but I don't know the details of how Yahoo sets up their accounts by default nor whether that varies by account), and verify that your settings match — the send-path settings are available via the accounts settings; Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the account > Account Information > and switch the Select SMTP Server setting to Edit SMTP Server List... > select your Yahoo SMTP server, and set the account details per Yahoo requirements.

The new Firefox has removed my Yahoo mail and other settings. Why? How do I get them back? It gives me a screen that says go "here" but nothing happens.

Before the latest update, I used Firefox almost exclusively. Now that the new version has removed, or hidden, my entire Yahoo settings and pages, I can't use Firefox at all.

hello, how to restart firefox into safemode is described in the link i've provided in my prior answer.
other users also had problems with yahoo mail when they were using the ghostery addon - do you have it installed too by any chance? if so, add an exception for yahoo mail: click on the ghostery icon while you're in yahoo's webmail, choose "edit blocking options" & then don't block on this domain...

When I select Bookmarks it defaults to Yahoo Mail sign in...why?

I have no bookmarks nor can I save any as long a Bookmark Icon defaults to Yahoo Mail signin

Do you have the Yahoo! toolbar? I think Yahoo! has or had its own bookmark service and perhaps that has taken over Firefox's native bookmark feature somehow. You could check here for the add-on, try the Options dialog, or completely disable/remove it if necessary.
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Any luck?

Thurs 24 Aug Firefox update notes various Java files no longer viable: I have coincidently lost all reference to categories in contacts lists of BT/Yahoo mail - is there a connection?

I run Windows XP on desktop pc. Have not installed any other software since last using categories in BT/Yahoo Mail and have not changed any of its settings.

Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?

WiFi won't connect why?

I have moved my computer and would like to connect wirelessly. Why isn't my password accepted?

Oh, I thought it was a computer running Snow Leopard, since that's the forum you're in and you're showing 10.6.7. Any computer capable of running Snow would be able to use WPA2.
That computer is from 2002. I don't think WPA2, maybe even not WPA, had been dreamed up then.
If you're conscious of security and don't want to be hacked, unless you live a decent distance from the nearest neigbor, then you should realize that WEP can be cracked in minutes and offers little to no protection.
If possible, you will be better off keeping it on Ethernet, which will also be much faster than the Airport on that machine.
EDIT: or keep the new one for wireless and use the old one on Ethernet. That's what I do. I have an old G3 on Ethernet in one room and the new iMac on WIFI further away.

I can't set up yahoo mail, it says theres connection error occurring

When I try to hook up yahoo it gives me an error message about the connection error occuring. I could set up gmail though.

HI ...
Login to your Yahoo account on your computer to make sure the password is correct.
Does the password or Yahoo! ID have any special characters? Mobile devices can experience compatibility limits with passwords that contain special characters. If your password contains any special characters you can always log on to a computer and change your Yahoo password so to something that's more compatible.
