Yahoo sky mail displaying strange interface

I am viewing yahoo mail via Sky, on my iPad and the user interface/ display has changed completely just now for no apparent reason. I don't know how to do a screen shot on my iPad to show what it looks like but it's very basic, with tabs for inbox etc at the top, rather than on the left side, it's also huge size font but not responding to attempts to squash it smaller.Any ideas how to restore it to how it was before? 

Try clearing the cache by following the guide here,
Select "Browsing History" then go back to do "Cookies and Data",

  • Mail displaying strange characters

    Hello
    I was previously using Thunderbird, but when I saw how nice Mail is, I switched over. Now I am starting to rethink, because it's displaying some very strange characters without reason. What could be the cause of this? Here is a screenshot (I blurred out people's names): <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/davidjohn/miscellaneous/Picture2.pn g" border="0"</a>
    MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    You're very welcome.
    That's a very common problem
    Glad you're all sorted now.

  • Apple mail has stopped downloading my e-mails from Yahoo sky mail

    My Sky e-mails have stopped downloading through Apple mail on my macbook and my iphone 5 but I have another address that still works (also through Yahoo!!).  The mail download bar starts up but then doesn't download anything.  I can send e-mails from Sky account through Apple Mail but the e-mail doesn't show up in the sent folder.  I've tried deleting and reinstalling the account but this has done nothing.

    When I go into the mail account, it tells me that I have a messages total and an amount unread - the 'load more messages' text but won't do anything else

  • For the 1st time I am trying to send an iPhoto by email but get an error message "combinations of username and password not recognised" I use the same details to log on to my Sky Mail (yahoo mail ) account . Any ideas?

    For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised  by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?

    I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

  • My iPhone has suddenly started sending emails in Courier New (rather than the standard Arial).  They appear in Arial when I compose them, but turn to Courier new in the sent folder and when displayed to the recipient.  I use Yahoo Mobile Mail.  Help!

    My iPhone has suddenly started sending emails in Courier New (rather than the standard Arial).  They appear in Arial when I compose them, but turn to Courier new in the sent folder and when displayed to the recipient.  I use Yahoo Mobile Mail.  Help!  How can I change the settings so that the sent emails go back to Arial?  Thank you!

    I'm not sure if it's a Yahoo Mobile mail or an iphone issue... have asked the Yahoo forum but no replies yet...  Any help appreciated!

  • HT5648 OS10.6.8 Firefox 24.0  The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics.  However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome.  I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript.  Help me, please.

    OS10.6.8, Firefox 24.0 
    The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics using Firefox 24.0 - just identical rectangles where new icons should be.\.  However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome.  I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript.  Those settings aren.t easy to access in the most recent Firefox 24.0 version.   Help me, please.

    The settings for Javascript are either on or off, Fireefox 24 doesn't give you a option to turn off Javascript, unless you installed something like NoScript extension (or some other Javascipt blocking add-on)
    If NoScript, then you need to use the View > Toolbars > Customize and drag the NoScript "Temp Allow All" button to the toolbar area to enable all enabled scripts (including Javascript) on that web page.
    Under the Firefox Help menu is a option to restart with add-ons disabled to see if something you might have installed is causing your problem.
    Reinstall Firefox or create another user account and run Firefox there to try to localize your issue.
    I'm having no problem here on 10.6.8 in Firefox, Chrome or Safari, Yahoo Mail works perfectly.

  • Att yahoo pop3 mail stopped downloading

    A few days ago my pop email from ONE of my att accounts stopped downloading onto both my imac G5 and my ibook. I still can send messages, and another att yahoo account I have will send AND receive in the same apple mail application. I also can get my .mac email in apple mail.
    Can pick up the att messages for the problem account on the web email interface and on my iphone, but I don't understand why I stopped getting them on the apple mail application.
    Have checked all account settings and they are correct according to att's web site and support people. Have spent an hour on the phone with att yahoo support people, and they can't fix it.
    Have also tried deleting the email account and setting it up again. Have dragged the com.apple.mail.plist file out of my library and onto the desktop to mimic setting mail up from scratch again. Apple Mail's "GET INFO" function can see the messages on the server, but they won't download.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Casaros

    You’re welcome, but I cannot assume anything you don’t tell us. What you had already tried is essential information that you should have provided from the very beginning...
    Actually, it isn’t clear whether you tried removing from the server the particular message that Mail could be choking on or removed something else, nor whether Mail is really failing to download the messages or it’s actually downloading them but you have some rules that process them in an unexpected way...
    Do the messages that Mail displays in the Account Info window, but apparently doesn’t download, appear there as already downloaded or as not downloaded yet (dot column)? If they appear as not downloaded yet, does Mail display any extraneous info for any of them, e.g. a size or a date that doesn’t make sense?
    Not sure how Eudora or Thunderbird will help me here.
    Well, reading what I said in the same paragraph where I suggested using another mail client would answer that, i.e. to avoid losing messages that Mail hasn’t downloaded yet as a result of removing them from the server...
    <hr>
    For POP accounts, Mail uses a file within the account folder to keep track of which messages have already been downloaded. You may try deleting that file so that Mail treats the messages still on the server as if new and tries to download them again:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder.
    3. Locate one or two files named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded and move them to the Trash. Mail 1.x used MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded to keep track of which messages had already been downloaded. Mail 2.x uses MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 for the same purpose.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • BT Yahoo e-mail Account and MacBook Pro

    Hi All
    This is my very first post, so please be patient if this topic has: 
    1) Already been covered.  The ones I have found seem a bit too technical for me (embarrassing!)
    2) Shows I'm a bit of a novice
    For a number of months now I have been happily plodding along with accessing both my AOL and BT Yahoo emails usingmy MacBook Pro.  That was until last week when I noticed I was being prompted for a password for my BT Yahoo emailaddress.  Upon entering my password, which I know to be correct, it came up with another message stating that it wasn'trecognised.  I then uninstalled then reinstalled the BT Yahoo email account and am continuously getting the same issue.  Iwill walk through when adding an account in the hope that someone may be able to thankfully help!  Again, please excusemy novice walkthru.  I am not the greatest expert when it comes to issues like this!
    RE-INSTALLING BT YAHOO ACCOUNT
    On MacBook, go to Mail, Preferences and click on the + to add a new email account.
    Following fields are required: Full name, e-mail Address and Password.  These are already detailed, apart from thepassword which is entered.
    The following message is then displayed: Mail cannot send your password securely to the server.  You cancontinue without a secured password, which could put your password at risk. Alternatively, you canmanually set up your account.Do you want to continue without a secured password?
    If I click Continue the following message is displayed: Logging in to the Yahoo! POP server “mail.btinternet.com”failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click Continue. If theinformation isn’t correct, you cannot receive messages.
    If I proceed and click Continue again, the Incoming Mail Server screen appears with the following completed fieldscompleted as follows:

  • (Mac Mail) How to obtain Yahoo! Mail when: You're inbox dissapears or does not show after all settings seem perfectly in place.

    Hello everyone!
    Note**: I am in no way attempting to illustrate how to get FREE email listing from Yahoo! Mail, I am only reciting what I have stumbled upon. I do not know if Yahoo! actually wants this to work in Mail. but it does, so if they didn't want it to work they will patch it or something. I recommend that you take advantage of their paid service(annual) which allows POP forwarding of emails quickly and withou any need for reconfiguration.
          I hope this "fix" is not being rementioned or creates redundancy, however after hours of searching all sorts of foums(including the Apple forums ofcourse) I was unable to find a true fix. Simply put, I just got a brand new Macbook Air 13'' for Christmas 2011. I also bought a Macbook Pro 15'' back in late 2010. I was never able to get Yahoo! Mail configured even through methods of IMAP rather than POP or POP3. Oddly enough, on my Macbook Air and Pro, now, when I try to redo the Yahoo! settings, my Inbox would display messages for a matter of seconds and then the messages would dissapear. However, there was still a number next to my Yahoo! e-mail, accurately indicating how many unread messages I had. I fixed it like so:
    1) Go to www.yahoo.com-- Configure Yahoo! account via account settings to work off of IMAP rather than POP Forwarding. Do so by going into account options on the top right or left hand of your screen and clicking through the forwarding options until you see IMAP. Make sure you save your new settings! This is very simple and I feel requires no further explanation. If you become confused, let me know and I will go into detail then.
    2) Once your Yahoo! Mail account is IMAP simply go into the Mail application on OSX (Mac). On the top bar of the Mail pane click on the "Mail" option in between the Apple sign and File.  Then, Click on Preferences from that dropdown pane. When this window appears, Click on the "@" symbol that says "Accounts" right under it. This is in between General and RSS options. Under the left-hand list that says "Accounts", click on the "+" sign as opposed to the "-" sign you will see there. This will allow you to setup an account or additional accounts. A window then will appear with options:
    3) ****Make sure you ARE connected to the internet wirelessly or via ethernet for this part!****
    ---------- Full Name: (Enter Full Name Here)
    ---------- Email Address: (Type in full email address, e.g.: [email protected])
    ---------- Password: (Type in your password to your email account, this IS CASE SENSITIVE.)
    4) Now! Listen! (lol), hit create and let the mac show you the settings it has pinged back from the Yahoo! mail server. It should illustrate that your e-mail is an IMAP based email address etc. As long as the account is created with the IMAP configuration and Mail reads it as so, you have succeeded thus far.
    5) Critial Step here: Go into the Mail application on OSX (Mac). On the top bar of the Mail pane click on the "Mail" option in between the Apple sign and File.  Then, Click on Preferences from that dropdown pane. When this window appears, Click on the "@" symbol that says "Accounts" right under it. This is in between General and RSS options. Under the left-hand list that says "Accounts", click on the Yahoo! IMAP account. Close to the top of that page between the different Mail options and the account settings you will see three different bar pages: a) Account Information, b) Mailbox Behaviors and c) Advanced.
    6) Click on the Advanced tab. Do not touch anything on this page, except, IMAP Path Prefix. This is located in the middle of the Advanced page screen right above Port, where you will see |Port:   993   (Box IS checked for: USE SSL). In that IMAP Patch Prefix type the name of your Inbox(I say this because some people rename it in Yahoo!). Mine is simply "Inbox" so my configuration in Mail looks like so: | Imap Path Prefix:  Inbox |. After this, click on "General" or attempt to close the Mail options window and it will as you to save the new setting. Ofcourse, hit yes and click the Get Mail envelope and you will see your Inbox populate, assuming you have new mail.
    What this means: Test your OUTGOING mail server by sending yourself an e-mail either from your Yahoo! Mail or from another email. Thus, this will allow you tot est your INCOMING email as was now reconfigured to IMAP by seeing if you actually receive the email.
    Reason for doing so in this sequence: By letting Mail create the account it will properly import all of your mail folders you have in your Yahoo! Mail account. Obviously, your Inbox and Outbox as well as Sent and Trash folders will import but I have additional folders, for example, that also imported for putting financials or receipts into different folders for organization. Once these are populated naturally, by changing the IMAP Path Prefix you're telling the Mail application where to send your new emails. Atleast this is my understanding of it.
    Unfortuntely, I am not an officially educated 'techie", however, I have been fiddling with computers over the last 20 years and have been training myself to become Apple expert, seing as I have decided to completely convert to Apple products. Apple is just reliable. This, to me, is priceless. I truly hope I have helped you and that I have saved hours of Youtube video watching as well as forum searching for many. Should you have any questions, FEEL FREE to ask! I love helping others, hense why I have made this post(my first Apple post). Happy Holidays everyone and enjoy!

    What Mac Mail did was delete ALL inbox messages from my yahoo account, after one week from importing them to Mac Mail.
    The Yahoo server did exactly what you Mail program told it to do.
    Mail/Preferences/Account/Advanced - This setting is adjustable for each mail account.
    I didn't know about this feature until it was too late. I have already unchecked it for future emails.
    I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted messages back to my yahoo inbox.
    Not Really, you could forward them to your account, after you've told your mail program not to delete the emails at all, but they will show up as being from you instead of the original sender. The originals at Yahoo have been dumped and probably purged. It would take an IT manager at Yahoo to manually replace the emails, not much chance of that.
    I've already asked yahoo to "restore" my inbox to a day ago. That should help me with retrieving some of the messages back, I hope.
    Also, I was wondering about the sync feature on the Mac Mail and what will actually happen if I use it. Does it apply to mail messages, or to address book and calendar entries?
    The sync feature refers to IMAP email accounts like .Mac or .Me or an Imap gmail account. I didn't think Yahoo offered IMAP email accounts.
    Apple's MobileMe membership will let you sync your Mail, AddressBook, Calender, personal website with iWeb, etc.
    "MobileMe is a service that pushes new email, contacts, and calendar events over the air to all your devices. So your iPhone, Mac, and PC stay in perfect sync."
    http://www.apple.com/mobileme/
    I wanted to use Mac Mail, see if I liked it or not, then decide to get a MobileMe account. However, this is still a side note, since my yahoo account is my main email client.
    You seem to be very well informed, and I was wondering if I can ask you to clarify a point for me. Do you know how to archive the inbox in the Mac Mail?
    And thank you for answering my queries.

  • Yahoo! Mail no longer loads emails and the ads are missing after having cleared Firefox's cookies, history, and cache.

    Ironically, I made this support account just to ask this question and had to go to IE to verify.
    Anyway, Yahoo! Mail use to work almost flawlessly before a couple days ago. Basically, the page loads like normal when I have a good connection except that the ads on the sides are missing, my profile picture is gone, the "fancy" rounded edges of the buttons are nonexistent, none of the menus work or open anything, and all of the links are useless. I have been searching for solutions for two hours now and none of them are relevant or useful:
    - Clear cookies = when I cleared cookies, cache and history is when the problem first started;
    - Disable Ghostery = I just learned about it today and so never installed it, but I also checked to make sure it wasn't there somehow;
    - Start in Safe Mode = the problem is still there and the only change was that it loaded the page faster;
    - Disable AVG = I can't because I can't find it anywhere...;
    - Disable Security/Change Permissions? = I think this was a suggested solution, but it already allows Yahoo! Mail to load images and set cookies while blocking pop-ups, location sharing, and installing themes/extensions;
    - Update Firefox = No. I like my old version. I keep hearing weird and annoying things about updated versions of Firefox, and I'm not going to risk losing everything else just to get Yahoo! Mail back
    I started using Firefox (3.6.12) because IE was slow, but ever since I tried clearing the cache, cookies and history Firefox has been going slower. Oddly enough, all of my browsing history was not deleted because certain web pages (that I haven't accessed in ages) show up in the address bar when I go to type. Gmail works in Firefox despite saying my browser isn't supported, but Yahoo! never bothers me about my browsers and now its acting strange.
    By the way, I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but right before Yahoo! Mail took the usability train off a cliff, it reloaded (because clearing the cookies logged me out), then told me the internet connection was slow and that I can switch to Basic for better results. I decided to stick with Classic and then it "crashed".
    Anyone help with this would be appreciated. One of the reasons I switched to FF is because Yahoo! Mail was faster on it, and I'd hate to have to go back to IE...
    Thanks in advance!

    As it turns out, many others have been having similar issues on other browsers. It seems that maybe Yahoo! is taking a much longer time to load or something like that. Either way, its been working on and off all week, and the same issue even showed up yesterday with IE 8 instead of FF. It still loads faster than IE 8, but again is spotty. Some people think the issue may be with mail.yimg.com or s.yimg.com, which I could see was the loading url in the left corner whenever Yahoo! Mail was refusing to work. A couple of people said blocking it caused the issue. Alternatively, some people suggested blocking it to solve the problem. Does anyone have any information on that? Again, I have no add-ons that would be blocking any urls, and my firewall hasn't any records of it. I really don't want to do anything to mess up my browsers more than they may have already been. Thanks for all of your help so far!

  • Binary attachments in Mail displayed inline !?

The worst part is that it is inconsistent; I just received 5 emails (all with attachments) from one of our clients (so, obviously all sent with the same email program from their end), and 4 showed the attachments correctly, and the 4th of the 5 inlined the two attachments (all 5 emails had two attachments, all the same formats, which is 1 plain text file, and 1 plain text file with a non-standard filename extension), so that the message shows up as follows:

  • Yahoo! Mail glitches with Lion mail client and Address Book app

    I had really been looking forward to using my Yahoo! mail account in the Lion mail client but now that it is here and I have set it up and used it for a few days I am noticing the following issues:
    New mail is not always received or is received late. Yahoo! Webmail portal shows new items but these sometimes do not appear in Lion mail client even after a manual 'get mail' check.
    Mail marked as read in Yahoo! Webmail portal or in mail clients in iOS devices such as iPhone or iPad is not marked as read in Lion mail client, however the reverse does work (i.e. mail marked as read in Lion mail client does mark the message as read in webmail and in clients on iOS devices).
    Yahoo! Aliases are not supported. Yes, you can add aliases by inserting the other email addresses in the 'Email Address' field of the account settings, but you cannot add more than one display name.
    I have also found that if you turn on Yahoo! contacts via the tick-box in the new 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' pref pane in System Preferences that I end up with random duplicated contacts. These duplicates are not seen on iOS devices, just in the Address Book app. If you delete a duplicate contact, it deletes the contact altogether. However, I have found that if you keep contacts unticked in the pref pane and add your Yahoo! account the old-fashioned way (i.e. via the Address Book app's own preferences) then the contacts sync through perfectly with no duplications.
    I would be interested to know if anybody else is experiencing these issues. It may be worth noting that mine is not a @yahoo.com address but @xtra.co.nz which belongs to my ISP here in New Zealand, but the mail is managed by Yahoo!. The account works perfectly as a Yahoo! account on iOS devices and does appear to be working in Lion, except for these small glitches but I don't imagine these are specific to @xtra.co.nz addresses.
    Thanks
    Steve

    i've had the same experience here.
    essentially it seems like lion mail.app just takes an incredibly long time to pickup new changes from the IMAP server at yahoo.
    ios and webmail are obviously much quicker.
    if it is working on ios, why does is it so delayed in mail?
    any solutions out there?

  • Workaround for MailTo Yahoo! Mail Helper Application bug?

    I don't know if there is an active bug report for this, but for Firefox 8 with the MailTo Helper Application set to Yahoo! Mail, choosing [i]File: Send Link[/i] opens the Yahoo mail form and inserts [b][i]mailto:?To=[/i]<link>[/b] into the [b]To:[/b] field, instead of simply inserting [b]<link>[/b] into the Body.
    I tried setting up a new MailTo Helper Application via a Javascript similar to those prescribed here: [url]http://www.davidgilson.co.uk/2009/09/make-webmail-firefoxs-default-mail-client[/url], but Firefox did not seem to respond to the script.
    I also installed GmailDefaultMaker (which also supports Yahoo Mail and several other webmails) and tried to use that to straighten out Firefox's Yahoo Mail setup, but it accomplished nothing.
    Working with the preferences in About:Config got me nowhere.
    Editing MimeTypes.rdf with Windows XP Wordpad was promising. (Notepad doesn't work due to the wrong kind of character encoding.) Replacing every instance of "http://compose.mail.yahoo.com/?To=%s" with "http://compose.mail.yahoo.com/?Body=%s" results in [b][i]mailto:?Body=[/i]<link>[/b] being inserted into the Body. That is an improvement, but nowhere could I find enough documentation about MimeTypes.rdf to figure out how to get rid of [b][i]mailto:?To=[/i][/b].
    (For documentation, there is [url]http://kb.mozillazine.org/MimeTypes.rdf[/url], but that is incomplete.)
    Does anyone have a workaround?

    Tom, thanks for your offer. Here is the explanation from my service provider, which includes a quote of the raw source. They're pointing the finger squarely at Apple Mail. Beats me, can you shed any light? It would be much appreciated...

    Our system admins did more research into this issue and we've found the source of why these messages cannot be displayed.
    What follows is the raw html from one of the messages from Aug 11;
    <HTML><BODY style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space;
    -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">This one sent as html.<BR><DIV>
    <SPAN class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"border-collapse: separate;
    border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;
    font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight:
    normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto;
    -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px;
    -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2;
    white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN
    class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"border-collapse: separate;
    border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;
    font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight:
    normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto;
    -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px;
    -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2;
    white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN
    Notice the style=3D"
    3D is equal to the = sign in the windows character map and is being written effectively twice, once in its windows format and the other in unicode, this makes the html invalid and unreadable by some readers and fails all validators that we've have put it through.
    Some applications may be able to correctly determine the duplicate nature of the characters and render the html but not all.

  • Yahoo E-mail and CCing

    I have a strange question. When I e-mail my friends using yahoo e-mail (who are also on yahoo e-mail) when they reply to be it adds them to the CC list of their reply. It doesn't do that to me just them. I have no idea why it would be putting them in the CC field of their own reply when I never had them in the CC list in the first place. Thoughts? It only does this when I sent e-mails from my iphone. Also it doesn't do it when I reply to their e-mails only when they reply to one I originally created.

    Anyone? If my above message isn't clear I'm just asking if anyone has had an issue where Yahoo E-mail has Carbon Copied (CC) friend's e-mails when they reply to you. So basically they respond to themselves as well as you.

  • Yahoo! Mail Plus and Reply-to address

    I am a Yahoo! Mail Plus subscriber, and am able to send emails with various verified addresses, when using the Yahoo Mail Web interface.
    My account serves as a collection point for primary mail (which originally goes to a spam service, and in turn is redirected to Yahoo Mail), and some other redirects. I then can check all mail here, and reply with various Reply-to addresses, which are what the recipients see.
    But in iPhone Mail using the YahooMail set up, I am only able to specify the default yahoo address, which I never use as a visible "reply to" address.
    Does anyone have a fix or suggestion how to solve this?

    There's a setting in your "Mail" settings that says "show To:cc label". I have that turned ON.
    Now, when I go to an email, and reply to it, I can just Tap the "cc/bcc/from" field with my finger, and it suddenly expands the cc, bcc, and from fields onto their own lines.
    The "from" field is now editable.
    Touch it, and you get a nice list selection to send 'from' any of your configured email accounts.
    Does that work for you?
