Yahoo! Mail Warning

[Colin_Camper]

Yeah this was totally uncool.
I was a btopenworld customer 'forced' to use yahoo webmail.
I just changed to tiscali broadband and have no problems.
And it's £5 cheaper for uncapped 512k.

Check it out in the U.K.

Greetings,
*Aweb - fails to log-in.
*Voyager & Ibrowse - Logs-in, never crashes, but no 'SEND' and 'ATTATCH FILE' buttons and other similar buttons.
  Really bad, though I can only view my emails but can't reply them.
  The only standard these browsers need are updated JAVA plug-ins just like firefox does. Most of the applets running are JAVA enabled. I can also access my Lotus-mail at the office but the same effect. The java running in these browsers are outdated, needs to be improved.
Any news on Jamiga??? I hope they got plug-ins ready for these 'old' browsers. These browsers need to conform to new web standards. I got a bad feeling it will never be updated, specially on '030 and less machines. :-( I hope I'm wrong...

I think that what needs to be done here is the exact opposite. You need to write to developers of the above-mentioned browsers that you'd like a more modern version, that supports today's standards.

That, and it is good to write Yahoo! too, but I would say it is on the writer to specify what feature or attribute of the Yahoo! Mail needs to be changed, or at least give one example. You can't expect the Yahoo! programmer to go out and buy a Pegasos to figure out what's up.

I am not trying to put this on Targhan though because he is one of the busier people in the community!

Here's a simple solution. Use the wap interface.

http://wap.oa.yahoo.com/

Although I just noticed they have an error on their Wap mail interface. It still says 6MB limit on mine but on the normal interface, it's 100MB. Someone probably hard coded the size text in the browser pages.

@Tekoneiric

Just one hitch. I can't attach a file from wap site.
Bummer! :-( Anyway, better than nothing. :-)

Hmm, I just wet in and yes it does crash V and Ibrowse works, but I cant get into the inbox. Its a shame we cant have better browsers. We neen firefox more then anything now!!

EDIT: Yup the wap page works well for sending and cheking mails through it. Good work mate!

Just a thought:
Can YAM be configured to use as POP mailer for yahoo! or similar messengers to work on classic machines? I have not tried that yet.
Hmmm... I hope the answers are out there.. :-?  :-)

I hate it when I answer my own question! Grrr :pissed:

Here's the site that did.  :oops:
Email problem using YAM

Bad idea... I don't have an IP mail server for yahoo...
