Safari and Yahoo mail

Safari crashes (hangs) every time I try to access mail.yahoo.com -- 99% of the mail home page downloads but it just hangs and never completes -- so now I use Camino...

Has anyone else had problems with Yahoo mail?

Macbook Pro, 2 Mini's, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Hi Krag,

Not only in Safari, if you open Yahoo! Mail in Firefox too, it is crashing. Please followt he below steps,
1. Turn off if you have any Safari extensions turned on
2. You just press escape button or x button in the address bar once Login and password boxes appear.
3. If you are using your local regional Yahoo! Mail, like yahoo.fr etc. avoid it and use yahoo.co.in etc. It should work fine.

Please keep us posted how it is going on!

All the best.

HI,

every time I try to access mail.yahoo.com


BrowserPlus causing problems with Yahoo mail. Go here for instructions to uninstall BrowserPlus.

Also, from the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies. Delete all Yahoo cookies.

From a Finder window select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file to the Trash.

Relaunch Safari.

Carolyn, I saw this posted answer and possibly you can help me. This morning i tried to get into my Yahoo mail accounts and the sign up would not accept my ID or password. I don't know if I have a compromised computer (powerbook G-4 macos10.4.11 (tiger)


This morning I did go on to one of my accounts successfully, and did get one mail in my spam folder and it had something purported to be from Yahoo stating that i have been infected by a TROJAN HORSE and directed me to log on to my account--I DId NOT do this and deleted the spam.


I changed my e-mail address with yahoo and still can't open the new ones. Yahoo is never helpful as you may know.


Can you help?

This is pompguy again. Believe it or not, I think my yahoo mail problem has been solved(keeping my toes and fingers crossed)

what I did is uncheck the "keep signed in " box when signing in, and i can now access all my addresses.

It must be a bug and yahoo was no help as usual. (I must uncheck this each time i sign in)


Only question left is the flashing "cache DB journal" in the library, but assume this is not a problem?
