unable to use Yahoo mail with new SSL feature.

I have no problem securely signing in to Yahoo mail using either Safari or Firefox.
Wish I could be more helpful.

I am also having that problem!! I also cannot get to my aol or gmail email accounts because of this problem!! I have other information that it is a keychain problem...but...have not found a way to fix that problem! I understand that it has something to do with getting your keychains and moving them to the desktop...then restarting the machine...and that is the default fix...however!?!?!?.....I have not been able to find the keychains so as to move them to the desktop and restart!! Any help with this would be appreciated... tks

Since Yahoo made some changes to their mail sign-in
page Iv been unable to use the SSL entry. Use to be
you clicked "secure" and it took you to the secured
sign-in page. Then they made some change that now
says "submits over SSL." However, when I try it I
get a page telling me it won't work, SSL not
supported by all browers. Do I have to change
something in Safari to be allowed the new access? Or
has Yahoo now stopped supporting Mac? FYI, I get the
same thing using Firefox.

I'm not having a problem signing into my Yahoo account using SSL. What browser and version are you using?

I am experiencing the same problem with both Safari (current version with latest security update earlier this week) & Netscapev7.2.

I was in a lengthy discussion with SBC Yahoo DSL Tier 2 support today, and have emailed details of screen shots from 2/25, when you could ultimately get to a "Secure Mode" link to a page which would display a 'locked' or secure page.

In the last 2 days, the email verification page has changed to one not offering the 'older' SSL3, 128 bit, MD5 security level.

Since I am also an employee of SBC (Voice Switch not internet side), and a DSL customer, I am interested in getting to the bottom of this issue, and hope I have escalated to better level of attention at this point.

Since SBC/ATT have partnered to provide the SBC/ATT Yahoo service, I am inclined to believe something has changed in the recent Yahoo email password verification screen/SSL protocol implementation that neither Safari nor Netscape can handle.

I am baffled, though, why a security warning, or some 'flash' / redirect is not occuring to direct the page to a non-secure version. The security options are set in both of my browsers. Maybe this is purely a Yahoo error never directing to a secure site in the first place.

At least a year ago, I questioned why the old password verification page did not go directly to a secure site, instead of the insecure page to start. I was told it was to conserve secure server resources, but the user could choose to the secure log in by executing a few extra clicks.

If ANYONE, including Apple Safari support or programers, knows what the latest SSL security protocols Safari supports, please let me know, & I will pass it on to SBC (now the newATT).

Netscape provides quite a lot information on the SSL protocols enabled in the preferences/security section, so the only thing left is a secure SSL protocol issued since the v7.2 implementation.

If anyone can point me to the latest SSL RFC changes, this may also help.

Thanks for any help! I will report any new developments.
