safari webmail not working

Just recently, Safari will no longer open email messages, delete mail, or view any folders in my webmail viewed through safari. When i try to do the mentioned tasks, the loading bar stops a quarter of the way through then freezes. I can access my mail through firefox. the webmail program is Microsoft Outlook Web Access, used to view my school email. It has always worked in the past, and yesterday stopped working for no reason. any ideas?!

powerbook g4, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Have you tried deleting the related "cookies" in the Preference>Security panel?

Are you seeing this type of freeze with any other site?

I'm having a similar issue. I'm a county employee who uses the Microsoft access webmail exchange server to process email at home. Safari allows me to open and read mail, but hitting the reply, forward and reply to all buttons immediately closes the email window without sending.

I just got this iMac 20 in the hopes of "switching," but I can't afford to lose out on the basics.

Welcome to Apple Discussions and the world of Mac Computing

allowing you to install Windows XP on your system via "Bootcamp" seems like it will give you the best of both worlds - superior computing in OS X, reliable equipment, and when necessary using Windows XP to access PC applications, including Internet Explorer for Windows

IE for Windows is the most used browser (over 85 percent of all computer users). Hence, web sites are developed usually to work with IE. By contrast, I have come across a number of instances (Yahoo video for one) which will not function in Safari. Over time, this will change, however, given Safari's "newness", it's not surprising to see certain web sites not function as intended.

Apple is very solid on the basics. As you "switch" your perspective to the OS X method of file organization and computing, you'll begin to appreciate the user friendly nature of Apple products.

Good Luck
