TB 10.0
Yahoo 1.5.7

I get the negative vibes and the that's cool errors.

Error console:
YahooPOPBETA.js: loginHandler : Exception : Error.
Error message: error parsing yahoo login web page
248

The problem started when my ISP changed their DNS addresses.

Help!

If you believe the ISP DNS change is causing the error, simply override the ISP DNS by using one of many free DNS, such as opendns.org (208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220)

I gave it whirl but no go.   Sooo not the DNS change.  Anyone else having problems with Yahoo?

In the FAQ (http://webmail.mozdev.org/faq.html), what specifically, are you looking for?

I also experienced WebMail - Yahoo extension disappearing after restarting TB 10 in another Win7 system and I updated it to the current TB version 14.0 and all is well now.


Below are my current settings, which work fine for me, and may not be suitable for other users.

In the WebMail 1.4.7, Option settings, just verify the POP/SMTP/IMAP servers you want to use are Running (Green circle) and not Stopped (Black circle).
Due to a possible update in Win7 I needed to change the Port settings, to get the WebMail Servers running again. Changed POP to 1030 and SMTP to 1035.
If you change the Port settings for the WebMail Servers to run, you must change the Port settings in the TB email Account Settings/Server Settings & SMTP for each email account utilizing WebMail.

WebMail - Yahoo 1.5.7, Option settings; All options are check-marked in POP and Advanced.

WebMail 1.4.7 & WebMail - Yahoo 1.5.7 are working in TB 14.0 (Win7 OS).]

I can't even get yahoo.com to load in the domains. Can we get an updated FAQ at the webmail extension download page, please? I'm using Seamonkey and the extension install without any hangups. I restarted and installed the Yahoo extension and restarted. I keep adding yahoo.com to the Yahoo extension, but it disappears.

I'm using Windows 7. I don't think there is any read/write access problem like one might encounter on Linux.
