Convenient tools for Yahoo Mail like keyboard shortcuts can save time and make this e-mail system easier to use. Yahoo Contacts update contact information quickly, and spam screening and mail filters help with security. Other Yahoo Mail tools let you add a personalized signature to messages or send a vacation response when you're away.
Yahoo Contacts work like an address book _savechanges.png Save Changeswith more functions. You can store all of your contact information about people and companies -- and access it anywhere via the Web or print it out. You can also access that information to send single or group e-mails or to add to contacts from e-mails.
To add contacts and their information, click on "Add" next to the Contacts icon. Enter the information, and click "Save." To add information later, click twice on the contact's name or click "Edit." Once you've added a name, you can use Address AutoComplete in sending messages. When you're composing a message, type just the first couple of letters of the person's name after "To:" to access possible names. Click the one you want, and the correct address will be filled in.
To add a contact from e-mail, click "Add Contact" next to the sender's name in an open e-mail message. A window will show the person's name and e-mail address. Add whatever information you want, click "Save" and the person is added to your contacts.
Yahoo Mail defines spam as any message sent to more than one person who didn't specifically request it. Usually spam advertises unwanted goods or services. Yahoo Mail automatically places questionable incoming e-mails in your Spam folder. Some of these may be legitimate but not from a recognized contact. You can review the folder to make sure none of the e-mails are ones you want. If they are, you can move them to your Inbox or other folders. If they're not, you can delete them or wait for them to be deleted automatically.
You also can use mail filters to block images or specific addresses. To do either, go to "Options," then "Mail Options" and then the Spam option. You can choose to show images except in the Spam folder, show only those from contacts and certified senders, or block all images. You can block an individual address or all from a specific domain.
Mail options let you personalize your messages. With this option, you can create a signature with a saying or contact information to appear at the bottom of each message you send. You also can send a vacation response automatically to anyone who e-mails you while you're away.
The mail program on Yahoo has been frozen in Firefox, no other browser.Yesterday, I opened it, and i was unable to delete mail because the whole toolbar with delete, reply, forward, spam, etc. was no longer on my mail window. I tried to send an email, but this function was also disabled.
These buttons do move elsewhere when you have the preview pane on the right, but from the screenshot I can see that you do not, plus you don't have the view button or the select all/group button. You can try changing turning your preview pane on and trying it both on the right and on the bottom to see if that helps:
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
Cookies and cache are information that websites you visit store on your computer - these are often preferences, such as whether you use the 'basic' version of Yahoo! mail or the 'full featured' version. Deleting these means that Yahoo! will set some of its less important settings back to their default values - useful if you accidentally changed some settings and can't figure out how to change them back. No important information is stored in cookies or cache, so deleting them will just mean that you will have to log back into some websites. Read this article on deleting cookies - try just deleting cookies for Yahoo!. If this doesn't work, delete all your cookies and check the box next to cache as well.
If you still have trouble, the problem is possibly being caused by extensions - programs that run within Firefox to provide extra functions such as video playing or advertisement blocking. To help find out which extension(s) is/are causing the problem, follow this article on using safe mode - allowing you to test websites with some of Firefox's settings temporarily reset and with extensions turned off.
Nothing gets solves without talking to people - Thanks for trying to help, this is now 1 week wasted by me - and by all of you - probably would have taken a 30 second call if either of these companies bothered to hire PEOPLE!!! We're going back to Fred-Flintstone land! Al Bell would be rolling over in his grave.
Please understand that we are all volunteers doing this on our own time and this website is community-powered therefore Firefox developers are unlikely to read your comments. You can, however, provide feedback for the Firefox developers at input.mozilla.org/feedback if you wish.
I just can't figure out why there are no paid employees doing this on the phone - an idiotic way to do business! I appreciate your time and efforts to help those of us who don't live in the electronic world :-)
I empathize with Momus. It is sad that something happens out of the clear blue like this and no one knows why. My Yahoo Mail tool bar is gone and renders it useless. I can switch to the basic, but I don't like it. It works fine in IE and Chrome, so it has to be something in Firefox. I like Firefox, but I may have to lose it now. The only other thing is I dropped my paid Yahoo Mail account, because of the same thing that bothers Momus, No Support! They expect you to wade through hundreds of pages of posts and idiotic ramblings trying to find a solution. I tried to find out why I was unable to change a name in the Contacts, My daughter got married, and it will Not change. There are hundreds of Posts on changing your screen mane and stuff, and one person gave me the instructions for Editing Contacts, which I was smart enough to find on my own, but it didn't work, as I had previously posted. Just a pure waste of a couple of hours of searching the ramblings of teeny techs. Even the instruction here are difficult to follow and arcane. Virtually none of them are clear enough to even follow. If I can figure out how to save my Yahoo emails, I'll just get a Google account, which may not be any better. The lack of support, especially, when I paid for the account, is unconscionable. It looks like I'll have to switch browsers, as well, to Chrome. I cannot do IE, though. I appreciate your volunteering, but there s/b more support. I'd pay for the freak'n browser for some support, but then they'd have to drop all of the ads and crap.
I think this Firefox/Yahoo marriage is damaged beyond repair, other than hands-on-in-person work by some technical adviser. I have no idea why it disappeared without so much as a wrong key depressed.
Keep your Firefox browser, it is better for some functions than Chrome or Safari. Internet Explorer is the most useless, hasn't been updated for Macintosh since 2002 - they even had to give up supporting it in their machines after about 2006-7.
I think this error is unable to be corrected without hands-on-in-person correcting, at this point. Nothing any of you helpful people have directed me to do has corrected the error. Thanks again for trying to help me!
