Australian Yahoo Email Addresses
Lorin Mandaloniz
I have a yahoo.com.au email account.
I joined a website and put mye...@yahoo.com instead of mye...@yahoo.com.au my mistake, forgot to add the .au
Is it possible to access the .com account so i can retrieve the activation email i need?
I have tried going to yahoo.com but my email box redirects to yahoo7 mail.
When trying to log in using mye...@yahoo.com it redirects to .com.au
but where would the .com email go to as it has not come to my inbox?
Is it possible to access the .com account so i can retrieve the activation email i need?
No, either someone else has that em...@yahoo.com or it is not registered
You will need to go back to that site and email the admin to see if they can change the email.
Is it possible to access the .com account so i can retrieve the activation email i need?
As it is only you as to have the alias, there's no way you can.
Once you got the .com.au account, the .com just don't exist.
When trying to log in using mye...@yahoo.com it redirects to .com.au
It doesn't matter if you login into mail.yahoo.com or mail.yahoo.com.au, your mail is always gets to Australia's Yahoo.
but where would the .com email go to as it has not come to my inbox?
You just won't receive as the .com, that address just don't exist.
I just tried that, it comes back to me as no mail server found.
AusLeo... You can make 3 websites if you like on your own same alias no extra cost.
The US: geocities.yahoo.com/filemanager
The UK: uk.geocities.yahoo.com/filemanager
Australia: au.geocities.yahoo.com/filemanager
It doesn't matter if you login into mail.yahoo.com or mail.yahoo.com.au, your mail is always gets to Australia's Yahoo.
You just won't receive as the .com, that address just don't exist.
Thats what i discovered before starting this thread. I am happy to know that once the Alias is used it cannot be used elsewhere across the yahoo network by someone else.
But I sort of expected the emails to redirect aswell.
for the website to change it for you?
I did ask them, but didn't really push for them to do much, as they said it would take a while to sort it out. It was not really that important, but I do know now to double check the .com.au when using yahoo mail as an address.
The spike in spam is most likely related to a vulnerability on developer.yahoo.com which led to Yahoo email accounts being hacked. Yahoo quickly addressed the problem and encouraged users to change their passwords to a strong password and to enable the second login challenge in their account settings.
If you suspect that your Yahoo account has been hacked or has been relaying spam, you should immediately change your password and review your account and security settings. Yahoo has an extensive help section that has more details about securing your account.
The scammer contacts the victim through a fake email address and claims to be from the Department, or another Australian Government agency. The email address used by the scammer is not a genuine departmental email address and ends in .pn.
Please note that emails received from any address ending in .pn are not sent by the Australian Government. The email addresses are in no way affiliated with the Australian Embassy or the Department of Home Affairs.
Victims claim to have received an email from this address guaranteeing a visa for Australia. Victims have reported paying substantial amounts of money to the sender in order to obtain a visa for Australia.
Back then, Yahoo used national TLDs for email addresses (yahoo.co.uk, yahoo.co.in, etc.) depending on the language and location the email address was created from. Luckily, Yahoo discontinued this practice.
In fact, you could even create a Yahoo email ending with @rocketmail.com (on rocketmail.com domain). This is no longer possible, but of course, the email addresses ending with rocketmail might still be valid!
Both are correct. Yahoo email addresses typically end in @yahoo.com. However, some Yahoo email addresses may also end in @yahoo.net, @ymail.com, or @rocketmail.com (More about Rocketmail). New users can only create emails ending with @yahoo.com. Both Yahoo.com and Yahoo.net domains are owned by Yahoo (check whois record).
I use the mail merge function in Word for this, it is fairly simple to set up, especially if you have a spreadsheet of the names and email addresses . You can individually address the email and also filter the recipients based on specific attributes, which can be handy.
Every time you send an email from a domain-based address (your...@yourcompany.com.au), you're putting your business name in front of customers. Because your domain name also serves as your web address, every email encourages them to visit your website.
Register your domain name, then decide on a professional email address for yourself. The most common email addresses are your first name, or first name and surname, like j...@yourcompany.com.au or joeb...@yourcompany.com.au.
Your emails are more likely to get to your recipients and get opened. So your business keeps growing and gaining customers. Plus your productivity improves with high-storage capacity, no annoying ads and smooth calendar integration.
I know people are trying to help but it is pointless offering advice which is useless and or misleading in that not acknowledging that sky/yahoo have changed something and seem unwilling to correct it - putting the onus on the customer is not the answer
A little over a week ago, while I was in the midst of collecting stories from relatives to work into a eulogy for my father who passed away the week before, I became locked out of my Sky Yahoo email on every device after succcessfully changing the account password. As you can imagine, this happened at the worst possible time.
For background, I have had this email account since Sky launched broadband, some 15+ years ago. In fact I worked at Sky HQ for over 8 years and there is probably still some of my DNA in Osterley from the blood, sweat and tears dropped on the floor from the long hours and late nights dedicating a significant amount of my life to a job I loved. However, I moved to Australia in 2012 so it is a long time since I had a Sky TV or broadband account, staff or otherwise. I have however used that email account every day since I got it, with no prior issue.
This is not a password problem as I can log into my Sky account and even see my personal details, but when I go to email it says "Access Denied" and states "You do not have permission to access [domain] from this server". Ditto when trying to enter the new password on my phone - I get that message before I even see a screen to enter a password into.
Of course I turned to this forum and the Sky website for a solution. A few people in this forum have found that the problem inexplicably resolved itself after a few days, but on the Sky website it directs people to call them and specify their public IP address for Sky to fix it - see -accessing-sky-yahoo-mail-error-access-denied
As I do not have an international calling plan, I could not find a way to contact Sky immediately, but went to a relative's house earlier this week (a few days after the funeral) to try to sort it out.
I called Sky 4 times over a period of over 2 continuous hours, almost all of which was spent on hold. The first time I was cut off after speaking to someone who put me on hold for over 20 minutes. The second time I was told that Sky had no record of an account with me and I was given a differerent number who I was told would "definitely be able to sort it out" for me but who they said they could not transfer me to. When I called that number (call number 3) it was the same IVR as the first 2 calls so not a specialist help team that I was assured I would get through to, and I was cut off after 20 minutes without even speaking to a person. The fourth call I got through to someone but again again they could not locate my account and I got cut off after they put me on hold for nearly 30 minutes. On two of these calls I provided an Australian number for them to call in case we were disconnected, but (what a surprise) I never heard back.
In some ways I am not surprised - I am not a paying customer and the access denial is probably an increased security measure as my IP address is not in the UK. I just wish I had reasonable notice that Sky would deny international access and I could have established a new personal account with another email service. In short, I feel horribly mistreated by being denied access to an email account I have used for 15+ years.
I have finally found a way to get into my email, which is via a VPN, even though all the articles suggest turning off VPN to solve the issue! I only have a VPN on one device and it's as slow as anything but I am using that to make sure I don't miss any emails. I have set up another email service and have started to change the dozens of subscriptions, utilities, govt departments and so on that have my sky.com email address.
First, if anyone from Sky reads this and actually cares, please tell me how to sort this out, ideally without me having to call another UK Sky number where I am going to spend another 2 hours without you being able to help. If Sky mail is no longer going to work overseas, you should also tell users that this is the case. I am sure I am not the only person in this boat.
Sky don't support the use of VPNs so use of one may or may not work. In some cases it blocks access hence the advice to turn it off when logging in. In others, as for you, it facilitates access
