I'm using a Macbook (13", 2.4 Ghz) running OS 10.6.8. I'm using Safari 5.1.2. I am unable to login to my Yahoo mail account with Safari (works fine using Firefox). Specifically, when I enter my login name and password, then hit , nothing happens. The cursor sits there blinking next to the bullets in the password field. If I click on the "sign in" button, again, nothing happens. The password field becomes unselected, but that's it. I've tried various remedies suggested in the forums: delete keychains, delete cookies, reset Safari. Nothing has worked. Is anyone else having this problem?

Sorry, trashing the cache.db file didn't work. I'm just wondering why Safari and Yahoo mail would develop an incompatibility. They worked fine for more than a year. I'm guessing that something changed in one of the newer releases of Safari. But, others don't seem to be having this problem. Hmmm. I'll work on it, and see if I can find a solution. I did mac support at a big university for 17 years. I should be able to find a solution ?

A friend (who knows even less about technology than me) has an old Dell Inspiron 1501 which has been running Linux Mint 18 Xfce, which is now unsupported.I'm beginning to regret it but just to keep it going for a couple of years I offered to update to Mint 20 Xfce, which is the last version listing 1 Gb as the minimum Ram (everything later or other version are 2 Gb or more), which is the most that system can use.Once the wifi was eventually working (old b43 broadcom driver) most things went fine (except Team Viewer, which works on another Mint 20 Xfce system, but that's not a question for here).However, she uses Yahoo mail, and for some reason just attempting to load the login page (login.yahoo.com) causes Firefox to crash (I mentioned Thunderbird in the title as I attempted to access Yahoo Mail with it, but because it needs to access the Yahoo Mail page (as I think this is now based on App codes rather than passwords), and doing that crashed Thunderbird also).I'm pretty sure I have methodically gone through all the troubleshooting steps on -US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems (clear cookies & cache by deleting history; clear startup cache; refresh; reinstall; new profile). Firefox doesn't crash in Troubleshoot mode, despite the fact is seems to still use hardware acceleration, even though I thought it would disable that.Hence, I'm at the end of what I know to try (and that's just from following the guide, I am not an expert) and would be grateful for any help anyone can offer. I attach an image that lists all the submitted crash reports, as they will refer to slightly different conditions as I tried all the options mentioned above.I'm using my own PC to submit this (so any hardware & system data submitted by this web-form won't be relevant), not the Inspiron 1501 that has the issue. I can open the Yahoo mail page on this machine (same version of Firefox) and also on the Inspiron 1501 using Chrome (but there was a different reason relating to security why we couldn't log in via that). Would really like to get Firefox (and Thunderbird) working on the laptop, if possible.

It's looking like the issue, and possible solution, lies with Linux, possibly requiring tinkering with drivers or the kernel itself (and given the hardware is old, possible a regression). This would be stretching my capabilities, and given it's a friend's laptop, I think too much of a risk.So, I'm going to mark this as solved, as I don't think it can be solved by tinkering with Firefox.

I did then try downloading the official Mozilla version, and while I could follow the instructions to install that (a .deb install file would have been better for me) it was all pushing my limits a little, so unless someone thinks they do have a solution to this (and would the mesa driver be associated with a Firefox version, or is it more likely tied to the specific Linux kernel, which I really don't want to play about with?) then I think I'll revert to the older version (of Linux and Firefox on a different drive), which, although no longer supported, didn't have this issue (although first attempt at that nearly gave me a heart attack, as it wasn't recognising the old drive and stating no Operating System found, though did when removed and re-inserted).

The AMD drivers for Linux are baked in the kernel, so you don't need to install any drivers technically. There are the MESA drivers like mentioned at -mesa-ubuntu/ though it may not be worth the headache if you are not using a GPU for gaming or such.

I didn't install any additional drivers (other than the b43 for the wifi, and that was from the repository). Any and all graphics drivers were just what was bundled into the Linux (MInt 20 Xfce) distro, and it may just be that these newer versions won't work with the old hardware in this Dell Inspiron 1501 (2006?).

I have reverted to the Mint 18 installation on the old SSD and that works (and even allowed some updates - presumably the last for that distro). The laptop only gets used occasionally, for a bit of browsing and documents. Email is mostly by phone. It's not likely to be top of the list for security attacks and everything is backed up, so I think she'll just have to accept that minor risk until new(er) hardware can be bought.

I think I'm just going to mark this as solved, unless advised not to, even though the issue wasn't really solved (though maybe it could be if I followed the route suggested by James for MESA drivers), as I won't pursue it anymore.

My theory is that the yahoo server does a lousy job when it tries to balance between the user convenience and security. The server is too sensitive to "suspicious" login attempt, and didn't have a better way to offer CAPTCHA validation with the gmail login.

The Ymail domain was launched in 2008, 11 years after the launch of Yahoo mail. The ymail.com domain was launched alongside rocketmail.com, and the two domains were launched to attract new users to the email service.

Now we can also use our google account to create a yahoo email account, but in this tutorial we are going to do it in the traditional way, I tell you so that you take it into account in case you want to do it that way

Following the traditional way of creating our mail you will be taken to the Yahoo sign up form, where you will enter your personal information, choose a username/email address and a password for your account.

Next you need to enter the phone number, this is important because it may be used to verify your account and will help you retrieve your password in case you forget it. So make sure you choose your country code and enter your phone number correctly and click SEND CODE.

To get started, open an internet browser on your computer or mobile device and go to the Yahoo homepage at www.yahoo.com. It will look something like this (but maybe with different news stories and pictures, of course ):

With the passing of time, emails give us more facilities when yahoo mail create account or logging in in the easiest and fastest way, yahoo mail now gives us the option to log in with our google account and in addition to synchronizing our gmail mail and reading and answering our mails all from the same yahoo mail.

Yahoo Mail is a free web based email service by Yahoo, Inc. It was created in October 1997 by two electrical engineers David Philon and Jerry Yang. Now Yahoo Mail has almost 227.8 million users globally. This email service is secure and easy to use for everyone, many people use it for their personal or business work. Yahoo Mail offers variety of features to its users and by having a Yahoo.com account you also get 1 TB free cloud storage.

Logging in to Yahoo Mail account is a simple and straightforward process. Go to www.yahoo.com and click on "Sign in", enter your username/email address in the first field and password for your account in the second field then click "Sign in". Below mentioned are the separate guides on how you can login to Yahoo account on different devices.

In her first major move since taking the helm at Yahoo in July, CEO Marissa Mayer on Tuesday unveiled an upgrade to Yahoo Mail, the once-ubiquitous email service that has since been eclipsed in popularity by Google's Gmail. In a post on Yahoo's blog, Mayer said the faster and cleaner interface would be available on all platforms, including the iPhone and Android:

You've told us loud and clear that you want fewer distractions when it comes to email. You want to quickly login, communicate, and get on with your day. And we've listened. Starting today, the new Yahoo! Mail is fast, easy and available anywhere you go.
