When you run a small business, your time is very important, so everything on your computer must be easily accessible, including your mail. If you use Yahoo to manage your business mail, you usually have to open a Web browser and navigate to Yahoo to check your mail. To save some time, you can add a shortcut to Yahoo to your desktop so you can navigate to the online email client with a simple double-click.
So basically the main problem is that the icon on the desktop is missing and if I go to Start -> All Programs -> McAfee, it should have a shortcut called "McAfee Internet Security". But it just says "empty".
I checked my McAfee Internet Security to make sure that my Real-Time Scanning, Firewall, and stuff were on and they were. This was when I went to check on the All Programs in the Start menu and noticed that in the McAfee folder, it was listed as Empty. I didn't delete the icon myself or anything and my Access Protection has always been on since it was implemented. After that I just went on the internet to check my two ISP email and my Yahoo email. After this, I just refreshed the Desktop to see if the icon was there or not and it still isn't. Lastly, I just checked my History and Logs for Incoming Event to see if the Internet Security was working like it always was and it did register 4 events from Mozilla when I did an add-on update check.
What does the fact of me using the desktop icon or not matter to you. I am not saying I can't open McAfee without it, but rather I am wondering why my icon disappeared without me deleting it or anything. Could this be due to McAfee or something else?
I just turned on my computer and I checked that I do have Internet Explorer 8. I also just tried updating McAfee and for some reason the desktop icon and shortcut in the McAfee Folder in the All Programs reappeared.
Well that's a stroke of luck I must say. Especially as everyone else is complaining that they can't get rid of the desktop icon (that issue is being worked on by McA), but afraid I haven't any idea why it should suddenly start working. That's bizarre.
I lost today my mail icon. After trying shutting the phone off I could not get it. In the settings it was also missing. Next I tried the App Store and I "downloaded" it. Then I got a welcome screen. Tried to sign into a gmail account and got a message telling me it was already there. I was also missing my company email file. Tried resetting the home screen as someone suggested and did not do much. Finally I went to settings, found the mail settings restored and went into accounts. All my mail accounts were there but they had been turned off. I turned them back on and I seem to be back to normal.
Just reboot the phone. Press and hold power button and home button at the same time. Keep holding until the Apple icon comes on the screen. After a few minutes, the phone is ready & mail icon will be back.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3. I have killed the browser and restarted. Have rebooted the computer. It comes back the same every time. The yahoo mail works fine on chrome, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer with no visible change from the way it has been but on Brave the display and functions are as described.
@Illiterate1,
I believe that @gsarvadnya was asking to see what your Shields settings were configured to for mail.yahoo.com specifically. Please login/visit yahoo! mail and open your Shields panel as you did in the image above.
There is an easier way, download an app called "Liteicon" you can get it from softonic its reliable I used it. After you download it open it up go to applications put the icon you want replacing the mail icon then click apply changes and restart your laptop then you will see it changed.
I discovered this because I happened to have made a mail alias under Josemite, and saw that it retained its custom icon (through the upgrade). I tried doing the same thing after the upgrade to El Capitan but discovered that the new OS imposes SIP on aliases too, so if you try to change the icon after upgrading it will, sadly, revert to the blue standard stamp.
Add your Yahoo! account as an IMAP account. To do this, follow the steps in Add an account using advanced setup using imap.mail.yahoo.co.jp for your incoming mail server and smtp.mail.yahoo.co.jp for your outgoing mail server.
The use of "favicons" in a mail client is totally up to your email client. I know in Mozilla Thunderbird, at least five years ago, there was an add-on to do what you want to do; the add-on was basically set up to "hard-code" an image to use for a particular email address; IE: If the from: address was [email protected] the add-in would use a GMail icon in the inbox list.
Here these are not icons but only generated "helpful" visual aids.Microsoft has decided to add these to its Mail app in 2017 for visuallyindicating the source of the email, a feature that existed already inits products on Android.
Note: The former app for Windows 10 was a web wrapper for Yahoo webmail and was never a truly native desktop app. If you're interested in learning more about desktop email, we've got you covered. The Mailbird blog can teach you about how to choose an email client and show you what a difference it can make for your productivity.
If you're ready to weigh your options against using Yahoo, you've come to the right place. We have a couple of ideas: one would be to try a new email service provider, and the other is to keep Yahoo, but use a desktop email client to offer a clean and simple solution. You'll find Mailbird is lightning fast and boosts productivity tenfold.
Mailbird is a desktop email client that will host all of your email accounts in one place. You can move between your personal or professional emails easily, or view all of your emails collectively in the Unified Inbox.
I have a new HP notebook and can't get my yahoo email to sync. It gives me an error saying that my yahoo email needs updating. I have removed the email from the notebook and tried reinstalling several times. I tried entering my yahoo email as gmail and it will still give me the same error. I have changed the setting several times and changed them back. WHen I pull my email up it says there are no new emails.
Some accounts such as Yahoo, need an App Specific password, INSTEAD of your usual sign in password when setting up your account.
To create one on Yahoo for example; log in to your account through your browser as you normally would to check your mail.
Then click this link:
-passwords/list
Click on Generate a Password, Name it something like Windows 10 Mail and highlight and copy (Cntrl+C) this password that is a series of 16 lower case letters.
Then, go to your mail app and paste this in as your new password for Yahoo. I found it easier just to delete the already established Yahoo account through the settings gear icon in the lower left of your mail app and start over.
Again, use this app password only for your Windows 10 mail app's Yahoo account. Your mail password remains the same.
Technically, the issue started years ago, when both Kissell and I made a common adjustment to Gmail settings. The tweak tells Gmail to hide its "All Mail" label from mail programs syncing messages using the IMAP Internet-standard, Internet Message Access Protocol. That switch stops desktop mail apps from fetching an extra copy of every message.
Yahoo will make this switch in January, but there's no reason to wait until then. In its current webmail interface, sign into your account, click the gear icon and choose Settings, click the "Security" heading, and click the checkbox next to "Always use HTTPS."
