I am still unable to access my yahoo email account via internet explorer 6.
I am using the most current IE as of 4/29/05, and have tried numerous things
posted in this forum as well as microsoft's knowledge base, with no answer to
my problem. basically, IE hangs after i enter my yahoo id and password.
please, please help...otherwise i will have to switch to an alternative
browser forever!
Could this not have been added to your previous thread? You received a
response suggesting consideration of the host file. You should have
responded to that article, and explained whether you checked it, an found no
problems, or maybe even aren't running one.
I did not follow the suggested link, but I do see that you don't mention the
"numerous things" that you tried. So pardon me if I tell you to do something
which you have already tried, because I have know idea about what you
haven't told us.
In Interent Options, Security, Trusted sites zone, I have set "*.yahoo.com".
This is very broad, and allows a lot of the Yahoo! site hierarchy to do
things in MSIE; however, as an SBC Yahoo! DSL Service customer, this seems
prudent to allow me to access my SBC account information. BTW, the Yahoo!
sites make heavy use of JavaScript, so you have to enable "Active
Scripting" under the "Scripting" heading of the Custom menus. For MSIE you
should probably also, under the "ActiveX controls and plug-ins" menu choice,
enable the following:
Download signed ActiveX controls
Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins
Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting
Even in the Trusted sites zone I leave the two remaining ActiveX settings at
"Disabled".
In Internet Options, Privacy, Web sites..., I have set "yahoo.com" to allow
cookies.
The following only applies if you have a hosts file; not everybody has one
because it is not present in a default Windows installation; at least up to
Windows Me, that I am aware of.
Scan through the file for any domain relating to Yahoo!. Not only yahoo.com,
but yimg.com, as well. Maybe the national domains, as well, such as
yahoo.co.jp, yahoo.co.uk, and so on. Or not, as you choose, I would guess.
Along with cache and temporary folders, cookies and history, those items I
have mentioned can hamper access to Yahoo! sites, if security settings are
too high.
Oh, and this time try to keep your responses in the proper thread. Some of
us use a real news client, not the lame MSFT web thingy:
X-Newsreader: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000
It is possible to locate your old posts via the web, if you just look. Same
as my new client, in which I had to search for your old post. Although you
can't see it, my news client does appear in the message headers:
User-Agent: MicroPlanet-Gravity/2.60.2060
My client makes it easy to manage the followed threads; easier than the web
interface.
FWIW, even using MS Outlook Express to access these groups is superior to
the web access; unless you are so web oriented that anything else is
confusing.
