Can not view web page

[jmosow]

I just upgraded my computer at work from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003.
I have a folder set to open http://my.yahoo.com so it shows within
Outlook. This worked great in Outlook 2000. In Outlook 2003, Outlook
seems to get stuck in a tight loop trying to open the web page. If I
click on the stop button enough, the page will stop attempting to load
the page. I have a similar folder set up to open my AOL email web
access. Any thoughts on why the Yahoo access is broken now?

TIA

It might be caused by security in Outlook blocking scripting on the yahoo
page. Which folder are you using for the folder homepage or are you using it
from Favorites or Shortcuts?

FWIW, http://my.yahoo.com works fine in my OL2003 as a folder homepage. You
might try deleting the internet cache (and maybe cookies) to see if it
helps.

Thanks for the help. I cleared out cookies/cache and all is right with
the world. FYI, I had created a folder in OL2003 and had set the URL
as the home page.
