Mail coming in

[Jeff T]

Does any other homepage besides the old "My Yahoo" show if you've got gmail
or outlook express mail coming in? I can't get "My Mail" in the new "My
Yahoo" I'd like to go back to the old "My Yahoo"

I doubt that Yahoo will show you Gmail arrivals. It only knows about
Yahoo's own mail system. You could use Gmail as a home page and see its
arrivals that way.

A web page would have no idea what Outlook Express is doing. If you
have a Yahoo email account and you have OE set up to retieve mail from
there, it may look like the page is interacting with OE, but it's not.

The new Yahoo page does indeed show new mail arrivals.

I'm sorry, I hit reply instead of reply group.


The old My Yahoo showed me mail coming in from Gmail, Outlook Express and
Yahoo. How do I get My Mail in the new My Yahoo? I can't get it from "add
content".

The Yahoo webmail interface is gotten to by clicking the envelope icon
in the upper left corner:

Some webmail services allow you to retrieve mail from other hosts such
as Google. I don't remember if Yahoo is one of those, but if it is, it
might tell you that mail has arrived from that other host.

I'm sorry, but despite what you say, I just don't believe that Yahoo
was ever aware of what Outlook Express is doing on your local computer.
OE is on the computer next to you; Yahoo is in a server somewhere out
there in cyberspace. Maybe you're confused about what Outlook Express
is - it's a program on your personal local computer that can retrieve
email from whatever email service you indicate. Yahoo is itself an
email service. You could set OE up to retrieve email from there, or you
can use their own web interface for that purpose. "Outlook Express" is
not itself an email service.

Maybe you had a web browser extension or add-on installed that
displayed email status for several email services. But I don't think it
was Yahoo, per se.
