I have a 5 year old Gateway Profile II using Windows XP home.  My 'new' email from Yahoo gives me error messages saying I need JavaScript to read and use email.  How can I add JavaScript to my machine?  OR, how can I get Yahoo Email to revert to the older version?

JavaScript is part of your web browser.  If you tell us what you're using (probably Internet Explorer or Firefox), someone can tell you what to do.\n\nIt could be complicated by a firewall, or any software with the word "Norton" in its name.\n\n(edit...)\n\nBut don't be misled.  Java and JavaScript are two entirely different, separate, and unrelated things.  To access Yahoo email you will need JavaScript turned on; you will not need Java, and it will not help you to update it.

You could also:\ngo to yahoo.com\nmake sure that your internet screen isn't maximized and that you can see your desktop.  \nDrag the link for yahoomail to your desktop.  \nRename it to whatever you want from what they call it.

If you are a Yahoo Mail Plus subscriber (paid email) you can activate it by click on the "Try it now" underneath your mail capacity bar.  Otherwise, you'll need to sign up on the wait list by going to this link:\nhttp://whatsnew.mail.yahoo.com/\n\nKeep in mind that it is still a beta version which means it’s still in development and being actively debugged.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day!

Yahoo has been having trouble all over the place since they introduced the new beta e-mail version. It is slow and buggy as hell. Even after switching back, I now have to repeatedly hit the refresh button to get past the error messages generated trying to access mty account. You can also hit the back button repeatedly and go absolutely nowhere.\n\nReally hope SOMEONE GOT FIRED...

You're lucky! But so are everyone else who use e-mail. You don't have to be using your personal computer at home to be able to access your e-mail. This is because your e-mail is not stored in your home PC, but in any of the numerous server systems of your mail company, like hotmail, yahoo! etc. When you view your mail at your home, what actually happens is that you download the mail from the server computer located elsewhere into your PC. It goes without saying that you can do the same from any country, any PC provided it has an internet connection.\n\nIt seems that you use an e-mail client like Outlook Express at your home. Don't worry if you cannot find the client at a different place. Just log onto the website of the company (like http://www.yahoo.com for Yahoo! Mail) and you can sign into your mai account.

Probably when you click on the link in the email, it is trying to open up in a new window. That is not being permitted because you have a pop up blocker installed on the computer. \n\nNext time when you click on the links, keep the CTRL key (key on the bottom left on your keyboard). Keep it pressed until the new page opens up.\n\n\nHope that solves the problem.

It sounds like you may have something on your computer that is disabling or hindering javascript from running.  \n\nI disabled javascript on my pc and tried to login.  But, I was redirected to a page letting me know that they needed javascript to run or that I could use the "old version."\n\nNonetheless, you may want to check the settings of your web browser and see if anything that should be enabled is disabled.

I'm having the exact same problem.  I've tried multiple browsers, I've made sure Java was updated, nothing works.  It's not your system, it's Yahoo's fault, but their customer service is worthless, there's nothing we can do. For anyone who hasn't bought it yet, please don't buy it.

Yaho used to have a little tool available seperately to do this but you should find it still included with either the download for the yahoo messenger or yahoo toolbar.\n\nWhen you install one of those, there may be an option to ake yahoo your default mail.\n\nIf not, what it does still do is add yahoo's webmail as a possible mail application.\n\nAll you need do is open IE and go to Tools/internet options in the menu\n\nwhen the options panel opens, select the programs tab and you will see a 'e-mail' application selector. by default it is set to outlook express however after installing the yahoo toolbar, yahoo mail should have been added to the possible program options. all you need do is select that instead of outlok and save the settings.\n\nThere should be a way of doing it without installing the messenger or toolbar as all windows mail and news apps but dont know that route.

Real simple answer:  the fools at Yahoo are trying to get the new home page, beta mail and photomail to work with each other.  They're tweaking the systems and we users are suffering these warnings, alerts and error messages.

When you upgraded, did you change providers?  Some providers use SPAM filters in different ways.  Check you SPAM folder and see if that is where your email is.  If you have YAHOO email, there is a SPAM folder there too.  Nothing to do with a speed upgrade or a router/hub would effect your emails.  It could only be your provider filtering them, or an email setting on your email client.

Have you checked to see if there is an updated version of the "bigfix" program - you really don't want to uninstall IE7 if you can possibly avoid it - too many SYSTEM-WIDE security upgrades brought about by installing IE7 to neglect by reverting to IE6 (yes, even if you never use Internet Explorer to surf the web).\n\nGet on the phone and chase up Gateway - if they haven't yet updated their software to be compatible with IE7 then this is simply not good enough - they've had plenty of time to do so by now

Go to your email options/settings: point to the following servers\n\nYahoo!\n* IMAP: imap.next.mail.yahoo.com (incoming)\n* SMTP: smtp.next.mail.yahoo.com (outgoing)\n* You will need to enter your Yahoo! ID and password to sign into Yahoo!\n\nGmail\n(outgoing) = smtp.gmail.com\n(incoming) = pop.gmail.com\nports = (993/995)\nsecure login = off

Log in to your Yahoo Mail account. Near the top on the right there is a link "Options". Click on that link and then on "Pop Access and Forwarding" That explains how to set up your mail program to get your Yahoo Mail. It is a great way to use it. I use Outlook for my Yahoo Mail and it is so much easier and faster than the HTML mail.
