What security is there with Yahoo-mobile (Wifi) as compared to regular internet Yahoo mail?
143585
Security should be the same for both email products (Mobile / Internet mail).  Screen presentation is the major difference.  Yahoo mobile is optomized for small screens + simple devices, like the New Treo 700W Smartphone.  Typically bandwidth/network throttle (like the number of lanes on your state highway) is limited.  Service providers like Yahoo want to improve your mobile experience by formatting the screen & trimming down the code.   Hope this helps!

But if you decide to switch back to Beta again, then you simply go to the Options tab (on the upper right corner), there would be a purple button there to Try Yahoo Beta again. This process is reversible and should not affect your email. So don't you worry about losing you emails.=D

No;\n\nWhen using Yahoo! Mail your browser sends data to the Yahoo! servers. So Yahoo! server can [and should] know your IP. But the one who view the messages will not be able to get the IP.\n\nWant to hide your IP? Use a proxy server with a app like "ProxyWay". Google  "proxy ProxyWay" to find out more...

You need not need that, Yahoo already uses Symantec Antivirus solutions, so youn are secure my default. If you want to still scan your attachments, you can do so. Simply download the attachment from your Yahoo account, and scan with your antivirus engine

Regular, free Yahoo membership which 90% of the world has, does not provide any virus or malware protection.\n\nBut since your ISP, AT&T, has partnered with Yahoo, you  get some free extras including an anti-virus app.\n\nInfo is here:\nhttp://promo.yahoo.com/att/surf_safely.html\n\nOf course, you as the computer owner, are responsible to install these apps yourself, they just won't magically appear on your computer!\n\nGood luck.

It depends on the mail service provider. If its a free service, its difficult as you have unmatched the security question. If its a paid mail, you contact the administrator or webmaster who can help you.\n\nCheers\n\nShaba!

This simply is not the case. Both Yahoo and Hotmail have security in place specifically designed to stop this kind of attack. Yahoo requires that you enter a random code into an additional field provided as well as the UN and PW after 16 failed login attempts. Failure to enter the correct code will result in a failure to log into the account, even if the Username and Passwrods are correct. Hotmail has a different security feature which sends the user to a "lockout" page, which has NO field to enter the Username or Passwords after just one failed attempt.\nWhile there are programs that claim to be able to hack hotmail, yahoo or egold, all they really seem to be are specialized keyloggers and trojans that send the info from a targets computer. The question is then, if you can get a target to download / run a program, then why would you only steal their email account nformation? Why not simply take control of the whole thing?\nSolution ??\n# Think.\n# Scan often.\n# Look for potential problems, dont wait for them to find you.\n# Use case sensitive alphanumeric PWs at least 8 characters long and use symbols like @, #, $ whenever able!!!\nThat should help!!!\nAbhishek
