You have to right click your contact, and select "block contact". If you have already done that, maybe you should try deleting them from your list.

check the email address, check with your friend to see if they have either blocked you or turned on settings to only allow messages from people in the address book.\nIf the email address is mispelled it isn't going to the right person, if they have you blocked its for some reason, and if they have it set to only allow email from address book make sure they add you to that list.

Some people don't have the time. Maybe they've changed there mind about e-mailing you. Some people are busy e-mailing other people. People have their own topics to talk about, and if yours not interesting enough then they don't want to talk back. Or another thing, they could be acting funny, or playing games. It's all in who you give your e-mail to. Some people don't like to write all the time, they are phone talkers. I hope i've helped you.

That is a very good question.  I have had people send comments reference something I posted only to find  they aren't accepting messages when trying to reply.  Usually they are "mean" comments that are sent.  I am guessing some don't have the nerve to say what they have to say and hear the reaction.

If you clean out your Ignore list, then everyone who once was ignored will no longer be that way.  In order to keep them permanently ignored, you must keep them on that list.  That's what the list is for.  ;)

Just add their email to you're messenger list and they should get an invite from you if they have messenger. Then if they wish to add you, they will click add..otherwise they could deny the request. But that would be pretty crappy. Try emailing them first and see if they have messenger and want to chat :)\n\nGood luck.

Trust no one.... Just delete them... If this is bothering you, go to messenger preferences/ignore     at the top check ignore anyone who is not on my friend list....\n\nAlso you can go to your account and check (do not show when I am online)

Go to your tools bar in internet explorer and go down to internet options. Then adjust your privacy settings to a lower setting to allow blocked cookies and such. Or check if your system has a firewall turned on. Firewalls, especially if you have norton antivirus, usually screw up instant messengers.

1. They dont have the lastest version of messenger!\n2. They have speakers off.\n3. They need to change their settings in preferences on messenger! (this one has my vote) after opening preferences scroll down to miscellaneous pick enable audibles and emoticons\nHope this helps\nG-Rob

they may also have their "online" status masked. That's something that your messenger won't be able to see or update.

Don't give your IM to people

Set certian things up so that unless this happens, this wont happen.  An example is have someone send you a message and just don't read it.  When it is read then you know someone has been there.

Most often this is caused by a mismatch of chat clients.\n\nDifferent versions of the Yahoo Messenger won't work together in some ways. He may have a completely different client.\n\nE-mail works well.

It depends on what list of friends you are referring. I have a public  friends, professional friends and a private friends, I use different accounts on different services and in one case use a restricted yahoo group to maintain separate list. \n\nThis allows me to control and share information with the different groups based on interests and to protect my identify.\n\nBTW, I found that occasionally, someone sends a message via YA, but they have not turned on the option to receive messages, so more times than not, it looks like I am ignoring them, when it simply a matter that I can not contact them.

On your Yahoo messenger "control panel", select "messenger", then "preferences", then "ignore list". When you get to the ignore list, select "ignore anyone who is not on my messenger list", then click "apply", then "ok". \n\nFrom that point, only people who already are on your messenger list will be able to im you.\n\nHave a nice day.
