Problem with accessing and sending mail from yahoo account

Hi

E-mail accounts are usually hacked in 3 ways:

A weak or easy to guess password

Opening attachments in malicious e-mails containing spyware

Keylogger spyware infection on your computer that logs your keyboard strokes

The disclosure of the password.

Report it to Yahoo support by selecting forgotten Username and password on the login page, answer security questions that only you should know the answers to. Then ask them to block the account.

Then open a new account with a different username and take care of its security by creating a strong password that nobody can guess, never revealing it to anybody.

Also, never open attachments in e-mails from anybody you do not recognize.

Protect your computer as well as you can and scan it regularly for malware

I hope this helps.

Ymail is part of Yahoo Mail. In order to provide users with more combinations for email addresses, Yahoo introduced another email extension called Ymail. Ymail accounts look like [email protected]. Ymail allows users whose desired email address was already taken to create their desired address and still have all the same features as Yahoo Mail. Accessing a Ymail account is quick and easy and can be done from any web browser.


1. Create a Ymail account, if you don't already have one. Open a browser window and type "http://mail.yahoo.com" and click "Sign Up" under "Don't Have a Yahoo ID?" section.
Fill in the appropriate information in each blank in section 1. This section is for your name, gender, birthday and location.
In section 2, choose a Yahoo ID/email address. In the drop down box beside the email address text box, choose "ymail.com." Press "Check" to see if the email address is available. If it's not available for use, choose another address, but keep the "ymail.com" domain the same.
Choose two security questions in section 3. This are necessary in case you forget your password. The alternate email address is optional.
Type in the security code at the bottom of the screen and press "Create My Account."

2. Open a browser window and type "http://mail.yahoo.com" to access the Ymail login screen.

3.Type your full email address in the "YahooID" box. Be sure to include the "@ymail.com" or the address will not be recognized. Using the full address distinguishes Ymail accounts from Yahoo or Rocketmail accounts.

4. Type your password in the "Password" box. Your password is case sensitive. Press "I Can't Access My Account" if you've forgotten your password. You can either have the password sent to another email address or change it altogether after answering the security questions you set up during the account creation process.

5. Press "Sign In" to access the Ymail account.

If you still can't send Yahoo! Mail from your email program, you might be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port. If this is the case, try using port 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. To make this change:

From the Tools menu, select Account Settings. The Account Settings dialog box appears.
Select your Yahoo! Mail Plus account and click Properties. The Change E-mail Account dialog box appears.
Click More Settings. The Internet E-mail Settings dialog box appears.
Click the Advanced tab.
In the Outgoing Server (SMTP) box, type 587.
Click Apply, and then click OK to close the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box.
Click Close to close the Account Settings dialog box.

YOUR COMPUTER OR WHATEVER ELECTRONIC DEVICE YOU HAVE, HAS AN OPERATING SYSTEM (SOFTWARE), THAT ALLOWS YOU TO ACCESS THE WEB.
THE WEB BROWSER CAN BE ANY ONE OF MANY THAT IS INSTALLED ON YOUR DEVICE.
LIKE: YAHOO, GOOGLE, FIREFOX, ETC
OPEN YOUR WEB BROWSER FIRST, THEN TYPE IN YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT THAT YOU ARE SIGNED UP FOR, LIKE: yahoo or juno or hotmail or whatever IN THE SEARCH AREA OF YOUR WEB BROWSER. IT WILL SHOW YOU AN EMAIL OPTION TO CLICK ON. CLICK ON IT TO GO TO YOUR TYPE ACCOUNT YOU ARE USING. THEN TYPE IN YOUR USER ID AND YOUR PASSWORD, THEN YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT WILL OPEN.
THEN YOU WILL SEE 'INBOX' OR 'MAIL' OR SOMETHING TELLING YOU A NUMBER BESIDE IT. THIS IS HOW MANY EMAILS YOU HAVE. MOUSE CLICK ON THIS TO OPEN AN EMAIL.
THATS IT. - - YOU GOT IT!

In case of a hacked account send a mail describing your problem to [email protected]. If this doesn't help, call Yahoo: 1-408-349-1572 (personal account) and 800-318-0783 (business account), explain to a customer service person what happened. They will ask you to do certain things and then they compare your original info with the changed info. Within 24 hrs you should get your account back!

I cannot restore my computor back to september i have tried everyting i know

1. Click Options in the upper-right corner of the page and select Mail Options.
2. Under “Management”, click Mail Addresses.
3. Click Add.
4. In the box, enter an account name for your own reference (for example, Work or School) …and click Continue.
5. There would be two boxes: In the first one, put the name you’d like others to see when they get email from this address. In the second one, type the Email address you’d like send from – from within Yahoo! Mail! (You’ll be asked to verify this other address in an email we will send to you there.) Click Continue.
6. Do you want to be able to check email in this account from your Yahoo! account as well? (You can check your mail in clients like Outlook and Eudora, but currently you won’t be able to check mail in other webmail accounts with providers like Hotmail, Gmail or Yahoo. You can send from these other addresses from within Yahoo! Mail.)
1. If yes, (you want to check mail in your Outlook or Eudora or similar client), skip to step 9.
2. If no, you don't want to check mail in this account, you just want to be able to SEND from it from inside your Yahoo! account. Click Skip this Step at the bottom of the Add Account page and continue to step 7.
7. On the page that opens, check to make sure you’ve entered the correct email address. If you need to make any changes, click Edit Address. If it looks fine, click Send Verification to generate the email we send to you to make sure this is an actual account you use.
8. The “Verify Account” page opens. Here’s the easiest way to complete your setup and start sending mail from the new address:
1. Leave this "Verify Account" page open.
2. In a different browser window or application, sign into your other Mail account.
3. Look for an email from Yahoo! Member Services, and open it.
4. Copy the “confirmation code” in the last line of the email by either double-clicking it or clicking and dragging over it, then either clicking Copy from the Edit menu or pressing Ctrl + “c”. (Mac users press Command + “c”.)
5. Get back on the “Verify Account” page and Paste that confirmation code in the box beside “Confirmation Code:” …You can paste by clicking Paste in the Edit menu, or by pressing Ctrl + “v”. (Mac users press Command + “v”.)
6. At the bottom of the page, click Verify Account.
7. A sign-in page opens with your ID already filled in. Sign in with your password.
8. You’re done. See the new account in the list on your Mail Accounts page? Now you can easily send from it by opening a Compose page, clicking the down-arrow on the end of the “From:” box, and clicking the new account in the pull-down list of email addresses. People receiving the message will see it as being sent from that address.
9. OK, so you also want to be able to check email in this other account from your Yahoo! Mail account? No problem. On the page you’re looking at, enter that account’s mail server name (currently, only POP mail servers are supported). It will be something like pop.goestheweasel.com. To find out what it is, either search that application’s Help pages for “POP” or “server” (or both), or contact that email provider directly.
10. Next, type your user name for that account and the password. This is completely confidential! Nobody has access to this information, but Yahoo! Mail needs it to check the account. Note: Your user name is the text in your email address before the "@" symbol.
11. We thought a good way to identify mail from different accounts would be to give it a different color in your Yahoo! Inbox. So that’s what this last part is about: pick an indicator color to mark messages received from this account.
12. Click Setup Mail Server. You should now be looking at the “Verify Account” page. Go back to Step 7 to hopskotch your way through account verification. Once that’s done, you can do it all from Yahoo! Mail – check mail in that account and send mail from that account.

Note: Yahoo! Mail only retrieves messages from your external (POP) mail accounts when you request it. Do this by clicking the other account’s server name in the upper-left corner of the page under “Check Other Mail”.

Yahoo does not allow to POP emails or configure account in outlook with free email address. After you upgraded to Yahoo Plus follow the steps below

Open your Incredimail page upper above on the menu bar click the down arrow send/receive > Select your yahoo account if necessary click inbox

or

1.From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."

2.Click on the email account you wish to modify and click the
Properties button.

3.Click the "Servers" tab.

4.Under Outgoing Mail Server, check the box next to "My Server Requires Authentication."

5.Click the Settings button.

6.Ensure that Use same settings as my incoming mail server is selected.

7.Click OK to close the dialog box.

8.Click OK, then Close on the Mail Accounts window.

Enable SMTP server authentication for these email clients:

Hello laurenloscia

alot of the times, just going into internet options and setting everything to default, and clearing the cookies and files works about 50% of the time.

This is possibly a yahoo issue. If you use yahoo thru ATT, you can call ATT for support and they will escalate any valid issues to yahoo for you.

Their phone number is 1-877-722-3755

ask for tech support at the prompt

they can remote on your computer to see if it is a java issue or whatever

if they can replicate it on their computer also, they will create a yahoo trouble ticket and give you thier member service number. Yahoo resolves 85% of these within 48 hrs.

If they cant replicate it, then they will consider it a pc issue and refer you to connect tech or to best buy's geek squad.

Personally, I would also try sending emails in safemode, If you can do it in safemode, and not in reg mode, it is definately PC related.

To get to safemode, turn your computer off and when you turn it back on, tap the F8 button until you get an advanced screen. Pick safemode with networking with the arrow keys. Log in, click yes when it tells you you're running in safemode, and then when your on your desktop, which will look alot differnt, black background with big icons, click on internet explorer and go to mail.yahoo.com and see if it works now, if it does, like i said, its pc related. If it still cant, call ATT's support if you have thier DSL or U-Verse
