Comments on: More ways to get to Yahoo! Mail http://www.ymailblog.com/blog/2008/03/more-ways-to-get-to-yahoo-mail/ The latest scoop on Yahoo! Mail product updates, new releases, bug fixes, Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:13:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Tim Roberge http://www.ymailblog.com/blog/2008/03/more-ways-to-get-to-yahoo-mail/comment-page-1/#comment-31861 Tim Roberge Sat, 12 Apr 2008 15:32:01 +0000 http://ymailupdates.com/blog/2008/03/26/more-ways-to-get-to-yahoo-mail/#comment-31861 I could not find any specific post to comment about a potential issue with the way Yahoo! Email handles FORWARDING of email attachments. Has anyone experienced that when forwarding attachments to other apps (like Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook, SharePoint etc) the attachment file name is truncated - and with some apps the attachment is not even recognized. However, when composing a NEW Yahoo! email and attaching files everything is cool. Problem only seems to happen when FORWARDING attachments that are part of an existing email. I have tested FORWARDING with Gmail and Hotmail - they do not seem to have this issue that Yahoo! email seems to have. Trying to work with Yahoo help center via email is pointless (after about 10 emails going in circles I quit – they always seem to respond with the same form letter and not reading anything I have submitted) – and calling the center keeps you on hold for hours (after 3 hrs I gave up) - I am trying this blog to see if anyone knows anything about this and seeking advice or assistance. If this is not the proper forum for this please point me to where I should go. Anyone?? I could not find any specific post to comment about a potential issue with the way Yahoo!

Lately, I have noticed that whenever I click onto my yahoo account I can't seem to navigate into my mailbox to reply, delete, etc. any further than the view screen. Other Yahoo mailbox options that I attempt to use also fail. What do I need to check to fix this problem. I know it must be my computer since I can easily access my yahoo account and its' full range of options when I use another computer. I have another mailbox account with aol and don't have this problem. Thanks Hi,
