    Yahoo mail sign in difficulties...yahoo in general
    « on: April 09, 2012, 04:49:23 PM »
    Having trouble signing into my yahoo e-mail account. When I enter name & password & click on the sign in button, absolutely nothing happens. I can sign in on different computers, so obviously it is this particular computer.

    ALSO: on this computer, we were having issues with the security certificate. The date & time was set okay.

    Seem to be having problems with yahoo in general, which is our home page. Sometimes we try to go to yahoo, and "it cannot display the page"

    We ran several security scans with: AVG & webroot. Nothing seemed to be amiss. A couple of adware removed. Still having issues. We cleared our cache & history.

    Any thoughts?? Doesn't seem to be a virus on our cpu.

    Thanks everyone.

    However, the details you provide would seem to indicate otherwise.

    You may wish to try again with a different browser. Otherwise read over some recommendations in the virus and Mal ware forum.

      OP, do all computers have the same settings for yahoo mail?
      Are you logging into the yahoo site or using a local Emil client?

      One place I saw this:
      Quote
      Incoming mail settings
      Protocol: POP Remember to set it as POP not IMAP!
      Email Address: [email protected]
      Username: [email protected]
      Password: your password
      POP server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
      Security type: SSL
      Server Port: 995

      Outgoing mail settings
      Login required: check
      Username: [email protected]
      Password: your password
      SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
      Security type: SSL
      Server port: 465
      Just trying to help.

      try booting into safemode with networking and see if you can login properly this way.
