Willy, thanks a lot. I'll get on it 1st think in the morning. It's so frustrating because it's been working with my old Yahoo account for a long time.
Yep.
When one of the extensions that has been working fine daily, suddenly quits working (after several tries, over time), I've learned that is a clue that something has changed on the other end. Hotmail changed something... Yahoo changed something....
Then there is a lag time while the Webmail developer figures it out and publishes a new update that fixes it.
If you
know that it is not your fault, then it is only half as frustrating.
That's why I like to check those sources..... if I'm not the only one with the new problem, then it quickly becomes apparent.
Thanks again.
You're welcome.
If, after you've had time to go there, read, and decide what you want to try next - you happen to get yours working again, please do post back with whatever you did. It might help somebody else reading along here.
I think... not sure.... that if you try the latest beta release of the Yahoo extension, and experiment with going to the Yahoo website and entering your email account that way, there you can change your account back and forth between some sort of 'new' Yahoo and 'classic' Yahoo email. Then you match that with a setting within the config of the Yahoo extension.
Sorry that I can't be more clear - best to read it for yourself rather than my interpretation.
So far, it works for me. I hesitate to say more, because I don't use that account much at all.
Now, using T-Bird, it will log in and report no new mail, instead of failing.
I did send myself one test message, and it did download that. However, it also re-downloaded the little bit of old mail sitting there again. This was a one time thing... so far. In other words, it has not re-downloaded that old mail over and over again, it just did it the first time I used it (the new version of Yahoo extension)
I have sent myself a test email, using T-Bird with Yahoo. It worked.
That is the extent of my testing though.
Keep us posted on your results.
