I've had it with yahoo mail.

[chiangrai]

I've given them a month or so to fix this new version and it's only getting worse anybody recommend an email that works well with the latest Firefox.

Thanks

Gmail, Windows Live, Mail.com

[chiangrai]

Really,there all the more or less the same,especially with Firefox

[johnnynmonic]

Gmail probably slightly better than Hotmail - calendars and IMAP all sync with 3rd party programs without uneccessary geekiness. But if you're only using a browser then they're all the same.

[thrilled]

[AloisAmrein]

I agree that Yahoo mail has been crap since the 'new' version came out!!!! It seems that the same people who built the ObamaCare website, built the new Yahoo!!!! Please, please can they do something about it!!! It's such a pain to switch email a/c's!!!!

[fasteddie]

What's your problem? I use only firefox and yahoo is my primary email and haven't noticed any problems.

[Torrens54]

Firefox is just far too slow. I've all but given up on it except when nothing else is working.

I think your accusations are misdirected. I'm sure you'll find the problem is embedded in Firefox, not Yahoo. Personally I use Yahoo mail all the time and have no problems on any of my three computers.... and I love the latest version.

Some time ago I ditched Firefox and any problem that I DID have (as with other sites too) disappeared. Now I use Chrome or if problems occur, Opera.

I use Chrome with yahoo all the time with no problems at all. The new version of yahoo takes some getting used to but otherwise ok.

It is a bit difficult to complain about a free service.

As usual you get what you pay for!

Why not get your own hosting account and set up your own IMAP/POP email account.

This wIll only set you back about USD 3-5 a month.

I don't like Chrome because their addons page looks like a Mickey Mouse comic. I have addons with firefox that I can't find an equivalent for in Chrome. I imported my bookmarks to Chrome and I have a nice empty rectangle next to all my bookmark folders, meaning that half of them have disappeared off screen.

Anyway, why don't you get yourself a gmail address and tell Yahoo to direct all your emails to that address? That's what I did years ago and with time I am getting less and less mail from Yahoo, spam stays there.

Me too! I've tried on multiple browsers and systems, but I can't change inbox pages or select and delete messages on two yahoo accounts.

There's always the below gobbledy gook in the accounts.

Yahoo is terrible, went from the best email to the worst, I agree looks like the same people that did Obamacare. I am happy to switch, I use Chrome and want something compatible Chrome that I can import my 3,000 contacts and my groups or categories, any suggestions?

If you want to keep your yahoo email account but don't want to use the interface, you could try an email client linked to the yahoo account. I use Thunderbird email client from Mozilla and very happy with it.

Last time I used an email client with Yahoo! Mail was back when they offered POP mail for free - about 10 years ago!. When then started asking money to use POP mail on email clients by upgrading to Mail Plus I gave up and went to Gmail. Has anything changed since??

[chiangrai]

ChatterRat,

I'm getting the hang of it.

I'm also beginning to see how sophisticated a mail option it is.

I may have more questions tomorrow but for now thank you for saving me the hassle of changing my e mail address

[chiangrai]

O.K,

I've had someone send me a mail and haven't received it.

I also need to arrange my inbox according to the date sent.

Until then it's not much use

You need to cleanup ff every so often. I use a ton of add-ins, every 6 months or so I have to re-install, I regularly try out new ones but when they're removed ff doesn't seem to clean it up well.

Just did it a few days ago, ff startup went from 15 sec to 3.

Installed add-ons one by one, no noticable performance hit, but after putting in my huge bookmarks collection and scrapbook it's up to six seconds, I can live with that. With all the mods and tweaks I have it'll be tough to adjust to just a plain ol' browser. I'll miss scrapbook when they let it go obsolete.

I use gmail, and recently started a new policy: I have the portableapps of version of chrome I use just for gmail, the way we used to have a separate mail tool. I have all the google privacy stuff tightened up, but I have little trust in the likes of google (or any of these entities). No more logging into the google-sphere from my workhorse browser. Every so often gmail asks me to give them my phone number for my own good -- yeah, right. Notices like that remind me to keep on my toes.

Yahoo has different rules in different countries. You may have a better chance of creating a yahoo account without already having an email address in a SEA country, whereas in the US they insist on one (or at least did a few months ago last time I tried). Also they want $$ to forward your email to outside of yahooland, but I recall setting this up while in Malaysia for no cost. I also recall yahoo mail not rendering its pages properly in ff sometimes, I think it's written for IE.
