Does any one else have issues reading Yahoo Mail?
VL6.0 Std Seamonkey and Firefox display the list of messages but will not open the message.
Win98SE IE6 opens one message but does not allow me to move or delete it or go to the next message. I have to start over.
Vista can process the messages normally. This poses a problem, however, as this is a borrowed machine.
This issue started when they changed the url.
PS: Vista is also the only system that allows me to post here!

Doesn't surprise me at all considering the yahoo/MS alliance I hadn't heard of that but was wondering if they had climbed in bed together! Guess I have two choices: 1) Set up linux to get all my mail - only two problems with that: unable to access from other computers/locations  and haven't been able to stabilize linux on any of my computers!  2) Find another mail server.  |

Just tested it on my VL6.0 KDE-Classic B3 with Firefox 3.5.3, using the "unsupported" option.
All the basic features work; view, new, reply, create folder, drag and drop, calendar, contacts, IM.
I tried the addon apps "MyDrive" and ".io attach large files" but those produced errors.

FWIW, I have a yahoo account that I had not tried to access for ages... Just tried it and it works fine for me.
Using FF on SOHO 6.0 here.
It does complain about them not supporting my OS, but just click the link to ignore the warning and off you go.
But in all seriousness, they are in bed with M$

The Konqueror browser has a way to change the browser identification built in. You can even set it to say that you are running IE6 on XP. That might take care of the "Unsupported OS" problem. There are also add-ons for Firefox that can change the browser identification.

Just used seamonkey on VL-standard to access yahoo email account. No issues.
What about your flash version is it current.
I've seen a post recently where a VL user was having access trouble with their BankofAmerica site, they said the solved the problem by removing flash. (and installing the newer version I assume)

The issue started before I reinstalled VL because of other issues. The previous install I created a separate /usr partition and while I did install ntp and bibletime then and they stuck with the new install. I have not, otherwise, updated any files do to the complete disruption that had occurred when I did.
Will see what happens in the morning when I uninstall flash.

It appears to me that your java and flash versions are old. In order to duplicate your issue, I rolled those back to the original packages from that iso. I gathered the problems just as you described. Updated those manually to latest of each, and those issues went away. NOTE: As M0E mentioned, it does prompt you that your Operating System may not be supported. Just follow on like he mentioned, and you're in good business. |

stretchedthin: The tut already has the website minimized. I tried Google and apparently found it but froze during download like it does in Yahoo. I tried again this morning but didn't find the page that offered upgrade but did download flash_player_10_linux_dev.tar.gz. This isn't the same as the .tgz from yesterday! (Also dl'd jre_6u16_linux_i586.bin which I have no idea how to install.)
Arioco: I thought I was working with Classic - Oh! No! I tried the "new, improved" version on Vista. No wonder it doesn't work! Later, I saw I was working in Classic. Never had seen that line before!
Masta: I uograded Seamonkey in gslapt this morning but still have same issue in Yahoo. Am I on the right track or how do I update flash & java manually?
