You are absolutely right. I'm simply saying it worked for me and was
pretty easy. I don't use Yahoo, but I heard allot of people ask about
Yahoo on the Mac so I thought I'd pass it along. I am in no way a
advicate, however accessibility in either form is still accessibility.
Someone can walk with you across the street or someone can drive you.
Bottom line is you get there. Smile and rock on.

I still don't think that their solution to the captcha issue works
and it seems like it would be a lot less trouble for all concerned
if they simply implemented an audible varification system like other
sites have done.

Actually I just called them with the number they gave me less than
12 hours of filling out their online accessible form and the guy
set me up and flagged my account as being visually impaired and now
I don't have to worry about the verification process on any of
Yahoo's properties. The number is 866-458-8701

I tried to set up a yahoo account and they never responded to me.
Perhaps yahoo is accessible if you ever manage to set up an
account, though I don't think yahoo's solution to the captcha
issue works very well. They should consider implementing an audio
system like google's which lets the blind user create an account
totally indipendently.

Sorry you are right. They have a Mac client and yes you have to
leave a number and e-mail address for a rep. to contact you. I
didn't know they were horrible in getting back with their
customers. See http://messenger.yahoo.com/mac.php

Well, it doesn't, really:
1) Are we talking about a Mac Yahoo IM client, the Yahoo Web
page, or what? And
2) Exactly how does Yahoo help the blind with account
verification? If their "help" is what it's been the past several
years (Leave a phone number and maybe someone will call you
back, someday, if you're in the U.S. and plant your mandrakes
during a full moon), that isn't much help. If, on the other
hand, they've actually implemented a reasonable system, or even
a halfway reasonable system (which would be an audible CAPTCHA),
that actually would be helpful.
