This is a new question, but related (I think). On Feb 9, 2014, I
"upgraded" to the newest SeaMonkey. Now my Yahoo e-mail doesn't
work. It works fine on Firefox. If anyone can help, I would
appreciate it. Most of my bookmarks, etc., are on SeaMonkey, and I
would have to redo my Firefox ones if I switch to that as my primary
browser. THANK YOU!
Begin by telling us whether you're talking about downloading POP mail to
your computer or using a webmail. Since Firefox is a browser, I assume
you mean webmail "isn't working," whatever that means.
In that case, it's probably a login and/or cookie issue. When you try to
login, if Yahoo clears the form and starts over, you're not accepting
their cookies. If it rejects your username/password, you need to supply
the correct ones.
To accept cookies for a particular site, do Tools | Cookie Manager and
choose your preferred option (Use Default Cookie Permissions, Allow
Session Cookies from This Website, Allow Cookies from This Website). The
"default" option will work if your default is to accept cookies.
If you can get in but some features of the Yahoo webmail don't work as
expected, post back with details ("doesn't work" isn't enough to go on)
and ask the experts for more advice.
If we're talking about POP mail with Thunderbird, not Firefox, sit down
with lists of the account settings in the two programs and find the
difference(s). For example, if one account has port 25 and the other has
port 110, you could get different results.
In SeaMonkey, the two places you need to look are:
1) If you can't send mail:
Edit | Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings | <AccountName> | Server
Settings, where <AccountName> is whatever you call the Yahoo account.
Check server name, port, user name, connection security, authentication
method
2) If you can't receive mail:
Edit | Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings | Outgoing Server (SMTP)
If you have more than one SMTP server listed, choose the one listed at
the bottom of Edit | Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings | <AccountName>.
Check server name, port, connection security, authentication method
