Hmm, actually I'd never thought this post would survive because my first post is a bit harsh... Anyway, I've tried the suggestions.
1) I can't really find that GZIP setting. The only one I see is network.http.accept-encoding which is set to gzip,deflate, but I doubt if that's the one which I should change. And if so, I don't know what it should be then. 2) I've changed the timeout. it used to be 100, it's now set to 300. Results: It is still NOT working. Both Yahoo and Hotmail now respond with Negative Vibes. B.T.W.: I just don't believe that the above mentioned settings make any difference. It's all over the forum that both Yahoo and Hotmail are generally not working. It must be some weird coincidence that the GZIP setting and timeout make the difference. Anyway, I'm willing to give that GZIP setting another try, what should it be?
