Yahoo Mail oddness
Hello all,
I have been trying you use Yahoo Mail (UK) with Internet Explorer for the last week and a half ( I was on holiday for 2 weeks prior to that).
As soon as I log in to Yahoo mail IE tries to download the login result rather than display it! I have tried 3 other machines all with the same problem! I have tried using 2 proxies directly (colchester )
When I use Opera all is well! (no proxies) 
IE works fine at work and always used to work at home!
Any ideas?
Regards
Nigel

Re: Yahoo Mail oddness
 to Cable Forum, Nigel. I can heartily recommend that you click the little graphic in my signature  In all honesty, I think it's the best thing you can do.
As for IE, I'm afraid I can't help you there.

Re: Yahoo Mail oddness
Yahoo mail UK working fine for me, was last night at home, and right now at work.
Not had any problems with it, also using IE 6 and FireFox, both working fine with it.
Does it say what type of file it's trying to download?

Re: Yahoo Mail oddness
Ok, it is the NTL proxies that are the cause of the yahoo mail problem. Some proxies work ok, some don't.
I'd suggest you just go though a list of proxies until you find one that works. The belfast 7 one seems to be fine, for now

Re: Yahoo Mail oddness
Hmm this is getting silly!
I pick a proxy... works for a few days... then it stops!!
So I try Firefox... same problem...
But Opera still works ok?!

Re: Yahoo Mail oddness
Hi,
I have tried to login with yahoo with two different accounts.
One account works perfectly and the other brings up the download file box (It also happens on a btopenworld email account).
If I change the proxy settings both work ok.
From nchampion's post I can see it will stop working again in a few days, so what are ntl going to do about it ?
Presumably thousands of less techy people are suffering from this problem.
regards
Mike

Re: Yahoo Mail oddness
If its those damn proxies again then I'm afraid all I can suggest is having a look at www.adslguide.org for a new ISP. That's what I did

Have a look at:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d...trancache.html
Specifically the bit about 'setting a explicit web proxy in IE for Windows' (assuming you're using IE)
