Yahoo every time i try to access my inbox and then reply to an email i get the message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" then evrything freezes

Features available through Yahoo! Mail include unlimited storage, the ability to view photos and videos from your inbox and the ability to send 50 files or 100MB worth of attachments in a single email.

You can also access Yahoo!'s instant messaging software from your inbox and check email on your mobile phone and other Internet-enabled devices.

Before signing up for Yahoo! mail, check its compatibility with your version of Internet Explorer.Standard Yahoo! Mail


Yahoo! Mail's standard interface works with Internet Explorer 7 and higher. However, Internet Explorer 7 users may be unable to use the reply bar, slideshows or Yahoo! Messenger from their inbox.

To access these features, use at least Internet Explorer 9. All Internet Explorer users must have Windows 7, XP or Vista to use the standard form of Yahoo! mail. Mac operating systems using Internet Explorer are not supported by the current version of Yahoo! Mail.
Older Option


Users who want to use Yahoo! Mail Classic will find it compatible with Internet Explorer 6, as well as newer versions of the browser.

Yahoo! announced to customers in July 2011 that it would soon stop supporting Internet Explorer 6. Yahoo! Mail Classic works with Windows 2000, XP and Vista, as well as Windows 7.

Yahoo! Mail Classic lacks many of the upgrades found in the current version of the email program.

Upgrades
While Yahoo! Mail supports older versions of Internet Explorer, the company recommends that users upgrade to the most current version.

Yahoo! says using the newest browser software provides more speed and added protection against viruses and software.
Enabling ActiveX

If you plan to use the current version of Yahoo! Mail on a Windows machine, you'll want to enable your computer's ActiveX controls so you can access all the features of the email program.

To do this, go to the "Tools" menu or the gear symbol in Internet Explorer, then select "Internet Options" and "Security."

Click on "Internet," then "Custom Level."
Scroll down to "Run ActiveX Controls and Plugins" and "Script ActiveX Controls Marked Safe for Scripting." Enable each of these options and save your settings.

Reboot Internet Explorer.

Good Day Katherine!

Uninstall and reinstall a new updated internet explorer 8 will solve the problem. But u can use diffrent browsers also like Mozilla Firefox 4 beta or Google crome.

I assume that you are using Yahoo Mail. On your internet explorer address bar type www.yahoo.com when the site open choose yahoo mail from the list of links on the left. The mail login page open, enter your yahoo ID and password. Your mail should open at this point, choose inbox to see the mails you have. To send a new mail, from your inbox choose new, enter the address of the person you want to send the mail to and then the subject. Type your message and click the send to send the mail.

To reply a mail sent to you, open the mail, click on reply or just press "r" type your message and the click send.

try mozilla firefox or anyother browser or update your internet explorer

Try optimizing your Internet browser. Here's how:

* For Internet Explorer:
1. Run Internet Explorer and click on 'Tools' menu.
2. Go to Internet Options and locate the Browsing History section.
3. Click the 'Delete' button and delete the Temporary Internet Files, Cookies and History.
4. Close the Internet Explorer and re-open it.
5. Access your e-mail.

* For Mozilla Firefox:
1. Run Firefox and hit 'Tools' menu.
2. Go to 'Clear Recent History' and click the drop-down arrow for 'Time range to clear'.
3. Select 'Everything' and then hit the 'Clear Now' button.
4. Close and re-open Firefox
5. Access your e-mail.

Maybe you can work around this problem by using Windows Live Mail, it lets you access all of your email addresses on one page, Also when you set it up, you just have to enter the email address and it automatically sets up the rest, works pretty good.
Not sure about the website thing though.

Try Emptying your temporary folders and cookies (etc...)

I have a similar problem and was unable to get into the inbox or sent items. You can get access to your mail by following the link below.

This is the second time Yahoo Mail has gone haywire since October 2008 and they really ought to get their act together.

You may have problems replying from the above link though. I would recommend you try another email address to reply, that is if the reply is important.

Good luck.
