I don't know why the problem of not being able to log into Yahoo email accounts exists, but you're not alone. If you know that the problem is not you entering an incorrect user name or password, there is a work-arround to get into Yahoo mail. And, it takes less than 5 minutes to set it all up.
Every time I've recommended this solution to someone for their Yahoo Mail problem, it's worked.
The easiest way to sign into your Yahoo email account is to use Firefox as your browser and download the Webmail notifier add-on for Firefox.
With the click of a mouse, you'll be sent directly to your Yahoo email page without having to manually sign in to Yahoo.
Click here for Firefox download:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4490To add Webmail Notifier it to your Firefox toolbar:
1) Right click in an empty area on your TOP toolbar in Firefox and select, 'Customize.' (A window with icons will open.)
2) Locate and drag the envelope icon to your upper toolbar and click, 'Done'.
3) Once the envelope is seated on the toolbar, right click on the envelope icon and choose, 'Options'. (A window will open.)
4) Select, Yahoo from the drop down menu.
5) Type in your full email address in the 'User Name' box.
6) Type in your Yahoo mail password in the password box.
7) Click, Add
8) Make sure 'Enable Login' is checked that the bottom.
9) Click, OK.
Now, when you want to go to your Yahoo email just click on the little envelope icon and you'll be sent straight to your email page in Yahoo.
- I forgot to add, the envelope will be gray when you don't have any unread emails, but turns yellow when you do.
