I just set a an e-mail address with yahoo, now how to I login to check it?

there are 2 issues:

- Browser keeps your password in YOUR PC
In order to delete them, pls tell me what is your browser. (Normally if you go to settings / security you will be able to unset this option)

- You have selected in yahoo "keep me signed in" so you instructed yahoo to set cookies in your browsed so as to "know" your password and login in automatically.
In order to resolve this, just unclick this option at the login screen of yahoo.

check the settings,some spam/virus can change the settings of your mail and set them into "forward all mails directly to some other address".
if all settings are in good condition change your yahoo password and re login, send test mail to yourself and all done.

vote me if found helpfull.

We can't do that because only you know the details regarding your password (old and new) and your email address.

What you can do is go to Yahoo! Mail login page, type in your username and click "Forgot Password"

After filling out the required information, Yahoo! will then give you a new password which will be sent to your alternative e-mail address.

Go to Yahoo mail again and use your email address to login. And then go to your security settings and change that password to any password you want.



Thanks for using Fixya!

Troubleshooting tips

If you still can’t send Yahoo! Mail from your mail program, you may be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port. If this is the case, try setting the SMTP port number to 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server.

Your email program gives you the option of either deleting your Yahoo! messages from the Yahoo! server after downloading them into your mail reader, or leaving them on the Yahoo! server so you can see them online in your Yahoo! account, too.
