Outlook window opens – email is Yahoo
Posted on November 10, 2009 under Email, Outlook Express, Yahoo | Leave a comment
My email is Yahoo. When I want to email something from the net an Outlook window opens. If I type my message in this window and hit send, I get an error message and the email goes nowhere. What do I need to do? Thanks
Jimmy
For the sake of other readers, let me take a step back and describe this issue in greater detail.
Jimmy comes across an email address on a web page. When he clicks on it, an Outlook window with the email address in the “To:” field opens. Jimmy quickly realizes that this might be a way to send email. He puts in the email subject and composes the message. Everything seems fine but when he hits the send, an error message is displayed. Probably, the Outlook window remains open which further confirms that the email hasn’t left his computer.
OK Jimmy here is what you have to do.

Yahoo account compromised: ID incorrect
Posted on November 6, 2009 under Yahoo | 4 Comments
I am told my Yahoo ID is incorrect. I’ve had the same address for over 8 years. Recently I was e-mailed that my Yahoo account may have been compromised and I needed to change my password, which I did. My machine was working fine last night and today… I can’t get into Yahoo at all. Every thing I type in is not letting me access it. Help!

It seems Lynne has been a victim of a typical phishing attack. She received an email with a distressing subject “Your Yahoo account has been compromised” and acted hastily on it. In her anguish, she must have clicked a link in the email and would have then been taken to a fraudulent web site where she entered the Yahoo ID and password.

What is Yahoo sign in seal?
Posted on September 17, 2009 under Email, Yahoo | 6 Comments
What is a Yahoo sign in seal? Is it imperative to create one for my account? If so, can I use my photo as the seal?
Harry D.
Yahoo sign in seal is a security measure meant to thwart phishing attacks (more on this below). But that’s not the only reason you should have one. You can also personalize the Yahoo login page by using your photo or the company logo as the sign in seal. Let me elaborate on these two points.
