Your session has expired-often?
For years I have been able to keep my Yahoo mail session open for the usual two weeks. Just last week the session expiration note comes up all the time, even when I am in the middle of writing an email. I thought I knew how this worked but it does appear that my cookies are not blocked and I deleted the yahoo cookies in case they were corrupted. This happens both in Firefox and IE. Any suggestions? Thanks.

The sign in status is maintained in the cookies. Since you say it occurs in both Firefox and IE it is strange. They each have their own cookies. I would check the settings.
For IE - "tools ↬ internet options ↬ browsing history ↬ settings ↬ view files"
Cookies start with "cookie..."
"Tools ↬ internet options ↬ privacy" controls when IE should save cookies.
For Firefox - tools ↬ options ↬ privacy
Then depending on what the drop down menu displays...
"Never remember history" - there are no cookies
"Custom settings" - click on show cookies
"Remember history" - click on remove individual cookies (this just shows them unless you specifically delete from the list)
Also make sure you do not have an anti spyware program that is deleting the cookies.

Is it possible you have an email app open on your phone ?
Or someone else has access to your email ?
