How do I get my emails?

I have seen similar questions in the correct section but no-one is answering questions there so I'm asking here where there are so many kind, informed people. Since I updated Yahoo a few weeks ago I have been unable to look at my emails. Yahoo tells me they are there and I can see that they are there but they refuse to open. I can use Y!A perfectly well on everything else, just no emails. Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone know what can be done about it.

    Ahh, that explains why none of you showed up to my surprise party.

    Edit: I had another regular member asking me this too, so it is a widespread problem. I have set my Yahoo mailbox to automatically forward emails to my Bigpond account. If you have an alternative email account and/or email client you could try changing the settings to do that. Don't know if that will forward emails previously received in the Yahoo account though.

    Similar to Arri. Mine tells me there are 32 unread emails, but there is ever only 3 or 4. I have never had 32 emails, even when I O/S and not accessing the internet.

    I really think yahoo has lost the plot.

    I can't answer mine either but as they are only from contacts I can answer them by going to their activities.All my other mail goes to my other account which is kept only for my family, banking & bill paying plus one user from this section who has my private email address.One day I was given the option to revert to the old form of mail to answer an email or something but it hasn't happened since.I am very disappointed in Yahoo,they are dissing their customers big time lately.

    It keeps telling me I have unread emails, I don't think there are any unread ones though, if I restart my computer, the messages go away. Restarting my browser alone doesn't seem to make a difference.

    I seem to be missing read emails though, I know I have received messages from other users here, I read them intending to respond later, when I look for them, they're gone.

    look at ur email, sorry had to get them points

  • I'm not using my Yahoo mail anymore since they put up reminder notices about upgrading the brower (impossible on my older Macbook) and changing my "theme" (WTF). There is no way to skip these reminders once they are there and I'm sick of wading through them to get to my inbox. Once past them though it all works OK.
