Yahoo mail question

[elaby]

Brain broke from Zelda again. @_@

I have a question for anyone else who uses Yahoo! Mail Beta. Just the other day, it started giving me pop-up warnings every time I replied to an LJ comment via the e-mail notifications. These warnings say that Yahoo will never ask for my passwords, etc. etc., you are transferring information to a third-party source blah blah whatever. They also say that if I don't want to see this message again, I should change my preferences.

Well, how the hell do I GET to my preferences? I've looked everywhere I can think to look, and I can't find anything like it. I've looked under Options-->Mail Options and I can't find it there (most of that is Under Construction, in fact) and changing things in my Firefox preferences does nothing, because I think this is a Yahoo feature. Anyone know how to make these messages go away?

caitirin comes home tomorrow! YAYAYAYAY!

Also, BBC Robin Hood = SO MUCH LOVE. _melisande_ really supplies me with the good stuff.

Also, for musically-inspired reasons I'm tempted to quote Ulalume again, but instead, I'll just point you to the last time I did that.

I tried to use the yahoo mail beta when it was first available and after a couple of weeks of it being a total disaster, I went back. It lost mail (from and to), garbled messages (e.g., only sending part, or losing random lines), had some sort of highly random message-saving strategy (like, some of my sent mail would be in the sent folder, some not, with no apparent relationship to the lost from messages--some of them got saved despite not going anywhere, and some not), and took ages to (not) work.

Maybe it's better now? But I am leeeeery of it.

Heh.

That's REALLY weird O.o I haven't had any trouble at all with it besides being confused when they move the darn buttons around. I had no idea it did such funky things to some people. No wonder you're leery!

I get the same @%#! pop-up warnings (using old skool Y!Mail), and there seems to be a setting which is supposed to address this under Options --> General Preferences in the Messages section:

Security:
[ ] Block HTML graphics in email messages from being downloaded
[ ] Warn me about sending information outside Yahoo!

I have neither one of these checked, yet I still get the @%#! pop-up warnings. You might have better luck, though, under Y!Mail Beta.

that option no longer seems to exist under Y!MB

it's really annoying.

AND they moved the delete button, to where the 'reply' button used to be. Who moves UI stuff like that? Madness.

[elaby.livejournal.com]

Seriously! In my version, at least, the delete button was originally where the reply button was in non-Beta, and now that they've moved it back, I'm even more confused because I'd just gotten used to it >_<

I couldn't find that option, like you, but I was hoping it existed somewhere. Damn.

Thanks! I'll look for that. Hopefully it'll do something.

Can't help you on the Yahoo stuff because I haven't changed to the Beta version yet. I figure if it ain't broke, don't fix it, especially with my stupid brain lately.

Give caitirin hugs from me, and say hi to stereo grandmas. :)

I'm looking forward to BBC Robin Hood coming out on DVD.

I really love Poe, and you pick the best, most obscure stuff.

D'aww ^_^ I'll say hi to everyone and give Caitirin hugs :)

I have all of Robin Hood so far on tape that you can borrow once Caitirin sees the episodes she hasn't seen yet :) Or, at least, I have nine episodes and I can give you the first six so I can give back the second tape to have more taped on by this Friday *laughs*

I've caught a few of the episodes of the new Robin Hood series and that is such a crack-filled show. Crack of many and varied types. Amusing, to say the least.

[elaby.livejournal.com]

SO full of crack! Delicious crack! It's just up my alley - silly and dramatic and heroic, not so serious that it makes you depressed, but serious enough that you get invested in everyone.

mmm Elaby post! *grabby fists*

You are SO cute.

'Also, BBC Robin Hood = SO MUCH LOVE.'

Really? Because it is so easy to get burned with Robin Hood things but if it's good then that's awesome!

[elaby.livejournal.com]

It's VERY good, but not if you're expecting historical realism in any way. It's a really fun, enjoyable show, though.
