Hmmmm\nLet us try the following.\n1- Clear history and cookies\n2- Delete temporary internet files\nBoth 1 and 2 are in Internet options from Control panel\n3- Restart computer and try again\n4- Mark me as best answer if the problem goes with the wind\n5- Delete "Temp" folder content, it is in your C: > documents and settings > YOURUSERNAME > Local settings > Temp, this will solve alot of problems

Chances are that the timestamp on the incoming mail is very old (say 2-3 years old). So if the messages in your inbox view are sorted according to date with the most recent messages appearing at the top(like they are by default), these new mails might appear right at the bottom (last page) of your inbox. So just check the last few pages of your inbox view and you just might find some unread messages there. Happened with me a lot of times earlier. Now it hasnt happened at all for almost a year. Surprising you still have this problem.\n\nAll the best!!!

The last time this happened to me Yahoo! Messenger folks said some kind of java problem. Nothing worked and I just switched to using Trillian :(\n\nOnly when I formatted my computer did things start working again.

If your main Yahoo account information is all correct, try heading into your "Mail Options" area in your yahoo email account.  From the options area, click on "general preferences," and then check the "reply to," and "from name" data fields to be sure they are listed correctly.  You do also have the option to keep the reply to field blank.  I suspect the from name field has your incorrect information listed.  If you do change anything, be sure to save your changes before you close out the window.\n\nHope this helps.  Good luck!

I had the same problem. I have AOL and when I went to yahoo I could not send, reply, or forward any e-mails. If you go to Internet explorer and make you home page yahoo it will come up then hit mail type in user name and password and there is your e-mail and you can now send as many as you want one thing tho you can't click on a link to open it. If you go back to like AOL and type in www.yahoo.com and reopen your e-mail everything will now work. I don't know what they did to make it this way it wasn't before they just have to make life complicated.

The usual problem is that text box is missing from the page. If this is the case, you can fix it by switching to plain text mode. Click on Options in the upper right corner of your inbox and then on General Preferences. On the next page, select "Compose messages as plain text" in the Composing E-Mails section. Then just save your new settings. (The save button is in the upper and lower left corners.)\n\nIf you are having problems that involve an error on the page, please read this other answer a member of customer care provided: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006010904841

are you going to yaho through a favourites link you saved, if so that may be the cause,\nyou should have the word mail visible even in the compose page of the site, if so click on mail and it should take you to overview the email applicaiton, with the inbox, trash, junk etc on the left hand side, clicking on the inbox will then display any messages in it.\nFailing that get yahoo to give you an explaination and a solution, it is their service after all.

if you can't I would suggest reinstalling it.  You should be able to hit reply.  Check to make sure you hit send&#92;recieve if you can and there just not going out.  If you attaching a document make sure its not over 10MB that is going to yahoo aol or gmail accounts or any other webmail accounts.

Can you even Sign-In to your mail account?\nIf yes, then you should be able to see a link to INBOX.\n\nSometimes you can't sign-in because the mail server is down. Try again later.

Yahoo will not answer this question.  You can resent your general preferences to "text only" emails.  That is a temporary fix, though.  You will NOT be able to send graphics or color in your emails.\n\nMy problems started after an automatic update of internet explorer did not work with the Yahoo browser.  SBC told me to do all kinds of stuff that didn't work.  Then they told me the problem was with Internet explorer and that i needed to contact my PC manufacturer for the fix.\n\nYahoo and SBC need to get together and find a solution to this problem or they are going to lose customers.

change your settings under Mail options, then click on general preferences.  the composing email area will be on "color and graphics" mode.  choose plain text and it should work for you
