My first reaction would be to restart the computer.

Is this your first account with Yahoo Mail? Or has this just started.

I'm still here dont worry :tazz:

So restarting the computer doesn't work, and it just started this evening...

Is it only when you check mail, or does this happen no matter what you try?

Sooo... I'm using Firefox, too, but still get the same Yahoo Mail blank inbox page with the uber-irritating "done" at the bottom of the window. Email works just fine from school, just not from my home computer. And the same blankness happens in Outlook and IE, too! It took all of my brain power to get Firefox to work around my lousy Norton Firewall... but I got that all figured out. Brain=sore. Before I got Firefox to function, though, Yahoo mail worked in IE. I can access my Yahoo inbox if I go through a webpage's "email us"-type link, but I can't reply to the messages - just gives me a compose window with no composition part. What do you all suppose is happening here? It hurts to think anymore.

I understand your frustration...believe me :tazz: ... Since Firefox didn't work for you, I copied a reply from Yahoo when I wrote their "customer care." Maybe this will help.....hopefully!! Good luck..... from susie

From the description you have provided to us, it appears you need to
delete your browser's cache. The "cache" is the memory your browser
uses to store images of the web pages that you have visited. Storing
those images lets your browser load those same pages more quickly the
next time you visit them.

When you need to clear your cache, follow the instructions below for
your browser and version.

* Internet Explorer 6.x for Windows:

1. Choose "Internet Options..." from IE's Tools menu.
2. Click the "Delete Cookies" button, and choose "OK" when prompted.
3. Click the "Delete Files" button, and select to "Delete all offline
content".
4. Click "OK" when prompted.
5. In the bottom right-hand corner of the Internet Options page,
click the "Clear History" button, and choose "OK" when prompted.
6. Click the OK button at the bottom of the Internet Options window.
7. Close and re-start your browser.


* Internet Explorer for Mac:
1. Select "Preferences" from the "Edit" menu.
2. On the Preferences panel, select the "Advanced" category.
3. Click on the "Empty Now" button.


* Netscape 7.x for Windows or Mac:
1. From the Edit menu, choose "Preferences...".
2. Click the plus sign (+) to the left of "Advanced" on the left
side, and then choose "Cache" from the drop-down list.
3. Click the "Clear Memory Cache" button, then click "OK".
4. Click the "Clear Disk Cache" button, then click "OK".
5. Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the Preferences window,
then close and re-start your browser.


Netscape 6.x for Windows or Mac
1. Choose "Internet Options..." from IE's Tools menu.
2. Click the "Delete Cookies" button, and choose "OK" when prompted.
3. Click the "Delete Files" button, and select to "Delete all offline
content".
4. Click "OK" when prompted.
5. In the bottom right-hand corner of the Internet Options page,
click the "Clear History" button, and choose "OK" when prompted.
6. Click the OK button at the bottom of the Internet Options window.
7. Close and re-start your browser.


* Netscape 4.x for Windows or Mac:
1. From the Edit menu, choose "Preferences...".
2. Click the plus sign (+) to the left of "Advanced" on the left
side, and then choose "Cache" from the drop-down list.
3. Click the "Clear Memory Cache" button, then click "OK".
4. Click the "Clear Disk Cache" button, then click "OK".
5. Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the Preferences window,
then close and re-start your browser.


* Other Browsers:
If you are running a browser other than those listed above and would
like more information on how to clear your browser's cache, please refer
to your browser's help file.

If you are running an older version of the browsers listed above, we
highly recommend upgrading your browser to the newest version available.
