Since late yesterday, I am unable to navigate through my messages on 
Yahoo mail with SeaMonkey. I can get to the inbox, but when I click on a 
new message to open it, nothing happens. If I try to change directories, 
that doesn't work either. Using IE to access my account, it works OK.

It looks like Yahoo has changed something again without checking for 
compatibility with non-IE browsers.

Why would you ignore the OP's message body and reply only to his sig?

Not much spam here despite of using the same real email address since
many years. In many newsgroups.

I initially had the problem. Double-clicking on a message brought up a 
link, after a moment or so, of a "taking too long? Click here to use 
basic mail" variety. That works just fine.

I do not know anything about Yahoo mail but have an opinion about the
sig. As this has nothing to do with .support, i had set Followup-To
mozilla.general.

Why did you ignore the Followup-To? ;)

Same problem her. Further diagnostic information is that Microsoft's EMET reports that "EMET 4.1 detected that the SSL certificate for '*.login.yahoo.com' is not trusted by the rule ' YahooCA' associated with the domain 'login.yahoo.com'"

Same problem for me. I tried closing out SeaMonkey, figuring that might 
fix the issue.

At the moment I have to use FireFox to check my Yahoo email.

Using the SeaMonkey 2.24 browser my Yahoo mail won't open or allow me to 
change folders.

Clicking the "Taking too long? Load Basic Mail" link in the bottom right 
hand corner of the page fixes that problem.

You do have to wait awhile for it to appear.

I'm having the same problem with my Yahoo email FAILING TO OPEN while using SeaMonkey 2.25 on 4/12/2014.  Double clicking or waiting does not help my situation. The same problem occurs if I use IE. If I use Mozilla 28.0 I am able to access my email. But I don't choose to use Mozilla ... I want SeaMonkey fixed!

I'm getting fed up with Yahoo. I understand they want to turn it into Gmail. If they plan on making so many changes why won't they give us direct support?

What options are there for browsers ... Mozilla, SeaMonkey, IE ... what else. Perhaps I need to use a different browser.

IMAP, POP or web access ?

I access Yahoo email via POP3/SMTP just like other email services.  My 
settings are:

POP3 server: pop.mail.yahoo.com Port: 995
Username: MyName@yahoo,com
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
Authentication Method: Normal Password

SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com Port: 465
Username: MyName@yahoo.com
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
Authentication Method: Normal Password


Perhaps this would work for you as well and you can give up on their web 
interface.

Yahoo redid their Certificate due to the Heartbleed bug.
You can either use non ssl mail or get their new certificate.

How may one get that new certificate?

I misspoke. We users don't get the actual certificate, we just access
and confirm the website that uses it. In the past I have had to rename
cert8.db in the Windows Mozilla folder, start SM and then go to the 
website in question.
A new cert8.db was created using the latest certificate info which 
solved the problem.

You get the cert when accessing the server via SSL/TLS.

Indeed.

Then how do you think your browser can verify the cert if you don't get it?

That is the troubleshooting procedure in case your certificate store got
corrupted. There is no point deleting cert8.db in order to get a new
cert from Yahoo.

Thank you for the correction.  I learned something new!
It looks like someone posted a SM bug report and fix for this.

I remembers the time when everyone hated the new mail and wanted to go back.

Now it looks ugly? It functions just as well.

The basic mail version is NOTHING what the OLD Yahoo mail used to look 
like. The original version was much better than the horrid basic version 
they have today.  I think they make it look like crap to get people to 
switch over to the new version of mail, where it's easier for them to 
display ads.

I have a yahoo account and never use it.  Friends do use it all the time 
and they are freaking out with the problems with Yahoo.  I keep 
encouraging them to change to:

-  some other provider
-  Yahoo via POP/IMAP in SeaMonkey Mail

At any rate, stop using the Web/browser-based mail.

Marissa Mayer is very cute but her company is a total (as the Brits say) 
cock-up.  Wouldn't touch that Web site with a four-foot Italian.

they likely don't even care if a web browser like SM doesn't work... the 
"Yahoo App"  for mobile phones is likely their only concern.

GW

The Google Chrome browser is not affected by this problem.  I can do all the email functions successfully in Chrome.

My Seamonkey 2.25 doesn't even show the Delete, Move, etc. buttons.
My IE11 allows me to read emails but won't let me move them.
