Can't compose in Yahoo mail using K-meleon browser

As this thread contains a really great number of silly posts, I begun to remove post by post these stupidities. Due to the number of posts to delete, I obviously failed during the process, and remove the thread instead of a post.

As someone will probably post again for this problem, or a related one, I create it again, reproducing a post of Guenter, which must answer to these questions.

I'm in phase with Siria to say that it's not a Yahoo forum, and users ought to mail to Yahoo instead of K-Meleon, as the reason is related to Yahoo.

Thanks to read the Guenter's post:

Dear Danjay Malla Reddy and other ppl with Yahoo mail problems,

Users and moderators at the K-Meleon Forums can do absolutely nothing to debug or enhance Yahoo's mail service.

The PPL with recent complains about Yahoo mail service come with Indian or other IP that can be traced to the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre IP range.

Only Yahoo own service personal can fix Yahoo mail service and servers in this and other regions - the problem is not browser related or K-Meleon specific.

Yahoo always bared browsers with Gecko engines that are not Firefox or SeaMonkey from new Yahoo Beta Mail. For this reason the K-Meleon Forums at Source Forge have three threads that are answering FAQs about how to get Yahoo mail service for K-Meleon.

Yahoo Mail users were advised to set K-Meleon's User Agent String to pretend that a new Firefox asks for service with Yahoo. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071008 Firefox/2.0.0.8 or newer are ideally suited. Yahoo's service personal is cordially invited to visit the Gecko is Gecko site for advice on Gecko engine and how to solve this severe Yahoo Gecko bug in Yahoo Beta (new) Mail.

Recently additional PPL have problems and come here more often and with new types of problems. The number of posters is far too high for coincidence. The complains are about broken Yahoo mail service.

Yahoo's mail program at the server level seems erratic. Complaints contain but are not limited to: no login possible, no mail can be fetched or sent, or no files attached. Several browser versions and brands and not only K-Meleon or other Gecko browsers seem affected.

Thx for reading my post.

Thank god, but at least, as you revived it again, you could have set the thread name and, therefore, the page title, the thing that most people checks in a search engine result, to another more obvious to avoid problems:

Yes & I had tinkered with the headers in that old thread also.

alain thx for Your effort. Let me explain. Why I left it alone.

Maybe one or the other visitors saw that we thx to Dorian have a browser.

If one of the multitude tried the browser it was good enough.

You're right, that's not too much for a so good browser.

I've found that these issues are usually the result of a user agent problem.

Use a Firefox addon like Blend In, TotalSpoof or Blender to change the user agent and see if that fixes the problem. This will set the user agent to use Firefox's one and not K-Meleon.

ray,
KM can emulate FF by itself - see for 'Firefox compatibility mode' in 'Tools' menu.

Also you can use more universal useragent multiswitcher created by naruman
