I am still using Win XP which limits my choices. Can you tell me what they are? I mostly use FF as my browser.
Have you done the above?
I've tried some of those before but had trouble because of XP. I'm not a techie so it makes a mess I can't. I just tried yahoo mail again & could access my contacts but my mails was a mess with many deleted email turning up in my inbox again. Yahoo must be fiddling again ;o(
I don't use Yahoo mail. I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.
You've called the big guys?? who?
Those who know more then I.
