When I try to set up a yahoo (via imap) email account I get a bad name for username/password message (they are correct). Any ideas?
Access to my yahoo email account has always been a little uneven, but recently it has flat refused to work. I received the message "failed to connect to the server- imap.mail.yahoo.com . What I've tried so far:
(1) the user name appeared as [email protected] tried to change it to just my username without result.
(2) I deleted my account in Thunderbird and tried to recreate.
a) the first time I used the auto configuration option, but it didn't work b) the second time I used the manual configuration and changed my username from [email protected] to just username
In both cases, I got the error message "Setup was unable to be verified is the name of user or wrong password? I use 1Password to store all my passwords, so I'm cut and paste right into the dialog box so I know it's good (I also tried to type in there just in case cut and paste somehow corrupted it).
(3) just for the heck of it, I went into my router and disabled the firewall here, but nothing helps.
(4) when I ping imap.mail.yahoo.com of the command line there is no package of problems / deleted.
I'm on Windows 10 (automatic update so it should be the current version of the patch) and I installed Thunderbird at 45.1.0. I searched these forums and google the problem (which is where I learned about the issue of [email protected] vs. username). Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
This error message can be generated if the settings are different from those given here, and those who do not work, use the full address for the user name, such as recommended by Yahoo.
Another reason could be if you two-step verification in place.
In addition, where it is a factor, disable all antivirus programs while you set up the account and then disable the e-mail scanning or create an exception for the TB profile folder.

Original title: link stop "restrictions in effect on this computer.
All of a sudden when I try to click on a link in an email that I get "this operation was cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. Well... I am the system administrator and I have no idea what is the cause. What is a windows problem or a problem of office?
Bruce,
See my post on 1 December. None of those links gave me an answer that worked. I found a Geek forum that works. I now can have all three browsers installed IE9, GoggleChrome and Firefox. I like the last two because IE9 periodially breaks down and the others did not. In addition, Chrome is faster for some things like the control off site to purchase.

How to cancel name for username/password when you access the WIn7 computer to stream?
Hello
I have a win7 computer and I would like to access it from a stream. I see the computer win 7 banners, but when I try to connect to access shared folders, it requires username & password. I don't know what they are. I have another computer with Vista from where I can access the computer of win 7. I can also access files on the computer of vista of banners.I turned on the discovery network, printer and file sharing, turn on sharing so anyone can read & write files in the public folder. Disabled password protection sharing and allowed Windows to manage the homegroup connections (recommended).Can any suggestions on how I disable the name of user and password? or at least what is it?Thank youLeon.PS: He used to work properly without a username, but suddenly he began to pose for her (probably after that I restarted the computer or the streamed)Hello

When I try to access at & T of Firefox Yahoo email, I get an error message:
Your screen resolution is set below our minimum recommendation of 1024 x 600 pixels.
When I handed my screen resolution (which incidentally is > than requested) AT & T Yahoo rejects the change and returns me to the error screen.
I received this error message for years, but until today, I was able to work around the error message by pressing a "Try Again" box on the page. This strategy stopped working today.
AT & T told me that I should use a different browser! (If you contact me by email I will send you a pdf of this conversation.)
I love my Firefox, and it's very inconvenient to use another browser to access my email account.
Help!

Why say that I have a wrong e-mail address when I try to set up the synchronization?
I have an ipod touch. I downloaded the app home of firefox on the device.
I then tried to synchronize my computer at home.
When I try to set up a private account with firefox that I go to 'tools', enter "set up a synchronization", and then "create a new account. A window is this "e-mail address." As soon as I start to get into my email, that an "x" appears, followed by "it's a wrong e-mail address. That is what it is?Just keep typing until you have entered the full e-mail address.

Hi wimuggss,Step 1: Disable UAC (User Account Control) and check the result
See How can I change the behavior of user account control by using the cursor?Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.Important: Enable UAC after you complete the steps.Step 2: If the problem persists, try to set the parental control in safe mode and check the result. If you are able to apply settings in safe mode, this means that some program is causing this problem, mainly the security software.
