Mail have to be dependant on Windows or OS X?</I><BR/><BR/>I would guess because they're foolishly looking at browser strings and attempting to gauge your browser's capablities beforehand. <BR/><BR/>I haven't had your issues, but then again I'm using Iceweasel 2.0.0.1. The only time Y! griped at me, I was presented a dialog of "go use the old version" or "no, continue using the beta version".<BR/><BR/>Naturally, I clicked "continue" and it's worked perfectly ever since.I R A Darth Aggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580296517949279444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919301250565883027.post-66307734977753552652007-02-23T04:56:00.000-08:002007-02-23T04:56:00.000-08:00I`ve had the same problem while uploadin attacheme...I`ve had the same problem while uploadin attachements from my Ubuntu Dapper and Firefox 2.0 .. i plan to stop using Yahoo!Mail..

Mail Beta. Whenever I tried to add an attachment Mail just sat there doing nothing. No error message, no attachment, no cancel operation. The only thing I could do was kill my browser. I reported it to Yahoo! and they came back with "could not replicate" problem. By that time I had upgraded to 2.0.0.2 and the problem was gone. I assumed it was a temporary Yahoo! issue, but perhaps it was my browser version?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919301250565883027.post-88350928991022917532007-02-22T20:54:00.000-08:002007-02-22T20:54:00.000-08:00I am not sure what to say.

For maybe three months now I have an issue where sending an email would put my Firefox 2.x into an endless busy state and no mail was sent. <BR/><BR/>I posted a question on Yahoo's forums and got no answers. Finally I gave up and reverted to old Yahoo mail. That at least I know, works on all the platforms I use, and on all browsers including Konqueror.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919301250565883027.post-73213376240472401802007-02-22T18:20:00.000-08:002007-02-22T18:20:00.000-08:00Interesting, I just logged into yahoo mail beta us...Interesting, I just logged into yahoo mail beta using Ubuntu 6.10 and firefox 2.0.0.1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
