I have 4 webbased email accounts, 2 yahoo, 1 hotmail and 1 webmail. I can sign in to all four but cannot access ANY folder including my inbox. I have done a virus scan and emptied all temp and internet temp files and cookies and history on my computer. I was able to send a greeting card from Yahoo, but that wasn't from within my account.

Any suggestion? My messages are piling up!
 
First what browser are you using? Second, are you actually getting signed in? Third, can you access other secured sites - like
The reason I'm asking is that there are several threads ongoing where people are having trouble accessing secure sites with IE. Most web mail services access a secure site at least for login.
 
I am using IE 6 and yes I am actually getting signed in. I am able to access everything else (I tried paypal and it came up). I just changed DSL service from Direct TV DSL to Earthlink. I got connected to Earthlink on 1/18 and this is when the problem started. My email accounts were no problem until then. I have talked with Earthlink and they tell me it is a problem with Yahoo and Hotmail. No way can that be true. There is something else going on here.
Thanks
 
I solved my problem! Seems that my firewall was blocking my email! I made no changes to my machine except getting a new DSL provider. I never touched a setting for the Firewall or Internet Explorer. Go figure...but thanks to anyone who was thinking about this.
