Re: Yahoo upgrade questions

OK thanks to all I have successfully migrated my single email address to SBC\yahoo successfully with my desk top computer. My mail is working just fine and dandy and I see no major change in my connection.
I'm totally jealous of you right now. 
Ok, I might not need to be jealous anymore. My prior Ameritech accounts seem to be working both with POP and webmail. I'm not certain of this, but things just seem to have started working. I'm still testing this out though.
The new account I created after merging still doesn't work. |

So I can probably expect the new sub I created to start working soon. I created it shortly after migrating all my current accounts.
Edit: Now I can send mail from my new subaccount, I just can't receive any mail on it. So close...

I also got the email inviting me to upgrade to Yahoo.
Yes, I think I will upgrade to SBC Yahoo DSL and "merge"
my Yahoo id, but I have a few questions. I have read all the FAQs,
but am not clear on a few points.
1) When my yahoo id is "merged", is it possible to still login
to yahoo with the just "merged" id, and see mail sent to me.
Or, is the only option to get to my mail is to logon to SBC Yahoo
with my xxx.ameritech.net id?
2) When I merge my free Yahoo email id, will my current structure,
twenty-nine email folders and inbox, and all my email filters,
be maintained, or will the "merge" process just dump all the
email from my yahoo id into my SBC Yahoo inbox?
kthansen
Well, I did the migration this morning, even though the
migration page said to "wait till tomorrow".
Guess what, It appears to have worked perfectly and
immediately. Mail works fine, client & Web based.
I did not like SBC changing my default home page, but
easy to change back.
Oh yea, I DID NOT merge my free yahoo ID, as everyone
recommended. BUT, one minor problem, and probably of my
making, because of an option I took during the migration
process. I can not be logged on to SBC Yahoo, and free
yahoo at the same time in different browser windows.
The migration process asked me if I had a free yahoo id,
and I said no, so that probably caused my minor problem.
Does anyone know if there is something I can do about this
after the migration is done? Thanks

Are you going to call Premium Services and see if they can do anything for you??
Today I got the password changed on my Primary account, and added it to my Outlook and Outlook Express on older computer. Downloaded a bunch of monthly bills, and a couple offers, and the "Upgrade" email..... off the "new" "PRIMARY" email addreess...
The fellow I talked with on the password told me the Upgrade site was down today, and he wasn't certain if the password change would take immediately, but it did...
You'll see I posted other questions since then, and I took a couple tours through the upgrade site without actually upgrading...... I guess the software selection site is where the OPT OUT for software is located....
I guess I'll wait for a couple more success stories here before upgrading...I've got the email info....
I do kind of wish my secondary email address would be my primary, and visa versa... But, if access to the member site and the "Online Storage Site" is only via Primary Address, I guess I could learn to deal with it...
I am just hoping that I don't mis-interpret the site and configure it wrong.......

I believe the reason you can’t be logged on to both accounts at the same time is that they are trying to use the same cookie. My work around is to use a different browser for each account.

Separate browsers is, indeed, the answer. Or else log out of one before you log into the other.

Hmmm, I don't use different browsers...I can login into one account and if I want to login into my other Yahoo account, I just sign out and sign into the other...With NO problem...
I not sure if this is what your asking...?...
Oops, this was for kthansen ...

Maybe this is semantics, I don't change browsers, I just change sign-inns...I don't considered this different browsers...Then again you may be right, I just don't considered this separate browsers... ...
Edit; Ok I get it, you can also use different browsers...Duh...

He wants to be logged into two different accounts at the SAME TIME. He does not want to have to sign out from one to sign into the other.

What's the big deal, it takes seconds to sign out of one and into another...I think it would be a pain to shut down one browser and open another...
Maybe I'm missing something...It wouldn't be the first time..;) ...

I went to that URL.
Attention: Ameritech.Net Members
Thank you for your interest in SBC Yahoo! DSL. Due to the overwhelming interest in this new service, we are experiencing a delay in registering our members on the new service. Please try again tomorrow.
Sure gives me the warm fuzzy that their migration servers can't keep up with demand. What else in their infrastructure can't?

I am a bomb technician. If you see me running, try to keep up. |
