I got the email today inviting me to upgrade to Yahoo.
Do I need to bypass my router during the upgrade?
After the upgrade, do I need to change the login in the router and if so will it be newname@sbcglobal.net?
Does the news server/news server login change?
If you don’t have to install any software upgrade, why does it immediately try to install the “Yahoo Install Manager”?

I got the same email today. All very good questions. I am still waiting a while to do this. I want to see if people are successful before doing it.

If you have to ask what EFNET is, you don't need broadband

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?

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

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.

Kthansen wanted to be logged into both accounts at the same time but in different windows.

That's what we're saying, Kcazzie. That the only way it can be done is with separate browsers.
