|  New SBC Yahoo Browser Upgrade
Question: If I uninstall all the SBC Yahoo Apps, can I just reinstall JUST the mail client, without causing any problems for my accounts? I really don't need the pop-up / anti-virus / parental controls, all I want to be able to have is multiple email addresses. | |

| Re: New SBC Yahoo Browser Upgrade My recollection is that there isn't really even a mail client, just a little web app to get the mail. I use I.E. 6 and Outlook and NONE of the SBC software. Their browser used to be a tricked up version of IE 5. If you use Win XP, another PPPoE client, or a router, you don't need ANY SBC software to use SBC Yahoo DSL. | |

| There is no Mail client for SBC Y, just a "link" that takes you directly to mail.yahoo.com to view email. For the spam problem, make sure your spam block is on, and if your using a mail client, make sure the download bulk mail folder is not selected. IF you select the SBC Y apps in the add/remove, you will be presented with options that you can the uninstall individual apps. | |

Fort Worth, TX | Thanks for all your help. I did the uninstall of everything but the client and login, and now I'm happy again. 
I think this new upgrade is really a downgrade. | |
