Yahoo

They have pop. I thried to set up my outlook, but I guess I did not know what I was doing. Never did get it set up.

I can help you out with that... yahoo requires payment to access their pop. Are you a paid yahoo customer?

[Popsyckle]

Only with ATT.YAHOO. I have been yahoo(non paying) from the beginning. Back when we had to pay for dial up and some of the old free dial ups. Never have paided for yahoo. Not in all these years.

Steps to take to get it to work!

-Open up a web browser
-Copy and paste your link to your picture should be something like http://militarysignatures.com/signatures/member####.png (The #’s will be your number)
-Right click and copy the picture itself
-Goto Yahoo mail and click on OPTIONS on the far right side and then MAIL OPTIONS.
-The second option on the left is Signature, click on it and click the bubble to show signature
-Click in the box, press enter a few times and right click and paste.
-Wah Lah!


This works with a regular NON-paying Yahoo account.

Randy,

I've tried with both. The link just shows up as text, and the image just shows up as a red x.

Which one did you post in yahoo, step 2 or step 3 in your instructions?

[souljah]

LOL! you're right....I just opened a email and it showed up, but after sending it...I got the X

I sent from www.yahoo.com (actual web browser)

However, I personally use Outlook and I sent it to my gmail account I use with Outlook. It first showed a Red X, but asked my if I want to download pictures or if I wanted to "trust" the sender....I did and the picture showed up!

Which one did you post in yahoo, step 2 or step 3 in your instructions?

I posted Step 3 into the signature....not step 2.

[souljah]

I was thinking of showing the way, but then I thought....let me login into my gmail account in a web browser and see if it worked....it did not. So much for that!!

I had it working in Yahoo before I stopped using them as my primary e-mail source. Sometime today, I'll go through the steps again and figure out what I did.

[SergeantJay]

I used to ba able to add it to Yahoo, but then it changed and I can't do it now to save my life.

Randy will have to send me an email from a yahoo account, because seeing is believing.

The signature interface in the newer version of Yahoo Mail doesn't have a way of inserting HTML or images. However, if you edit your signature from the Yahoo Mail Classic interface (you can get to the options by going to the POP & Forwarding option on the new interface, they're "still tweaking the interface"), you can insert HTML into the signature and that's what I used to add the graphic. I just sent a test e-mail from my Yahoo to my account I use Outlook to access, and aside from having to tell Outlook to download the graphic, it worked as intended.

For the seeing is believing crowd, attached is a screenshot of the message in Outlook received from Yahoo.

Hmm, that's amazing. I am using the yahoo classic, and I can't get it to work anymore. At least I think I'm using Classic because of the link Try the new Yahoo! Mail shows up in the upper right hand corner.

Update: Yes it is Classic, I see it in the logo. Still won't work for me. That's ok because of the uncontrolable spam and the lack of html support through the browser, I don't use yahoo for anything other than a junk account.
