Thanks for visiting FixYa!

Yahoo has been experiencing a system wide problem. Many of Yahoo! Mail customers are experiencing the same problem (eMail log in error)).

To assist Yahoo mail customers with this problem, AOL will transfer all of your contact information and future emails from your Yahoo account to your new AOL account for the next 30 days for free. (Until Yahoo can correct the problem). You won't miss any emails from your Yahoo account.. They will be automatically forwarded to your new AOL account.

Here are the instructions:

1) Go to AOL and set up a new AOL email account. (Click on this link) https://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.psp?seamless=novl&locale=us&offerId=newmail-en-us-v2&siteState=ver%3A4'rt%3ASTANDARD'at%3ASNS'ld%3Awebmail.aol.com'uv%3AAOL'lc%3Aen-us'mt%3AAOL'snt%3AScreenName'sid%3Af27fcb24-926a-4b22-ac39-ac0d19e1d3f4&authLev=0&sitedomain=sns.webmail.aol.com&lang=en

2) During the set up process you will be asked to provide a security question. Later, you'll need to answer the security question to set up the transfer, so don't forget the answer.

3) Once your new AOL account is set up, go to your AOL email page. Look in the upper right hand top corner for the word, SETTINGS and click on it.

4) (Next page) On the left hand side, look for the word, Accounts and click on it.

5) (Next Page) Look on the line beginning with, Transfer Accounts and locate the link that reads, AOL Easy Transfer and click on it.

6) (Next Page) Agree to the terms of service and click on, Get Started.

7) (Next Page) Under Copy from, enter your Yahoo email address and password.

8) Under Copy to, enter your new AOL email address and password.

9) (Next Page) Carefully Read, and select the options you need. (Click, Continue)

10) (Next Page) Click, Go to AOL Mail.

11) (Next Page) Enter the answer to your security question you created when you set up your new AOL email account. (Click, Continue)

12) (Next Page) Look at the top Left hand corner and click on, MAIL.

That's it. (Although AOL says that it may take up to 24 hours to complete the process - it usually only takes about 30 minutes.) After you receive your confirmation email, Click on your Contacts in your AOL account. When you see your Contacts from your Yahoo account there, the transfer has completed.

Transfer Email to a Different Server

Each of the free-email providers has its own server on which to store the emails in its system. Gmail from Google, Hotmail from Microsoft, Yahoo! mail from Yahoo! and the rest all run their own servers, and one account from one server cannot go into another from a different server.

So if you've switched from Yahoo! to Gmail and want to get all the emails stored in the Yahoo! server over to the Google server, you have to transfer that email data.

Luckily, since the services are free, transferring the email is also free.
Log into your email account in the server that you are looking to transfer to.

So if you are transferring from Yahoo! to Gmail, log into your Gmail account.
Click on the "Settings" or "Option" button for your email address and then click the "Accounts" or "Accounts and Imports" button to look at the accounts.


Click on the "Import from another account" or "Add account" buttons and then type in the log-in information for the account that you want to transfer the emails from.
In the example given, you are transferring from Yahoo! to Gmail so you will need to type in your Yahoo! log-in information.

Wait for the server to transfer all of the contacts and email from the old server (Yahoo!) to the new server (Gmail).

Get My Yahoo Mail Moved to My Gmail Account

Nearly everyone has multiple email accounts for different purposes, and occasionally you may need to transmit information from one account to another.

Gmail makes it easy to import data from other Internet email providers via the TrueSwitch email migration service.

You can use TrueSwitch to migrate all of your Yahoo email data without even leaving the Gmail program window.

Navigate to the Gmail website and log in to your Gmail account.
Click the "Tools" icon in the upper right corner of the program window and click "Mail settings" in the drop-down menu.


Click the "Accounts and Import" tab in the settings window.
Click the "Import mail and contacts" button to start the mail import wizard.


Type your Yahoo email account address in the text field and click the "Continue" button.
Type your Yahoo email account password in the text field and click the "Continue" button.


Check the box next to each type of data that you want to import from your Yahoo email account. You can choose to import contacts, mail, and new mail that you receive within 30 days.
You can also specify a label that you want attached to all imported mail. Click the "Start Import" button.

The TrueSwitch service will begin importing the desired data.
It may take between several hours and two days for all of your data to be imported from your Yahoo account.

Help I think my Yahoo Account has been compromised or hacked!!

that happend to me. all you have to do is log on to your yahoo account and change your pass code . when you leave your yahoo account make sure you log out every time. if you stay logged in theres a much bigger chance of it being hacked again. your passcode should be made up of some numbers, mixed upper case and lower case letters. after i changed mine the problems stopped.

My ID for the past 12 years or so on Yahoo.com has been mceltic@94402 and mceltic@11967 my pass word was Dachshund Now that my auto sign in has been taken away I have not been able to log into my account!

Your username could not have been mceltic@11967 or mceltic@94402... the @ symbol can only be used once in an email address... the domain will immediately follow the @ symbol. Are you sure your username was not [email protected] or some such? Can you log into any other websites that would confirm your email address (like Paypal or any forum that requires the email as part of registration that you already belong to)? Go into the user settings area and confirm what your yahoo email address is. That will be your username.

First type search www.yahoo.com to complete a new account setup. Usually the details of persons are acquired from which yahoo provides spaces capable of several functions. A new acount setup makes available to the member passwords and usernames to log into yahoo spaces designed as personal customisation. After the yahoo membership has been acquired, the member signs into the acount at www.yahoo.com with the password and username that was provided to them. Successful entry into the account makes available electronic mail messaging amongst several network advantgaes. Before sending an email on yahoo usually from your logon in account, another persons email address like [email protected] is typed into a space visible as yahoo mail. Once clicked yahoo mail in your account, a space is made availble to keyin the email address from where messages would be sent. Also, below the address spaces would be typing area for messsage required emailing. Once the friends email address has been keyed in to the spaces provided and message area typed, below is provided a button that allows clicks to approve as message has been delivered to the friends email box.

When I log into yahoo mail it logs in to the user id I have requested for it to keep me logged in for 2 weeks. How do I log into Yahoo under a different user id under these circumstances?

You can't. You cannot be simultaneously logged into 2 yahoo accounts. You need to log out of the existing one to log into the second yahoo ID. However you may be simultaneously logged into 1 yahoo email and ine google or hotmail. The way around this is to have a second user account on the computer and be logged simultneously into both user accounts, and be logged into a diffferent yahoo email in each user account

What do you mean by this? "There was a problem accessing your account. Please try again in a moment.Error #1" I can not open my yahoo account.

There have been problems with accessing yahoo email accounts from several areas. This is because your current network service provider could hardly connect to yahoo's email server's and vice versa. Can you try logging into http://wap.yahoo.com

This is yahoo's alternative site to check email. Click on the Email link on the upper right corner of the site and login your username and password.
