Hello Microsoft,

I contacted Yahoo Mail about this problem, and the only thing that solved it
was switching to Firefox Browser.

The problem is, that as of a week ago or so, I could not use Yahoo Mail
Reply Forward or Move capability on my computer.

Every other internet function, meaning websites, works.

It is just using Internet Explorer 6.0 which does not work.
I am using Windows ME, so I can not upgrade to a newer Microsoft web browser.

I am not using any tool bars, and it looks like since Firefox works, and I
tried a whole list of suggestions from Yahoo, that there might be (must be)
some problem in the settings for Internet Explorer that I am missing?

What else could be the problem?
Have you seen this problem occurring before?
I would think so, given that Yahoo is such a popular e-mail program.

How can you help, other than having me re-install my operating system for
such a minor problem? Also, I did do a system restore, I do not remember
needing to restore anything, alas to no effect.

Update on the issue:

I created another temporary Yahoo e-mail account on my computer, and
using this new Yahoo e-mail account, I have full functionality using
Internet Explorer, which is good.

So the problem (which is not solved yet), but further narrowed down is:
so far on my home computer only, my original Yahoo e-mail account does
not have certain functionalities, such as, but not limited to: "Reply",
"Forward", "Move".

When I use the same Yahoo e-mail address on another browser, Firefox,
or another computer, the Yahoo e-mail address works fine.

So the problem seems to be something very specific in the interaction
between my computer Windows ME Internet Explorer 6.0, and a specific Yahoo
e-mail address.

Any solutions recommended other than re-installing my operating system?
