Title: [SOLVED] Yahoo Mail
Post by: pelouk on December 04, 2014, 03:08:47 PM

Is anyone else having problems getting access to a yahoo mail account. I've been getting an "Error 14" message every time I try to sign in to my account at yahoo.co.uk.  Their help page seems to indicate that they only support Windows or Mac operating systems.

Anyone shed a light on this?

Hi Pelouk,

I'm in the states and was able to login to Yahoo Mail successfully with Firefox on Linux Lite 2.

Googling "Yahoo error 14" yields lots of hits. The message below came through many times. I really doubt Yahoo only support Window or Mac.

Issue seems to have resolved itself, folks but thank you all anyway.

For what it's worth (and I'm not sure if it was germane) I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and now can get into my mail.

Cheers all.
