    Dear friend,

    I did step by step your guide, but with no luck. But I'm going to pay yahoo pro just for one month as you did and I hope they will fix it.

    Thank you very much.

    That is a new development. You are so rude. I posted what works for me, to help others. If it didnt work for you, then that is your situation. it worked for me. You make helping others very unappealing. Who would want to help someone when the reaction is like yours. UGH!

    Its located in Yahoo! account setting, not Yahoo! mail settings. Dumb, I know. It took me forever to find that.
