    I also have a yahoo email account. I would suggest that, once logged into Yahoo mail, place the url from your browser's address dialog box to the trusted site list.

    I would be cautious of how you place that particular URL into the Trusted Zone....in particular do not place it in as the whole domain....*.yahoo.com . You do not want any site where anonymous, unknown users can inject content in your Trusted Zone.

    Hi,

    What would be the advantage to have Y-mail url in the trusted zone?
    I dont have any in the trusted zone, therefore a lot in the restricted zone with max. security settings available.
    Regards,

    Gerard

    you need to let cookies be stored and the trusted zone is the only way to do it when you have tight security settings isnt it? is there another way?

    I have a Yahoo account as well. I am not using IE for that but FF and I dont store cookies.
    By default the restricted zone has more security than the trusted zone in IE.
    But ofcourse you can change settings manually.

    I haven't been to my account there in a while, but when I tried to get in, cookies became a must. Well to say the least,
    I wasn't a bit happy with it. My movements through yahoo were careful and calculated, reverting back to the Internet
    Zone before my exit. Thanks for quickly pointing this out for other readers Bubba, and confirming my suspicions.
