Why can I get into Yahoo mail and not into Messenger?

Why is it I can get into my yahoo mail but not messenger?

  • I can get into my mail with no problem but not messenger. I have changed my password twice thinking someone hacked into it once again but still can not sign in. It starts to but doesn't completely sign in, the little smiley just goes back to sleep. Is anyone else having the same problem? Is there any way to get in without having to uninstall messenger and reinstall it? This is so frustrating.

  • Answer:

    first of all, make sure that ur server is functioning properly, any sudden server down time can affect ur signing In, u may not notice it b/c sometimes the server comes and goes witout u knowing, so if u check ur server and it is working normal then uninstall ur yahoo messenger the proper way and then install again , I am sure it will work. God bless u

When this has happened to me, the only things that have helped is changing my password, and then sometimes having to reinstall Yahoo Messenger. I would maybe register a new name, adding your older ID as a contact to see if you are online, which would answer if someone is using your Yahoo ID. I have done that a few times, and have found myself to be online (well, whoever was using my name!)!! My husband has also had this same problem, and I have gone on mine,only to see he was online, even though he was not near a computer, because someone was using his ID too. I now change my password quite regularly and so does he. Hope this helps!! GOOD LUCK SIGNING IN!! ( I hope this makes sense too)
