How do I open my Yahoo mail?

How can I stop Yahoo!Messenger from opening when I open Yahoo!Mail?

• Every time I open my email, I get a small Yahoo!Messenger window that opens from someone that is not in my contact list and I do not know. I 'x' out of the window and it keeps coming back every time I open my mail. I have set the preferences to block all instant messaging from anyone not in my contact list, but the instant messaging continues. This person is no in my list of 12 contacts that I have in my Yahoo mail account. How can I rid myself of Yahoo!Messenger completely.

• Answer:

  Unfortunately you can't rid yourself completely of messenger from the regular mail site. You can turn off messenger up in the left hand corner of mail click on your username and then select "Sign Out of Messenger". Your other option is in Messenger Options where you chose not to accept people not on your contact list, you can switch to the bottom option and add the user's name to the list box below it. If you want just mail and don't mind it being very simple I do sometimes use m.yahoo.com which is just the mail. (note mobile site address is listed as the same for US and Can)
