How do I set up an I.M. on Yahoo?

How do I set up Yahoo IM to start automatically when I sign in and show my friends who are online?

  • I just downloaded Yahoo IM/Voice Mail Version 8, including the Yahoo Toolbar, but the "Welcome Tour" did not give any instructions on how to set up or use Yahoo IM. I see how to check my e-mail, but not how to start IM or how to send or receive messages through Yahoo IM. There is no "IM" button on the Yahoo toolbar.

  • Answer:

    Open the Yahoo Messenger. Click Messenger at the top of the page [near Contacts]. Scroll down to Preferences >>Click General >> Ensure that "Automatically start Yahoo Messenger" is checked. To send an IM, click "Action" at the top of the IM box and you'll see the "Send IM" option
