One of the problems I have with Yahoo mail, is that it turns on "application mode". I have to press Insert Z to turn back on the virtual cursor.
Hope that helps.

Others on this list have also said they are having trouble, so it's not just me. My problem with all this is that I am an average computer user, and many of you on this list are much more technically savvy than I will ever be. I do not want to have to jump through seventeen hoops, stand on my head and do whatever else just to read my emaiol. Sighted people don't have to go through all these changes to do so. I couldn't figure out how to get the Yahoo mail to do absolutely anything. So even with my several years of knowledge with computers and jaws it isn't enough. To me that is too complicated. Thanks to all for the mobile yahoo site. I tried it and I can use it just fine. That is weird to me, but I won't question it.
