You have to revert your yahoo mail account from the latest and greatest to
what they call "classic" mail format, and that will run fine in SM.and
Inet Xplorer 6 (or whatever shipped with win 7).
The how to instructions are simple and are on the web.

How are you accessing Yahoo mail?  I read mine here via
IMAP using the SeaMonkey Mail & Newsgroups support.


Thru Seamonkey.


Through an email account created in the Mail & Newsgroups

Web mail in my browser.

Thanks, I will try out your string.

That's strange because I have no problems if I use Firefox?

Andy


same situation here Andy, except i have not spoofed the useragent
yet.

Hopefully, i will learn how to spoof useragent at the web site given 
earlier.


Right now, Yahoo returns Seamonkey the message: update to FF, update
to Chrome, or continue with legacy yahoo (option does not work).  So
to check the server, i am using FF.

It just started a couple weeks ago.

Worked fine before then but had been saying that it would quit
working on 2/1/19 but continued working for a few weeks after that.



I just went to my freebie Yahoo e-mail account using my SeaMonkey on
Win7 (version shown in sig file) and continued with my legacy Yahoo to
clean up my thirty or so e-mails received over the last month or so 
(O.K., I've been slack!! ;-P ).


WFM!!

You can return to classic Yahoo, then use Seamonkey.
I just did it for the same reason you are spoofing the useragent.

Besides being a web browser, SM is also an email and ng program.
Try other ua strings and if that does not work then set up the
email part of SM using POP3 or imap.
http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/useragentstring.php
Or make your own ua string.
FF does not contain an email program like SM does so you will
need to use webmail with FF.

I am using the Mail and Newsgroup support in SeaMonkey.  Are you using
that or the browser?  If you are using the Mail and Newsgroup support
are you using POP3 or IMAP to access Yahoo mail?

Check here for strings

using PrefBar with the Real UA button you can install as many as you

Thanks for all the responses.  I don't remember it as being all that 
difficult in the distant past.  I really don't want to import this and 
that or install more add-ons.  I wouldn't know an .xml file if I met 
one. I'm getting too old to fiddle around for a simple problem.
So I took the easy way out--I used (gasp!) internet exploder and made 
the weather.com site the home page.  It pops right up without waiting 
for all the files to load.  That's all I use it for.

The extension User Agent Switcher works well.

I've used it for many years on Fx and recently added it to SeaMonkey.

You will need to import the user agent list from
http://techpatterns.com/forums/about304.html.


Why do the people who make these lists of user-agents not fill in all
the blanks other than vendor?  If the appcodename, appname, appversion,
and platform are left blank, it becomes obvious that the user-agent is
faked.



PrefBar only needs a user-defined name for the UA string plus the UA
string itself.  The import file is NOT .xml, which is what User Agent
Switcher uses.

I hand-edit the UA menulist from a log of visits to my Web site, which
contains the UAs of visiting browsers.  I do this about once every 1-2
months in my primary SeaMonkey profile.  Then I export the menulist and
import it to my other profiles and to the SeaMonkey profiles on my
wife's PC, each time deleting the existing menulist before importing the
new one.

What I do is take the .xml file with the fakes, import it into 
User-agent Switcher, then use the extension itself to fill in the blanks 
for those agents that I might possibly want to use.  After that I back 
up the list of user-agents so that I do not have to do that over again 
if something happens to my profile or the extension.

To edit the menulist, you are correct:  It does not have to be deleted.

To IMPORT a new version of the menulist, however, you must first delete
the existing menulist.  While you can import the new version of a
checkbox or button over an existing one, you cannot import a new version
of a menulist over an old one.  Quite some time ago, this was confirmed
to me in an E-mail from Manuel Reimer, the developer of PrefBar.

I use the PrefBar extension.  It contains a menulist called User Agent
that allows you to change the UA string.  If you forget that you changed
the UA string, it reverts back to your default, when you either launch
or terminate SeaMonkey (I do not remember which, but the effect is the
same).

The data in the User Agent menulist requires updating now and then as
other browser developers release new browser versions.  This requires
completely deleting the User Agent menulist and then importing the new
data.  I can send you my current data, but I am unlikely to keep
providing future updates.  If you want a copy of my current data,
indicate that in this thread; I will then upload the file to my Web

I concur with PrefBar, although the default strings offered are really old.

You don't necessarily have to delete the existing list, but you do have 
to edit, to show the spoofing that you want.  In my experience, I 
generally update my strings to more current version numbers, about twice 
a year.


In my case, I do happen to have Firefox installed, and when I want to 
update the PrefBar spoofing in Seamonkey, it's easy enough to 
copy/paste, based on a live installation.


For other spoofings I do (and I have several), a useful source of 
strings can be found at:
