Re: [tor-talk] Logging in to Yahoo e-mail accounts now failing???

allows logging in to Yahoo.
Interestingly, I have Thunderbird configured to access that same e-mail
account through Foxyproxy accessing localhost:8118, which should be
routing that traffic through Vidalia/Tor. This still works.
Is anyone else having issues?
AT&T refuses to help me, of course, because they know nothing about Tor.
Does anyone have a suggestion about what to try next?
1st, have you resolved the issue? I use AT&T / Yahoo email (sometimes)
& just logged into it via Tor . As w/ others' suggestions about logging
into some sites w/ Tor, may want to limit exit nodes, by editing
Vidalia's torrc file, to nodes in the SAME country where either / or:
1) their server (your acct) is located, 2) the same country as the IP
address' location, that you used to sign up for the acct.
I used the torrc command, ExitNodes {cc}, where "cc" is your country code,
followed by the "StrictExitNodes 1" command.
Had no problem logging into AT&T/Yahoo email - in MY country. Have no
idea in how many countries they offer service.
Sometimes an "incorrect PW" msg is assoc w/ not having cookies enabled
for the site.
