Safari will not open Yahoo Mail page

Safari will not open Yahoo Mail - from ATT/Yahoo home page, says "unknown error". Tried just using mail yahoo.com. Again would not open. Yahoo mail will open on another browser, using another computer. Do I need to delete and then add this email account? If so how?

Have restarted computer and Safari several times with no luck.

Guessing will have to use another computer to see any replies.

Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?


Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

Did not realize I still had Apple Support. After a couple of hours working by chat, where they were simply trying to have me use the Mail app (postage stamp), the final solution was changing the DNS to 8:8:8:8. It is found in System Pref: Network: Advance: DNS. The reasoning given is Yahoo did an update and changed the numbers(???) Our desire is to check our email from the ATT-Yahoo homepage link, staying on Safari. We did not want this email account on our Mail app.

Thank you for the replies and help.
