Interesting. The command to empty the bulk maibox on yahoo mail
is "javascript:EmptyFolder('@B@Bulk')" and it is this kind of
command that will not execute in any of my browsers. If it says
javascript, I thought that this might be the appropriate forum
to ask....
Yes, it is JavaScript. So Java has nothing to do with your problem, so
you can stop re-installing Java plug-in.
This is the actual code of the EmptyFolder function from Yahoo! Mail
function EmptyFolder(folder)
{
var warnonempty = folder == "@B@Bulk" ? (!noDelBulkMsgWarning) :
(!noDelAllMsgWarning)
var emptyFol = true;
if(warnonempty)
{
var sMessage = folder == "@B@Bulk" ? "Are you sure? Deleted Bulk
messages are gone forever, and will not go to your Trash folder." :
"Are you sure you want to empty the folder?";
emptyFol = showEmptyFolderWarning(sMessage, folder);
}
if(emptyFol)
{
var url = "/ym/ShowFolder?";
url += folder == "Trash" ? "ET" : "EB";
url += "=1&.crumb=pEq.Pmp.185&reset=1&YY=73081";
window.open(url, '_self');
}
}
As you may notice, there is nothing security related here (like say
calling an ActiveX object). So the problem may be that you have
installed some crazy security fix like this one:
<http://support.microsoft.com/?id=875345>
But I'm not aware of any secirity fixes that would disable javascript
:
pseudo-protocol as it is. So the problem may be also in some
firewall/anti-spyware/anti-virus settings.
To narrow the problem you may want to install a copy of Firefox
(
www.mozilla.org) on one of problematic machines and check if Yahoo!
Mail will work for it.
