Smile Yahoo Web Mail Issues


I use yahoo web mail and since switching to linux I am having 2 problems with it.

1) when I save an attachment to my desktop sometimes the atachment has no extension, for example it will save a jpeg but it wont be called picture.jpeg, it would just be called picture, Im not sure if this is a yahoo, firefox or distro issue i cant seem to change it and just means i have to add the extension in whenever i download an attchment.

2) I can export my address book from yahoo mail and import it into evolution and kaddress just fine but when i try to export it back out from kaddress or evoloution yahoo says it can recognise the file format or that its curropted, i have tried saving it in the different csv type formats but with no luck, is there some other plug-in or program that can help integrate these programs with yahoo or alternativly gmail?

Thanks

  1. Are you still having either problem?
  2. Have you switched or upgraded your distro?
  3. Did 1) only happen in Firefox? -- Did you try Konqueror or Opera?
  4. For 2) did you check for newline problems: *nix vs. M$ vs. Mac?
