I just sent myself an email to a Yahoo account with a link to Google, from
another account, via OE and it went through just fine.

Are you sending via OE with a PAID Yahoo account?

Pop, see if you can help me with Yahoo. If its going to a Yahoo
address, they're blocking just about everything with a link that
isn't Yahoo. I cannot even email my own Yahoo account (I've tested my
theory) with any link in it but a Yahoo link...and cannot raise a
human to discuss this with. My DSL company is also working on the
same thing with them for other customers. I cannot even send to my
family members who have a Yahoo email address, and they definitely
bounce if I put in a link--so I just write the links out now, and
don't use the punctuation marks, etc. sheesh. I am on a national
health advocacy board and this is frustrating. People all over the
world are ill and waiting for our response (healthcare referrals) but
if they're using Yahoo we cannot get our email through to them
without carefully "going around" anything and everything that seems
like multiple sends or links (even NIH/NCI, etc.).
I had a spell there where I received emails in my Deleted Items, or
Drafts folder after the penultimate OE6.00 update, too. Never could
figure it out. Whatever MS is doing with OE, its not user-friendly,
and they have not notified all of their customers. I'm testing
Thunderbird (Mozilla) now. Tired of this new OE process of having to
go "offline" before we delete our posts or emails, and before we
compress our folders, then check the Recycle Bin and delete IT, if
our Email's all there after compressing the Folders. I don't want all
that on my HD every day.. Its a huge waste of time.
