To fix this problem, Install Stylish etc and then use this script:



@namespace url(www.w3.org);

@-moz-document domain("mail.yahoo.com") {
div#menu-external-links {left:auto !important; right:0 !important}
div#uh > div.brand > h1, div#theAd, div.upsell, div.links > span {display:none !important}
div.links > span#btn-external-links {display:block !important; position:relative !important; ; top:-14px !important; left:20px !important;}
div.links > span#btn-external-links a {width:12px !important; background-image:url('') !important; color:transparent !important; overflow:hidden !important}
body > div#menu-external-links {left:auto !important; right:10px !important}
div#uh > div.right > div#search {margin-top:3px !important;}

div#uh {height:37px !important}
div.nav-bar {top:37px !important}
div#main {top:67px !important}
div#shellnavigation, div#shellcontent {top:102px !important}

/* Ad removal */
#shellcontent {
right: 0px !important;
}
#theAd {
display: none !important;
}

Note: this was taken from two styles from the Stylish website, I don't take any credit except taking the two of them and merging them together as neither of them did what I wanted by themselves.

I need to visit it it regually as I find so much legitimate email that has been captured by their spam filtering, and they only way to find it is through webmail.

You probably can, but then you end up with a whole heap of spam coming through. Probably 100 per day. I don't think it has settings where you can adjust it's sensitivity. It is the worst antispam system I have used, as so many emails get wrong classified. I am phasing my xtra email address out because of this.

1212015 2011-06-27 12:39:00 I know what it's like because I used to get a lot (90 a day IIRC at the peak), but since the McColo raid I get about 1-3 a day now, sometimes even none.

I used to use Mailwasher, that's a pretty good program...
