Log in to two yahoo accounts at once ( was "Exist" )
how can I open two yahoo email accounts at the same time (I was asked to sign out one to log into the other one; looks like that the y could not exist at the same time)?

You'll need to use two different webbrowsers - when you log into one account, yahoo sets a 'cookie' which tells the machine what account it's using. When you log into the second one, the cookie gets overwritten with the new details.

No, it's a difference between webbrowsers - which web browser are you using?

I use IE in Windows and Safari in Mac (is it possible to use the same web browser to open two yahoo accounts in Mac?)?
Thanks,

No its not possible on Yahoo or Hotmail. The moment you try to log on as user2, it will ask you to confirm the password for user1.

It isn't possible, as stated already, with one browser only..... unless you use Firefox and use the IE tab extension.. (though effectively you are running 2 browsers in one window).. Not sure whether that is available on MAC or not, probably not....
