When I login in Yahoo Mail, I am logged out automatically from Messenger (the real one).
That's because I appear in Yahoo Mail Chat list.
How to stop that, that is how to stop being logged out from Messenger?

You need to sign out from the messenger in Yahoo Mail. Click the yellowish lightning icon next to Online Contacts (it's grey in the screenshot because I'm signed out).

  • The problem was that you had to do that any time you login in Mail. I tried several times and at some point appeared a window "logout of messenger here or external Messenger". Then I checked "remember the choice". That eventually solved the problem.

  • The full settings are accessible through Options -> Messenger options on top-left of Yahoo Mail. The first tab that opens is called General. There's a setting called Sign Out in the middle of it. Set it to Always sign out here & click OK.
