No it is not possible in this case.Here you have assumed the person
would be using the computer only at one place.
Which is not the case with me.I have to go to office where I do not
have the office email account (yes thats correct)
and I can not use such a thing all the time.So as that I say my sys
admin to configure some sort of proxy for me to be able
to use Yahoo,Gmail or Rediff just because evolution exists that
doesn't mean that it will be done by my sysadmin.
Above some suggestion to take it to Yahoo design team is some thing I
feel correct I just wanted to confirm if some one else has also faced
similar thing.
