What is this human verification error and how do I fix it?

When I send email, it makes me type the weird number/letter code and when I click "ok" it tells me that Method HumanVerification does not exist. I am unable to send ANY email.

    I am having the same problem and have been having it for a few days!! It is really making me mad. The Yahoo solution to restart the browser doesn't help at all...I just tried switching back to the old format from Beta and it worked in the old format. give that a try.

    What e-mail service are you using? Most of the web services ask for Human Verification when registering a new account. They ask you to enter a set of characters or numbers from an Image. To make sure that you are human and not a bot creating an account.

    I don't know of any E-mail service that asks for Human Verification when sending an email. That would be insane, to verify each time we send a mail. Please specify which email service you are using. You email settings might have a feature to enable this feature, so go to your email settings -> security and make sure you turn of this option. So that you will not be prompted for this verification each time you send a mail.

    Having the same problem and yahoo doesn't seem to care about fixing it. I called support and them seem to not know anything and kept asking what "I" did.
