Two likely reasons:

(1) (Assuming you are accepting cookies) make sure you are accepting *all*
cookies, and not just first party cookies.

(2) Check that Javascript is enabled.

The problem here is that both of the above "fixes" open big security holes
:-(   The better solution is not to use insecure third party mail services
such as hotmail and yahoo.
