Is it only me, or can others also not access their Yahoo! Mail accounts? I mean, I can't even pull up the front page of the mail.

Fack. Think it's only .com mail that isn't going.
Jules Winnfield
Do you check mail on the site or use a client?
Showem
on the site
Small Town Boy
I keep having to enter the text in these stupid images before I can send an email; now the images aren't loading so I can't send the email...
Jules Winnfield
I use a client and had some trouble earlier today.

Where the hell is the Yahoo! Mail girl!? The pics and people change all the time now! WAH!
Small Town Boy
Completely irrelevantly, has anyone switched over the new Yahoo! Email Beta version? I ran it for a couple of weeks but it was soooooo sluggish that I've switched back to the old one.
Jules Winnfield
I used it for a while, but as you said, it was a little slow so I switched back to normal mail; when I don't use a client that is.
hockeywidow
mine is .com

I have switched to the beta version and so far it's working fine.

DJ_Jazzy_Guff
Yeah, I haven't been able to get in all day either. Sure it'll be up and running later.
Small Town Boy
Couldn't access mine last night, today it's been fine though.

Just found this news report:

Yahoo fixes e-mail glitch

Yahoo says it has fixed a glitch that kept some Yahoo Mail users from accessing their e-mail for a few days between June 21 and June 24. A "small fraction of one percent" of Yahoo Mail users were affected, and most had their accounts restored on June 24, a Yahoo spokeswoman said. "The issue has been resolved; however, e-mail messages sent to the impacted accounts during that time were not able to be delivered and were returned to the sender," said spokeswoman Kelly Podboy.

Maybe they didn't manage to fix it too well after all. I still can't get in. Messages being pinged back would be a right old pain.

Well mine still not bloody working @uk.yahoo!!!
Schotte
i get into mine but generally nothing more than from top down to and including the search mail box comes up. annoying.
bluedave
Still can't get in sad.gif
bluedave
Has Yahoo totally crashed ? is it a "denial of service" issue ? can't open articles, mail or anything huh.gif
Saz
Having issues with access to my mail and also news articles etc.
Connection keeps timing out or takes too long.
perdido
I can get into .com but not into .de.
bluedave
I can get into the front page, no prob but can't access anything on it, can you Perdido ?

I think you guys just spend too much time online. How did you notice it was not working? I thought I am the one who is online most of the time in this online area... smile.gif

How come I missed this ???

Probably yahoo is taking coffee- and barbecue breaks just about as often as I do... laugh.gif , moreover, we are even on the same wavelength!
Bell the cat
and mine is still down. been down for awhile too
bluedave
All day long here, had probs in the past but never this long before
julia
Must be due to the Yahoo Answers section!
I think they are overloading their servers with that feature - I bet there are more people asking and answering in there than the number of email and voicechat users alltogether, worldwide... wink.gif
Thousands of questions running in in each and every second... amazing!
Have you tried yet?
Schotte
mine seems to be back to normal now.

i remember a couple of years ago i filled out some online help form as i couldnt get into yahoo mail for 4 days or so and eventually someone from a totally different company phoned and sounded well narked that i had bothered to get in touch. weird.
eurobabs
I have been in and out of yahoo.com mail all day without any problems at all. Yesterday though I could not get into yahoo.de.
Kebab Meister
I had just updated Outlook 2003 and then I kept getting errors saying that I was unable to send/receive emails. Needless to say that I spent ages checking settings, then trying to phone BT Internet (I have BT Yahoo email) blah blah blah... I eventually came to the conclusion that it was a coincidence that my email went down after updating Outlook... but what a pain in the arse! wink.gif

UK users of Yahoo! were without a number of services, including e-mail and instant messenger, on Sunday due to a power failure.

A spokesman told BBC News: "Yahoo! search, Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Messenger were quickly restored to normal operation as were many of our content services."

"The remaining services are returning to normal now. We apologise to any of our users who may have been inconvenienced."

MySpace shut down by US heatwave

Quickly ??? Not!!!
julia
Hey, Yahoo.com (just as yahoo.co.uk) is a FREE service for everyday users, after all... what would you do if you had to PAY for each single in- and out-email??? If you ask me, I'd probably go bankrupt. laugh.gif

If they have a problem on the server, let them fix it - don't expect such high standards on a free service...
Small Town Boy
I don't really follow your logic, Julia. As a free service, Yahoo! relies entirely on advertisers. If their service is regularly unavailable, people will quickly change email provider, the advertisers will stop advertising and Yahoo! will go out of business.

For example.

The spokesperson said QUICKLY, and it surely was NOT quick. I struggled all day Sunday to get into my Yahoo mail, and was only able to do so on Monday.

I made a comment on his comment!

I Do realise that Yahoo is a free service.

Afterall that is why I use it. dry.gif Frustrations and all.

I can get into .com but not into .de.

If you can't get in on http://www.yahoo.de then try http://de.yahoo.com instead as that's what the .de URL redirects to anyway.

For some reason I'm not getting my emails on Yahoo until hours after they are sent... Not normal. Anyone else having this problem?

People been having probs with Yahoo mail for a while, Yahoo Mail

Hi, I don´t usually post but need help. It´s been more than 24 hours and I can seem to connect to the Yahoo homepage. Only the German and UK pages are working but you can´t log on to the email. I have no problems surfing other pages though. Is anyone out there having the same problem?
Thanks!
Janx Spirit
Some problems accessing certain pages (want an IE or Firefox update) but you can work around the problem. Email no problem.
perdido
No prob here
OnPAR
Oh dear, I don´t know what to do then! I could not access email or the yahoo pages at all. And I am not sure what to do because my pc is in German. But thanks so much for checking!!!
Darkknight
I have been starting to have problems accessing certains site too...
It appears that 1und1 and switching their backbone network over to
mediaways.net (Telefonica), and there are some major routing issues..

I have tried running traceroutes to many different web sites, almost half
of the fail somewhere in the MW network..

Maybe YL6 can use his contacts to get these fookers to fix their $hit wink.gif
OnPAR
oh, that makes some sense as I am on 1und1 too!!! Thanks alot. I will be patient or use a friend´s pc to check my emails!!! Thanks everyone! Have a good Wednesday! biggrin.gif
