Anybody else having Yahoo mail problems?

For more than 12 hours I haven't been able to read my email on Yahoo mail. It says "We're experiencing some technical difficulties... temporary error... try back again shortly."

This has been going on since yesterday.

Is the whole Yahoo mail system down or is it localized or only some users affected? Anybody know?

It doesn't use any gas, TRUE! But it never goes anywhere very far from home without a lot of time wasted getting there.

And it gets a lot of flat tires on the way to wherever you are going.


DUMP IT!

7. I'm about to give up on Yahoo

My Yahoo email account has been my primary email for 15 years. Now, during the last nine days, it has been accessible for a total of about 12 hours. Yahoo's "support" seems to be a bad version of Eliza. Yahoo sucks.

8. Final update: Yahoo is a spectacular failure, 15 years of emails gone in a flash

It's been 12 days now and my Yahoo email is still inaccessible with "temporary errors." Meanwhile, Yahoo has been trashing all incoming mail to that account and sending mailer-daemon failure notices to all senders, basically telling all my correspondents that my email account doesn't exist.

I've reported the problem daily to Yahoo. Yahoo has **the very worst support** that I've ever seen. Only two of my reports have gotten an actual answer from an actual person: one told me the problem was solved (which isn't true) and one told me nothing useful. Several times I got an automated response which has exactly one word in it, "response" and a line of hyphens. Their online chat help is unavailable because it's "busy" 24/7.

15 years of my emails gone in a flash.
