Yahoo Mail problems

[Jeff Ellis]

My email account is one of the millions that have been off-line for the last couple of days. Since they upgraded (if its not broken dont fix it) their email system things have been getting steadily more unstable and now they have fallen over altogether.

I am using a hotmail account in the meantime jellis2006 at hotmail dot co dot uk

Anyone wanting to comfort me in my email loneliness will be very welcome :-)

There once was a boy called Ishmael,

Who mourned the loss of his email,

He tried yelling at Yahoo,

With a mighty f'you,

And that's why they sent him a He-male.

You shouldn't encourage me, Des. You know that.

There was was a man named Jeff Ellis

One of those really nice fellas

Who try to send mail

Through the ether but fail

Of which he sadly then must tell us.

Hey, it's off the cuff! Give me a break!

I had the same problem. Goggled Yahoo mail, got to my mail and bookmarked it. It seems they changed locations.

Working here! I have a couple of different Yahoo accounts. (I refuse to guy into GMail because I hate the interface, and I dislike Microsoft so I won't use their Live Email service.) They're all kinda crappy, if you want to know the truth.

I actually pay for my Yahoo account because I've had it so long -- 14 years, last time I checked. I got it when I wrote my first novel in 1999-2000, mainly to get email from readers. But I confess, getting support from Yahoo is a total drag.

I'm not getting the usual email at my yahoo account. I use it for mail that I don't want sent to my regular email The inbox still works, I sent myself an email and it was delivered. I still get loads of spam in the spam folder.

I've tried both Yahoo! and Gmail and both can drive me crazy, but Yahoo! has more problems.

I've tried several other providers, too, and no one has a perfect system. I chose Gmail because is seemed the lesser of several evils. But don't for a minute think it's problem-free. It isn't.

Yahoo trumpeted loudly that they had fixed their system, but across the holiday I lost a whole section of inward correspondence that never arrived and as far as I can tell my yahoo based messages to them didnt arrive either. So, if you are sending from or to yahoo addresses that dont seem as active as they were... assume the worst.
