Is anyone else getting this message when you try to access your

Yahoo! e-mail account?

This site can’t be reached

login.yahoo.com’s server IP address could not be found.

• Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

Getting the same message on AOL.

Running diagnostics didn't help.

Try again later?

            @sgraham30 and @Pamita,  There are numerous reports on the internet.   

            This notice was just posted on AOL Customer Support's official Twitter account:

            "Some customers are reporting an issue with logging into Yahoo and AOL due to a server error.   We are aware and working to get this resolved as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience!"

            When you think your mail provider or a website is out of service -- you get error messages, cannot connect, etc. -- there are sites that provide updates, reports and even constantly-updated outage maps (example: DownDetector.com).   

            The easiest and quickest thing to do is an internet search of something like "yahoo mail down" or "aol mail down" and you'll see all the choices.

Thanks dooBdoo.  Being trying to log into my AOL mail and could not figure out why not.

Mine says server not found

I'm guessing tomorrow it will make me change my password

& months later we'll get notice Yahoo Mail was hacked

This must be the 3rd or 4th e-mail outage with AOL over the past couple of weeks.  What's wrong with them??????!!
