Yahoo Mail Is A Big Mess

nafecar · ‎03-10-2010

For several days now Yahoo mail has been having a terrible time I am so frustrated . Can't find out anything except lots of people are having a problem opening mail etc. I would change mail services but there are so many things I have coming into my Y. acct I really do not want to do that, any others having the same problems? . First they stopped the email alerts now this . !!!

I have Yahoo mail and not having any problem. Looks like we are both in So. Calif. nafecar so maybe it's just a local problem in your area?

Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I don't use Yahoo mail, but I looked and found reports of problems. Notice not only the status history graphs but also the outage maps and the user comments on some of the links:

My ISP uses Yahoo for webmail and it's been messed up in one way or another for some time now. They remind me of the QVC website - every time they set out to 'fix' or 'improve' things they make it worse.

I had problems last week, but so far nothing today!

Same here. I will also add I HATE the "new" Yahoo mail. It drove me buggy. I disliked everything about it, mostly the way it linked emails into chains, which I did not always want. I changed back to "classic" Yahoo mail and am very happy with that.

Mine was offline for a while yesterday, but there was a message saying they were aware and were fixing it. It wasn't down long, and I didn't need it urgently.

Ordinarily I don't have any problems with it. I have adblocker and that gets rid of all the "dross", so it looks very clean and tidy and it works perfectly well. I wouldn't compare it to QVC; it doesn't have a font size issue, it doesn't have broken links and it works with every browser I've tried Smile

People still use Yahoo?

Why not? I have a regular, paid-for email address that I use for more personal correspondence and don't want filled with junk, and I have a throw-away spam magnet address (yahoo) that I use whenever a site insists on having my email address. I used to use hotmail, but fell out with them for several reasons. So I use yahoo. It works for what I need it to do, so what's wrong with that?

I have even more issues with google (gmail) than I did with hotmail, so that's not on my list of options.

Thanks for all the reply's.

BeckiWV I also hate the ""new"" yahoo I can go back to the classic but when I go back to mail after I leave the site I have to do it all over again . Oh well just another tiny bump in the road !!!
