Yahoo! Problems?

Taualumna · #1 12-08-2004, 06:11 PM

Is it just me or is Yahoo! Mail having problems? i can't seem to access my yahoo account!

WCUgirl · #2 12-08-2004, 06:13 PM

YES! I have been able to access my account, but all day yesterday and all day today, I'm getting my mail really slowly. I got about 5 messages today that were sent yesterday! And yesterday it was the same thing. I was receiving messages that had been sent after other messages that I hadn't received yet (of course, I didn't know that until I got the messages that had been sent earlier. Clear as mud?). So there's no telling how many emails I have yet to receive from yesterday.

*bump*

Anybody having Yahoo problems today? I keep clicking on different messages, but it routes me back to my Inbox view. It's really strange.

No, my Yahoo account is fine.

At least I think it's fine. I'm not having problems accessing it, anyway.

It keeps taking me back to my welcome page (you know, like if you clicked on the "Mail" tab on the upper left corner). Now it's doing it if I try to click on a folder, such as "Trash" or something. I hope my email hasn't been hacked into again.

I'm getting the same thing when I click on one of my folders.

You are not alone, I'm having the same problems with Yahoo!! I swear I need to find another service and soon. Yahoo is not working for me now days

Whew! Glad I'm not the only one. I wonder if it has anything to do w/ the new News bar they've stuck in there?

I just thought I had blanked out on which button I had pressed.

I like the news bar. It seems to be a positive addition. (unless it is causing this problem)

I got this email in my bulk bin. This can't be good right? I am not/have not opened it. I know viruses are spread through zip files and I have a feeling that Yahoo would not send "important notifications" like this. Any one else got it? Any thoughts?

I use yahoo mail and haven't gotten that message. I don't think it's legit and you shouldn't open it.

Definitely don't open it! Anything Yahoo really sends does not go into Bulk.
Also, Yahoo Mail has a new security feature that authenticates mail sent by all Yahoo accounts:
"DomainKeys Indicator fights forgery
Yahoo! Mail now includes an added layer of protection against thieves out to get your personal info. Watch for the DomainKeys Indicator when an email may not have originated from the domain listed on the "From" line. (for example, is it really from "bank.com" -- or is it from an unexpected source?)"
Click on "What's New" on the top right of your mail home screen.

I found a way to report the email. I'll just have to wait and see.

roqueemae · #14 07-15-2005, 06:03 PM

Okay now I have received the same email about 50 times (seriously-no exaggeration)

It just keeps popping up. I have no idea if it has to do with my email or the girl I am getting it from. I do normally get things from her and the message was something she normally sends so it couldn't be someone who hacked into her account.

WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS MEAN?????

nevermind--it is inching closer to 100 now
