Is anyone else having problems with Yahoo mail? I've had two people this week tell me that they've sent me something that I've never received. I also had someone a couple of weeks ago have problems getting through. This is driving me crazy! Am I alone in this problem? The worst part is not knowing there's a problem until someone says something. 
Lois: You know, I have a funny feeling that you didn't tell me your biggest secret.
Clark: Well, just to put your little mind at ease, Lois, you're right.

The admins here have been getting intermittent bounces from Yahoo mail for weeks. Not constantly, but every couple of days we'll have a few dozen bounces of mail sent from here to Yahoo accounts. Someone said in another folder that it's to do with more aggressive spam protection, I think. Not sure. Wendy

Sue, I use Yahoo mail as my personal email... Not aware that I'm not receiving any email. But Yahoo itself seems on the fritz a bit this week. Their homepages and news seems to be lagging quite a bit. I'm getting very frustrated with it myself and hope it clears up soon.

Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

I switched over from yahoo mail to gmail about a year ago. It was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. Interesting that it is because of yahoo's increased spam blocking since I still get tons in my junk account. It is very very rare that I get them in gmail anymore. If rivka runs out of gmail invites I have a bunch as well.

Yeah. I have too. For some weeks, almost a month, I hadn't had access to my mailbox. A few days ago, it worked again, and now I have more than a hundred mails to read through... Geez! I pretty sure there is a lot of people wondering why I am not answering... Well, I will. It'll just take me time.

Wendy's right. A lot of colleges in the UK have had tremendous trouble with students who use Yahoo mail. I believe it's to do with Yahoo requiring reverse DNS lookup.
Or was that AOL? Hmm... My memory is failing me.

Yvonne, it's both. And a couple other smaller providers, IIRC. Originally posted by jojo_da_crow: If rivka runs out of gmail invites I have a bunch as well. I think that should be enough.

I have had the same problem with my hotmail account these past few months. There were quite a few mails I never received and I only found out about it when people kept asking me why I didn't reply...  It seems okay now but I still wonder. Natascha
