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.

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.

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.

That would be me.

If anyone would like a Gmail invite, I'd be happy to provide one.

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

Yvonne, it's both. And a couple other smaller providers, IIRC.

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.
