Yahoo Mail fail casts shadow over efforts to turn firm around
Many of Yahoo's 100 million users have been unable to send or receive email this week. One expert calls the outage a 'blemish' on Marissa Mayer's tenure as CEO.

SAN FRANCISCO — Even for Yahoo Inc., a company with a lengthy track record of failure, this was an epic fail.

For five days this week an untold number of its 100 million users couldn't send or receive email, prompting many longtime, loyal users to savage the company on social media and threaten to leave for another email service.

Despite the misery the outage caused people and businesses — who could have sent a letter faster than they could an email — Yahoo was slow to respond and even slower to inform users about it.

Even Yahoo employees don't want to use it. In an internal memo leaked to All Things D tech blogger Kara Swisher, Yahoo management begged employees to switch their corporate email accounts from Microsoft Outlook to Yahoo Mail.

4. Our ISP forced everyone to use Yahoo email

and sent out instructions on how to make the switch, last year.
Yahoo has devolved into a nightmarish email provider,have not used them for ages.

Fortunately, it was all about the ISP no longer providing email service
which meant I could actually choose ANY email service for local mail.
So I chose Opera, while waiting for Start Page to roll out its totally private email service.

and now, reading the OP, sure am glad.
