My Yahoo mail account has been down all day. This happening to anybody else?
Anybody know what's going on?

(4,358 posts)It used to be that being locked out of your e-mail for a day or two was no big hardship. Now our e-mail boxes are lifelines to finding and performing work, receiving financial documents and paying bills, and sometimes even staying in contact with people. Some Yahoo Mail users are not pleased that the sudden scheduled maintenance of Yahoo Mail has locked them out of their accounts since Sunday night.
Reader John is one affected user. Yahoo said on their Facebook page that they expected the situation to be corrected by 1:30 PM Pacific time [yesterday], he notes. That deadline passed without everyone magically regaining access. Since then Yahoo has gone into silence no messages, notices, or other communication regarding the outage.
The last announcement from the company regarding the problems came in the form of this tweet, also posted to Facebook.
We know some of our users are unable to use Yahoo Mail. We're on it & trying to restore access in a few hours. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The Facebook version of the announcement has more than 1,700 angry comments posted as recently as a few minutes ago.
We contacted Yahoo about the outage, and will let you know what they have to say when they respond.
