Anybody else having trouble signing into Yahoo Mail? I called there help center and of course, they

said they had so many callers they couldn't answer.

I tried resetting my password, and it shows my mail for just a few seconds - then tells me to sign in again. This happens over and over.

I have heard that they are having problems.

I thought it was related to recent "upgrading" (lol) issues.

Or worse. ( i.e. *me*)

this week when their site wouldn't let me read my mail. I could see the titles of my emails, but when I clicked on one to read it, I kept getting an error message. Rebooted and everything was fine, although slow.

I'm still trying to figure out how the "new" yahoo mail is an improvement.

Still had the weird error messages you described.

The problem seems to have resolved itself well after that... a few minutes ago, as a matter of fact.

Yahoo Mail is in disarray.

They shouldn't have "improved" it.

So I think it is a very temporary glitch and no changes need to be made on your end. Just wait half an hour or so if it is still giving you problems.

I agree with whoever said someone needs to be fired over this Yahoo Mail debacle. I've used it for a decade and never once worried about the security or access to my email. I don't think I can ever consider Yahoo Mail safe and reliable again after the past few months.

it's bouncing emails.

Just heard from a listserve I'm on that they had three bounces and were going to drop me.
