Why can't I get into Yahoo! mail?
My user name and password seem to work for everything else in Yahoo! but not my mail. It just comes up with a "The page cannot be displayed" page. What's the problem and how do I correct it?

Here is your answer to why YAHOO! isn't working today!?
If your computer is freaking out and not working today....here is my blanket answer......I hope this helps some of you out!
I was told that this was coming over the weekend. You need to get Automatic Updates downloaded on your computer. There is a patch that will fix this problem in those updates. But if not, then you can select it.
You will not be able to access your mail until you get the patch installed.
Apparently this has something to do with the time change.
Good luck!

I'm assuming the server handling the mail is either under maintenance or probably just encountered some technical difficulties. I'm sure given a few hours at most, the mail server will be back up and running! This has happened before.

I am having the exact same problem. I log in, and I can access other personalized Yahoo! areas, but it will not display my main mail page (which includes folders, inbox, et cetera). What's up with this?

I am having the exact same problem! Everything else is working except my mail. I guess we just have to wait until it is fixed.

Message I received an hour ago.
There was a problem accessing your mailbox. This is most likely a temporary problem that should resolve itself within 10 minutes. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you.

Yahoo Mail is down for repairs right now.
(Whenever they need to upgrade or repair, they always do it on Sunday).
No one's getting in!
Relax... go smoke a cigarette or something?
