Why can't I access my yahoo email account?

For about 3 weeks I have not been able to access my email account. I have deleted all cookies, temporary internet files, history, the works. I have done a disk defragment, cleaned up the hard drive. I have turned off firewalls and security and still I can't access my mail account. I have tried on other computers and still I can't access my email. I can log in to yahoo and can go into my address book, messenger etc but as soon as I click mail it says it cannot find the page or is otherwise a complete blank page. I have signed in and out a million times and it still doesn't work. The thing is I can access my email account on the internet on my mobile phone but not from any computer. I have loads of folders within my email account which I need to access to along with being able to email people. I have contacted yahoo and keep getting told to do all the things that I have already done even after telling them so. Could someone please help with an intelligent answer

Update:

Finally I got in to my mail and switched back to classic as advised by yahoo consultant and then it kicked me out and I still can't access my mail again. I can log in to yahoo but when I click mail it now asks me to log in again, so I do and then the screen flickers back to log in as if I never in logged in. Can then go back to yahoo home page and log in that way but still can't access mail. How can I change to the new mail system that has just been released when I can't even access my mail.

    I have also been having trouble with getting into my yahoo mail for more than 2 weeks now. In my particular case this has nothing to do with any settings on my pc. I have 2 other yahoo old mail accounts that I rarely use and I can get into them fine. I have tried accessing my mail on 4 different computers which clarified that its something to do with yahoo. I emailed yahoo a week ago now and they said they are investigating the problem. I also read that this month all existing yahoo email accounts are being transferred to the beta version and that there are issues. Its driving me crazy at the moment. I have important mails in there with information that I really do need to have access to.

    Sorry, I do not have an answer but I too am looking for the same answer you seek. I am experiencing the same problem. So it is certainly not a one of a kind problem. I am in hopes of getting an answer that works soon. This problem started yesterday, and it is with an e-mail account that I recieve lots of business messages and need access to them immediately. Every time I log in, the page goes blank and then identifies the server cannot be found. I have performed the same operations to try to fix the problem on my end, but to no avail. I can not log on from any other computer either. I get e-mail messages on my phone and can see the brief one-line on the home page mail observer, but cannot get into the mailbox. No server can be found! I can log into another e-mail account just fine, but why not my primary account? Help!

    I have been having the same issues as everyone else!! Any & all other sites are accessible for me & I have no problems navigating any where on the web. This is definitely a serious issue for all yahoo email account holders. Does anyone know of other available email accounts that I can get & be able to transfer all my emails into from yahoo, I ask this because I am exhausted from trying to get help from yahoo.

    I am having the same problem for several days. Says Technical Difficulties. Temporary Error 3. It also says I have 2 messages and that hasn't changed so something is going on. Would love to be able to get in to my email account!

    I can log into Yahoo, but when I try to access my email it asks for the password again as if I haven't logged in. When I type in the password it flickers back to the same or I get an error that my id or password is incorrect??? I have tried changing my password, but that doesn't help. Very Frustrated!!!!

    Think its just because Yahoo's server capacity isn't very high. For example Facebook has a extremely high server cap.
