    Yes mine is as well i was just about to ask the same question, but it looks like its for everyone.

    Yes, lots of people are having problems with this at the moment. I haven't been able to get in for the last few days. However you can get in via http://us.m.yahoo.com/p/mail or: http://de.m.yahoo/com/p/mail. You can read and send emails only without attachments. Hope this helps

    I've been having exactly the same problems all week. But then again it seems to happen at least every few months and it's such a time-waster. What I don't understand is why don't Yahoo do like MSN and put something out on their home page explaining that there are problems, what's causing it & how long it's likely to take to resolve. Also why don't Yahoo look at sites like this now & again to see what sort of problems people are having with Yahoo & put out a response? I have been with Yahoo for years & don't really want to change but might have to as I'm fed-up!

    I have also had problems with Yahoo all week. Thought it was my internet connections at first but it was exactly the same at work.

    I find it slightly quicker on Explorer than Mozilla but it's still about 5-10 minutes to open a page.

    It's a complete joke and if it's not sorted soon I'm switching all my email to gmail.

    Sort it out Yahoo. It's a pathetic service.

    Seems to happen every year around this time. Posssibly too many people, causing an overload of the yahoo servers. I would think, tahat after many years of this that they would upgrade the servers to handle the email traffic. Ed

    I am glad we are not the only ones experiencing this - I thought I was going mad. Let's hope someone from Yahoo is reading this and sorts the problem out!!!!
