I can't sign into my Yahoo email account! Why? ?
I have had my Yahoo email account for many years, and now suddenly I can't sign into it. I am using the correct user-name and I.D. but still no luck. I can't even get any help from phoning Yahoo or any replies from emails that I send to them as they come back to me via the Mailer Daemon! I have even had an on screen message telling me that there is no such user-name or email address! Can anybody help? Surely I am not the first person that has experienced this. Look forward to a quick response and getting this sorted out.

Hi.
same thing has happened to me. it says the username/password is wrong every time, right?
and this is the SECOND time it has happened. the first time, they had completely deactivated my yahoo account. You can tell if this is the case by googling your old Y!A name and seeing if your profile comes up or if it says 'oops' message.
But THIS time, my old profile DOES come up. It hasn't been deactivated/suspended. Because we can't even access mail! WHAT HAS HAPPENED
Try asking on the suggestions board, everyone. Click on 'tell us what you think' at the bottom of this page. And then 'make a suggestion' and ask as a 'question' what's happened. Sometimes the yahoo team replies, or a user might be able to help.

same thing is happening to me right now. I was told that someone i know might have hacked into my account and changed all my information. I emailed myself to see if i would get a bounce back no such email but i haven't so i know it's still out there and good. think back to someone you may have fought with recently or someone who might know all your information.... you might be able to hack back into your own account..

I would recommend that BT upgrade their service maintenance schedule !!!!
