Problems with YA email?

I have written a couple of emails with the YA email system, but they haven't been going through. All I get is an 'oops' message from YA. This has been going on for about a week. I'd like to clear these pending mails from my computer. I've rebooted my computer and my 'net connection, and tried from several different locations and ISPs. nada. All other computer systems work fine, including Skype and other high-bandwidth applications.

I've used it in the past with no problem, but 'tain't working now. Would someone try to send me an email through YA, and let me know in your answer that you sent it, just to see if I can at least receive mail?

Anyone else unable to use the YA email system? Has anyone ever gotten any kind of meaningful help from the YA staff?

Thanks for your help!

Update:

Thanks, Barkley! I'll delete this soon, just so prevent filling my inbox with repeat answers.

    Yahoo knows about the problem. Here is their comment in the suggestion forum:
