Just as a poll. I am having problem in Silicon Valley. Any other geographic area experiencing the same error? Appears to be wide spread:

Update:

Thanks to night owl Tom across the pond ... wonder if it is the same problem as Amazon's Cloud Server problems.

Update 2:

DC guy, the ymail has recovered in Silicon Valley around 2pm PT or 5pm ET. Not sure if Tom's working or not.
