why can't I send e-mail due to "suspicious activity"?
Yahoo! says my account has "suspicious activity" but after checking both my sent mail folder to see if anything was sent that I don't remember sending AND checking my login history, everything is completely legitimate. What's up? What does Yahoo! consider "suspicious"? I use my account for business purposes, and do NOT send any unsolicited e-mail. Is anyone else having this problem?

There is no suspicious activity! This is just one of the latest glitches which has been bothering users since several days. Yahoo staff has been notified and is working on it, but there's no telling when the problem will be solved, sorry...
Note: if you have a mobile with internet capabilities, try to use it to get into your account and take care of the mails. At least 2 users reported that they tried this workaround and were lucky. I could not verify this though since I don't own a mobile...:-)

This glitch has been happening for several days now many people are getting this message. It usually happens if you have sent a lot of mail at once and Yahoo suspect spamming. However currently it is affecting ordinary users. Considering the number of users asking this I am surprised there is no response from Yahoo on the suggestion board.
