I can't get at my Yahoo Mail! Does anyone know what is going on?

It was fine early this morning. Is anyone else unable to get to their mail?

Update:

I also get the "Sorry ..." message across the top of the page in a yellow stripe.

There seems to be more stuff going on too. Answers is messed up.

Update 2:

Now I can't get past the 1st page of any category's q's either. Clicking to the second page brings me instead to the q's on the board overall.

Update 3:

I was just able to access my mail! Whew!

    I can't either. It says 'error'. Check in the Yahoo Mail category. Others can't either. Latest glitch?? Hopefully, the issue will get resolved very soon!

    This is the exact message I get:

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    We're sorry, but Yahoo! Mail has encountered a temporary error. You can try back again shortly, or visit our Help pages for ways you might be able to fix the issue yourself (Temporary Error 1).

    Thanks,

    The Yahoo! Mail Team

    Edit:someone posted on the SB so hopefully, the team will see it..

    We're working on finding out what the cause is and then solving it. We'll keep you posted here about the Answers side of things.

    Everything seems to be working fine for me now...

    I get the internal server message and refreshing the page does not work either. We can just wait it out and hope it doesn't last.

    I tried to post a bug report on the suggestion board but can't get the Suggestions option to open.

    There is a BUG Report now on the board.

    Hopefully your problem has been solved by now.This could be a regional glitch as one of my contacts in North Carolina asked the same question about the same time.

    I do not know what state the Yahoo servers are located.

    Welcome to Yahoo! Mail

    This is what I am seeing. That is as far as I can get.

    Yahoo! Mail is now even faster, safer, and easier to use. Yahoo! now automatically identifies items such as words, links, people, and subjects from your email to learn what matters to you so that we can deliver exciting new product features and relevant ads.

    Before you can access Yahoo! Mail, we need your consent to our new Terms of Service and the Yahoo! Mail Privacy Policy. Learn more about how we protect your privacy.

    I Accept No, Thanks

    Been down for about 30 minutes so far (here in North California.) I think att.net is "upgrading" to something new.... that may mean a longer wait.

    Damn, someone just sent me an important email an hour ago!
