Yahoo thinks i'm a spammer? i've barely sent 10 messages out in the past YEAR! and i checked my Login activity, nothing suspicious there. i NEVER send out bulk emails, and only to colleagues.

even my language is very non-threatening (except that it's all lowercase, but that's just how i "talk" :D )

what to do?

Update:

i think it's because i'm still using Mail Classic! they've "force-switched" me several times, and i always switch back. i think they are trying to "thin the herd" a bit, so they can drop Classic altogether...i can't help it, i just like classic! i'm a tech support for over 100 different clients, and most of them (the ones who use Yahoo Mail) like Classic better too! why won't Yahoo listen to its users?!?

    yeah. you get spam in your Inbox all the time, and non-spam in your Spambox, so i blame Yahoo! on this one...

    Yeah, got here approximately to me, too. For no obvious reason and with out explanation. I have been given an quite adverse reaction from "client care" approximately it - did no longer answer my question or handle the rather undertaking. There seems to be a rash of those blockings happening suitable now. you need to substitute your password on the instant and use the two letters and numbers interior the hot one. it is probably going one among the failings Yahoo will inform you to do, while they get around to responding to you, so do it now. Your account - and maybe hundreds of Yahoo debts - would have been hacked via a working laptop or laptop generated application that guesses passwords and then makes use of them to deliver unsolicited mail. i did no longer discover something in my "despatched" document to show they actually despatched from my account, however the errors messages you get from Yahoo insinuate which you have have been given been spamming so i will in basic terms wager that it is what got here approximately - to you and to me. they are asserting it is for twenty-four hours even though it took them 3 days to stop doing it to me and that i nonetheless had to flow into the gibberish squibbles they popped up on the exhibit for my first attempt to respond to an e mail despatched to me. needless to say, I even have moved my maximum serious e mail contacts to my gmail account. i do no longer want the undertaking and the waste of my time and power dealing with the form of element. the shortcoming of reaction via Yahoo "client care" is appalling.
