    This is one of 15 current problems. We saw this happen in 2009 and 2010 when Yahoo did upgrades to YMail. It is happening again. Yahoo is introducing its 2013 version of YMail. Not everyone is affected at the same time but there are lots of problems and error messages.

    Yahoo was asked why they don't shut down the site for a day or 2 while they make the changes. A Yahoo Tech said that they need to have the site up and running to see if things are working... and to make fixes.

    In 2009 the problems lasted for almost 6 weeks. Then, suddenly, everything worked perfectly. The problem you mention has been reported to Yahoo. Their only suggestion is to switch to another browser until the work is done (altho Yahoo is supposed to work with all browsers).

    comparable situation right here, and additionally all started on the comparable date, 10/18/2011. I easily have tried 3 different computers, 3 different browsers and not something works. I easily have switched returned to Yahoo classic, whether it nonetheless would not artwork. the only distinction being that as quickly as I attempt to attach a report i'm getting a information superhighway internet site that purely says "Server Hangup". interior the "new" Yahoo Mail you get no indication of errors. It purely does no longer something. I easily have yet another, much less used, Yahoo account and each thing works high quality there. i'm guessing that this situation is remoted to a team of consumer bills, probable all housed on the comparable server or set of servers. purely a guess. Getting help from Yahoo by ability of way of the information superhighway is impossible. we would desire to locate the thank you to inform them of this concern. further data: As of this morning, 10/20/2011 attachments look working returned. i will upload and get carry of digital mail attachments so Yahoo would desire to have stumbled on the situation. once you're nonetheless having problems i could say wait and notice because it sort of feels that they are engaged on it.
