Errors when loading Yahoo Mail?
For the past 2 weeks I have been getting a connection error every time I try to load yahoo mail. It says "A connection error has occurred"
I had to make a gmail account just to be able to have email with people due to this error.
I can't figure out how to mail customer support. And I'm thinking about deactivating my account. The only reason I haven't is because I don't want to lose my flikr account. or Yahoo answers. -__-
Any suggestions?

Two suggestions. One, try accessing Yahoo through a different web browser or update your current web browser. The most recent Yahoo Mail upgrade has been having a lot of problems with Internet Explorer 8 and under.
To upgrade or download:

http://downloads.yahoo.com/us/firefox/
https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/
Other users have posted that disabling the Conversations feature in Yahoo Mail eliminates this error.
To disable Conversations:
Sign in to Yahoo Mail http://mail.yahoo.com/
Hover your cursor over the gear icon in the upper-right corner
Select Settings
From the list on the left, select Viewing email
Locate Enable Conversations and uncheck the box to disable this feature
Click Save
Enable or disable Conversations in Yahoo Mail --
