Anyone else having problems with Yahoo mail?

[ddeder]

It seems some e-mails are coming through and some are not. I have even tried e-mailing myself from another Yahoo ID that I have and THAT e-mail did not come through. A couple of my family members have complained of the same thing lately. Anyone else having problems?

Yes, I forward all of my work email address to my personal Yahoo account and they recently stopped working. I contacted our webhoster and they couldn't figure out why my corporate emails were not making it to my Yahoo account.

Then I realized that Yahoo! may be at fault. It seems they have blacklisted some ISPs and SMTP servers for "abuse", whatever that means, and you have to manually enable them:

My webhoster's customer service has put in a request on my behalf. You can probably do it yourself.

Hope this helps.

I noticed that sometimes I'll check it all day and nothing, then all of a sudden I'll get one that says it was received hours ago. I'm guessing they are having server issues over there.

I've been having problems off and on for some time.

I think the problems are getting worse. For the last couple of weeks, Yahoo mail will not open during busy times (morning, evening). Now every day I cannot log into mail because the site will not even pull up. I can get to the Yahoo mainpage, but email is down. This is frustrating because I have had a particular email account with them for 8 years, that everyone that knows me uses, and I am going to be forced to migrate to a new address. I have my own domain name already, but getting my stored emails and such backed up is going to be a major pain in the ass.

WTF happened to Yahoo email? Do they have the money to keep their servers upgraded?
