Yahoo mail constantly down ...

[rh71]

http://mail.yahoo.com (if you have an account)... it's just sucking these days... :|

I have my own domain email (though slower) but I already had a ton of stuff go through Yahoo and Hotmail so those are my primaries. Every damn time I go to check it last 3-4 days... it's down... :|

I'm getting this all the damn time.

EDIT/UPDATE>> *FIXED*
I posted this question on a dslreports.com board specific for my ISP. Turns out the reason for this was that I was using a POP3 assist program like YahooPOPs (but I actually use web2pop). If I download more than a certain amount of emails... yahoo will do this to my account now... (they didn't in the past).

must just be you

 

[rh71]

why, is it working for you ?

EDIT>> Yeah, it just started working again now... but for how long... :|

 

[RossMAN]

Ogg might be right.

Yahoo! Mail is rarely ever down for me.

 

[imported_yovonbishop]

yeah it's never down for me. I check it every day and I already checked it this morning, it was fine (slow though)

 

[rh71]

just the last few days... it had been reliable before...

 

[NuclearNed]

Its rarely down for me as well.

 

[mjrand]

It's been working perfectly fine for me the last few days whenever I checked.

 

[rh71]

down again... WTF.. (Yahoo currently unavailable - not the Page Cannot Be Displayed)

I hit refresh like 15 times and it finally comes up...

Works for me. Just tested now. Must be your connection.

Rarely down for me. Dont' even check it anymore since outlook grabs it all by pop.

 

clear your cookies and then do a tracert and ping.

No problems here, either. Have sent and received several emails over the last couple of hours. I don't think I've ever been unable to get to my Yahoo account. Now, Hotmail....that's a different story...

 

[rh71]

the tracert and everything should be fine (and it is)... cause i'm getting this page instead of a PCBD. Already cleared cookies and cache...

Happens in Firefox too. Can we possibly be on different Y! servers or something ?

 

[cronos]

never have any problem with Yahoo.

 

[OrganizedChaos]

my rocketmail address hasn't gone down since yahoo took it over and i still get my 6 meg free

Are you using YahooPops or have someone using it on your computer or from the same IP?

 

[conjur]

Just get YahooPOPS!

 

[GhettoFob]

It's not down very much for me, but it has seemed a little slower as of late.

I've been getting the "Page cannot be displayed" for BOTH yahoo and hotmail the past few days. No other sites are doing this, even ones that are secure servers. I can sign into Yahoo, and sometimes view my inbox, but can't even sign in to my hotmail acct. They're just my spambait accounts, but they're rapidly filling up and I want to slush them out. HELP. Anyone have any clues?

Edit: I cleared my cookies, and it made things worse. I can't even sign into Yahoo anymore. Also, I'm just going to the website to read mail, not popping the server with any outside program.

I guess I have to utilize the bulk mail folder so I only grab the legit emails from the account through web2pop now... (and I haven't gotten this error since doing so).

EDIT>> Good call, fr. Do you know what that limit may be?
