Yahoo! Mail Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • thestobor Stephen Pierce (@thestobor) reported

    Tech support for my neighbor involves mostly confirming to them that the shittiest, low level phishes are not real. Hey @yahoomail fix your spam filters. People are impersonating you and scaring users about your premium mail product.

  • Hospitalssf Hospital Services Support Foundation (@Hospitalssf) reported

    @yahoomail is a waste of time. I have a business account and having constant problems. Yahoo's technical incompetence is beyond me. They do not test software upgrades well before they release. Users become painful guinea pigs.

  • Stefan_Bachmann Stefan Bachmann (@Stefan_Bachmann) reported

    @EMentior They’re not unhinged, they’re great so yayyyy! :D (I’m just terrible at keeping up with WhatsApp, it’s become the yahoo mail of my message apps somehow.)

  • RoyCalbeck Pointed Commentary (@RoyCalbeck) reported

    @sacrificialcall @DoctorBarkanine Yeah, it didn't. The search engine is LESS used, but most of its services were always embedded in other companies. Yahoo Mail, for example? That was always AT&T. Part of my job there was to help with account servicing and server hosting.

  • bungajeumpa (@bungajeumpa) reported

    No social media update if this platform going down you gotta send me a pigeon to know my life update or like yahoomail will do too

  • SnorkelCapital Gilgamesh (@SnorkelCapital) reported

    @kieran_eth @coinbase The problem is the actual coinbase has sent out similar scam emails in the past, lol. But yeah I just delete anything in that vein that shows up on my yahoo mail on the line

  • SamCarvalho Samuel Carvalho (@SamCarvalho) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    Is @yahoomail down as it’s been problematic for the last 24 or so hours and now won’t work at all and isn’t an issue my side.

  • FckYeahitsRayne R.D.V 🌈 🌈 (@FckYeahitsRayne) reported

    @yahoomail sent a DM account has been compromised and i need to get into it! Some how the number changed to a very old number i havent had since forever, and keeps saying my password is incorrect. Never changed my password. Why should I have to pay for your security issues???

    I used my Gmail as a recovery email for my yahoo mail, tell me why my yahoo mails are now showing on my Gmail, what do I do to fix this 😭😭😭😭😭

  • ErinPryce6 Erin Pryce (@ErinPryce6) reported

    I just want to access my emails but @yahoomail seems to be down 🫠

  • Dogzead dogzead (@Dogzead) reported

    Yahoo mail was down AGAIN today when I was waiting for important correspondence, this is 2nd time in a week

  • QuintenKock Quinten **** (@QuintenKock) reported

    @owillis @keepof4worlds @KatyMontgomerie How did you decide whether to use Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, ProtonMail or literally any other email provider out there? If you can pick Gmail out of that nearly infinite list, I'm sure you can find a Mastodon server too!

  • DaisyJHollands Daisy (@DaisyJHollands) reported

    Sky/Yahoo mail down. I guess the emails telling me I needed to update my mailbox or lose my account were genuine. Odd that it’s taken several years and not “in the next 48 hours” like they threatened.

  • wheatocean wheat (@wheatocean) reported

    @Han_Siebo @LefterisJP Imagine yahoomail banned your email account. You can make a new account anywhere (or make your own mail server). You can’t get banned from Mastodon the same way you can’t get banned from email.

  • bravenewHK HomageTo 🏴🇺🇦 (@bravenewHK) reported

    @ContraPoints basically it is like email you can make an email account on Protonmail, gmail, yahoo mail whatever, similarly you can make one on different mastodon servers (they call it "instances") in the end people can (mostly) talk with each other provided that you server is not shunned

    @yahoomail Yahoo mail was down AGAIN today when I was waiting for important correspondence, this is 2nd time in a week

  • Meatwad650 An actual *** of meat. (@Meatwad650) reported

    @yahoomail No matter what settings I change you’re attaching my full name to outbound emails using your app on iOS. No, I’m not gonna pay to help you fix your app.

  • danieltien danieltien (@danieltien) reported

    @TerryMatalas Picking a server is like picking an email provider back in the late 90's/early 2000's. (e.g., AOL, Compuserve, Hotmail, and Yahoo mail)

  • TheTradeBlazer Trade Blazer (@TheTradeBlazer) reported

    @firefox I submitted a bug report already but want to state how the buttons inside Yahoo Mail are not working. I am not able to Delete, Move, or perform any commands in the desktop Firefox.

  • sideshow123 sideshow (@sideshow123) reported

    @yahoomail help! I’m trying to update my bank card for my yahoo mail plus account and cannot due to errors entering my address, please help!

  • kookmain alya⁷ kootar + indigo (@kookmain) reported

  • okicarus Accidental Warist (@okicarus) reported

    @elonmusk Old school media? Yeah Yahoo mail was pretty slow.

  • Weeble02043868 Weeble (@Weeble02043868) reported

    @elonmusk Elon. Do you have the ability to stop all the spam/junk mail I get in my yahoo email? Please fix yahoo mail

  • AquariusGirlFeb Bella Jasani (@AquariusGirlFeb) reported

    @YahooCare - yahoo mail not working for past hour. Is there an issue? Thanks!

  • VJ Vijay Chopra - /ʋɪd͡ʒjeɪ t͡ʃʰɔːpɽaː/ (@VJ) reported

    @PoMo_Cowboy @lituainianach Execpt you can talk outside your silos - saying it's siloed is like saying email is siloed because not everyone uses Gmail. I can still use my Gmail account to talk to Yahoo mail users, I can even set up my own email server; the idea is the protocol, not the server.

  • accidentalflyer Broken Hero on Last Chance Drive🐀🇺🇦🌁🇨🇦🇹🇼🚀 (@accidentalflyer) reported

    @yahoomail went down before Twitter!? WTF??

  • pwnallthethings @Pwnallthethings@mastodon.social (@pwnallthethings) reported

    But don't worry -- in the same way that you can join Gmail and still send email to Yahoomail, you can join just about any server and see posts by people on other servers too.
