Yahoo Mail down or problems

Yahoo Mail operates as a free online webmail service that’s been online for over 15 years, so in this time users would have seen many problems. Yahoo Mail servers go down either in select regions, or on occasion it’s a global outage that also receives an official statement from the company.

Common problems with Yahoo Mail include being able to read emails and sending via the online portal, iPad, iPhone, or Android apps. Top complaints usually involve the sign in page and this isn’t always due to forgot passwords, although lately users complain most about emails not downloading the content, attachments, and being very slow. This could certainly be due to server issues in different regions.

    It seems every time I want to see my emails I have to go through the damn verification BS. I’ve had to do it a least 4 times today. Every time I exit Yahoo mail and want to get back in I have to go through the damn BS all the time… What the H3LL Yahoo?

    Could not access Yahoo Mail from Australia. Everything was correct (ID and PW) and everything had been done under the HELP info that could be done. E.g. Cache clean up.

    Was signed into YAHOO – it was just the email account I could not access.

    Lasted maybe an hour or two. Not the first time.

    When I tried to open Yahoo Mail on 8/21, it was condensed to the middle third of my screen, scrunched together and completely unreadable. I could click and open in a new tab and read, but then couldn’t do anything else. Not sure what to do at this point. Is Yahoo doing anything? Do they monitor this to see what kind of issues people are having? I am in Dallas, TX. Everything else seems to be working as expected.

  • Kay Bell

    I am able to long in/out, but unable to compose, send, delete or move my emails. It’s as if the functions are all frozen. Sure hope it soon gets fixed! This has been going on since last Friday or Saturday (8/16 or 8/17).

  • Sarah

    Has anyone found out what has happened to YAHOO MAIL. I am able to log in/out. But unable to COMPOSE/SEND/DELETE/MOVE etc. Just sign in and sign out. That is all. It is as though all other functions have “frozen”. How long will this continue. I am receiving emails into my INBOX and can open these but not reply to any INBOX emails. This has been happening since last night Monday 20 August 2018. What time this took place I am not sure, but YAHOO MAIL was not working this morning when I posted to Rosie William.

    • Sarah

      Hi Rosie, I am from Sydney Australia. The time here is 0330 hours Tuesday 21 August 2018. I opened my YAHOO MAIL this morning, about one half hour ago.

      I could not activate REPLY tab, nor when I composed a new email would the SEND tab activate to send my email. Also I could not activate the FORWARD tab.

      All that worked was that I could log on/out. The email account was working yesterday evening. Not this morning though. Has anyone else experienced these same faults.

    Yahoo Classic Email looks to be History today, 7/13/18. This is the first day that switching back to supposedly Classic, Original, takes me to a NEW Original. All the features I love are gone. I’ve been on Yahoo for probably longer than 95% of you all, simply based on my age. I can tell you that every change Yahoo has made in email and what was originally Yahoo Clubs, which became Yahoo Groups resulted in less use of Yahoo and a unanimous opinion that it should have been left alone

  • The inbox doesn’t fill in completely. When I go to “check” something in the inbox to move to a folder the email opens up fully. When I check the “X” to close the full view it does not close. When I click the “check all” box to choose all email in the inbox it does nothing. I saw problems like this last night when composing an email I could not attach files. I closed down my browser, opened Yahoo mail again, and was then able to attach files, but the next email I composed had problems when I pasted a URL of a website in the body of the email.

    Verizon acquired Yahoo last June (both entities are now “Oath”). Verizon has been hesitant to spend monies needed to keep the Yahoo servers in their top operating condition. This has resulted in the dramatic increase in problems with the Yahoo mail service, increase latency, etc. If Verizon continues this course, the Yahoo service will lose millions of loyal subscribers. Verizon seems to be intent on destroying the massive global Yahoo email user base that it paid $5B to acquire. Meanwhile, Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam will continue to extract value from Verizon shareholders with his $18M annual compensation (2017) while he drives the company into the ground. Shareholders take note!

    • Carol Ann

      Verizon, of course .. that is where the problem lies šŸ™ they cannot even keep their computer business up to par ā€¦ Verizon has there mighty green poles in our entire over 40 community .. and do not want to repair the holes caused by the inferior way in which the poles were installed in our front yards… the more tech we gain, the more we lose in some areas (especially if the owner has to expend their money) .. BTW I am fighting with Verizon at the moment to repair the 4′ wide/deep hole caused by their pretty little green pole in my yard ..

    I have been a paid customer for 14 years.
    Lately there are so many fatal errors:
    1) Email not received – this is FATAL. I lost business if I don’t receive their emails.
    2) Can’t download attachments (don’t say it’s the server – I forward the email to Gmail and can download it perfectly).
    Now sadly I am forced to move all my business to Gmail.

    Worst service ever. Can’t download attachments at all. I can see some of them as a preview, and download the preview (occasionally), but if the file can’t be previewed, (like zip) I’m out of luck. It’s been a while since I’ve been blocked completely (not recognizing passwords, etc.) so that’s a good sign, but it used to happen once a year or so like clockwork. Yazoo is too busy ramming through their leftist agenda to actually provide a service.

  • Sherry Mcguire

    @@disqus_QRebYO4O4I:disqus I live in Ohio in the USA. Ever since Thursday my Yahoo mail email has had a message in Black at the bottom saying that, “Your Yahoo mail. com (Yahoo mail) account is disconnected.” this is on my Samsung Galaxy Note 5. My computer is down so I can only access anything on my phone and on my tablet. It has an option next to the message saying it’s disconnected saying the word “fix.” I’ve gone through every freaking step multiple times trying to verify my own identity and it will not let me at all. I get to the part where you have to have a code sent to an alternate email or through text or phone call. It has my number ending in 43 when it ends in 09. I don’t understand that at all. I have not changed my phone number. I need to be able to use my Yahoo mail and Microsoft account because I use it for my DirecTV now streaming service and need it to be able to log in if it’s ever accidentally logs out. I’m not paying $35 a month for something I can’t access, the directvnow. And I can’t just create a new email address because I have my more important emails sent to my Yahoo mail email instead of my Gmail email. What is going on? It was already giving me trouble on Wednesday and forced me to have to reset my password which has always been the same for my computer and email for years and I know it is the right one. I made it so I can’t forget it. So I had to go to the irritating process of resetting my password and I reset it to the one that it already was. I had to try it over and over and over again just to get the new password to work and let me in. And then I find out on Friday when I try to look at my emails that my last email was Wednesday when I changed my password and I got that black message at the bottom of the screen saying it’s disconnected. I really rather talk to a person if possible. I’m starting to get angry because all the troubleshooting I’ve tried needs me to log into Microsoft Yahoo mail to be able to troubleshoot which I can’t do. I can’t log into it at all in the first place which is the problem. Getting very angry.

      this fixed it for me… Fo to yahoo in your browser, click mobile link if on desktop..Sign in to Yahoo Mail.
      Go to your “Account security” settings.
      Turn on Allow apps that use less secure sign in.

      turn off that setting and than turn it back on..

    Cannot get yahoo mail on IPad or Android phone. It was fine yesterday, not today.

  • Michael Mccollough

    yahoo worked on iphone this am an and now it says Updated yesterday, account error and when I click on details I get “Cannot get mail, The connection to the server failed”. I can get to other apps with no problem. This has to do with Verizon. I can get to my yahoo from my desktop with no issues

    Yahoo mail/ios/macbook all worked normally until early am 2/17/18. Now log in fails on mac–shows account error. Deleted account on iOS 11.2.5 and now won’t let me add account back on iPhone. Changed password, etc., nothing works. Yahoo mail web page works but nothing else. What a waste of time trying to fix this.

  • M Rogers

    No Yahoo Email updates on IPhone6 since yesterday.

    Still Waiting for access to Yahoo Mail / It Has Been since Last Thurs !! Fix it !

  • Carlos Furante

    Wow, what a difference since Yahoo! was acquired by Verizon – they used to be annoying, but worked, now they are annoying and don’t work – I cannot recall this absurdly high level of problems/outages occurring under the old regime. Like other posters here I too can access with no problems via smartphone by cannot get messages to post or display using laptop on a fixed network.

  • DLionheart

    Okay, sick of seeing this now: “We couldn’t load this message. Retry!”

    • Mama B

      Getting a similar situation. Go to open an email and get the message “Aw snap” and have to click reload. Its been bad for a few days but today it is EVERY time I do anything in email!

    I’ve been having major problems since last week. First, I was unable to open file folders in 2 of my 5 groups. Then, the ability to send evites went all wonky on me. And now I can get into my account, but emails won’t go out, and I can’t add any new contacts. Plus, I’ve been seeing all those “Yahoo engineers working on the problem” notifications just about every time I hit a key. Anyone know what the story is? Someone on one of the UK boards said that there might be problems with synching the new iOS for Apple phones, but I don’t use my cell for Yahoo mail. Argh!! If anyone hears an update, let us know; and thank you.

  • Rick Martin

    yesterday and today right now 10:21 pst henderson, nv

    • Di Ford

      Yep. Several evenings in a row (but more further back in time!!!) the whole system just slowly comes to a grinding halt. Can’t check boxes to delete or move, can’t type an e-mail response (and I can type 80 wpm with no errors, so it’s extremely frustrating to see that what I’ve typed is stuck in the first two words!!!). I NEED to be able to use my yahoo mail…as it’s my MAIN e-mail. What the hell is going on!?!

  • Resul Danis

    it is down today. it was frustrating yesterday, but there is nothing happening today when trying to get into yahoo mail. Time to switch to gmail

    • Di Ford

      I’ve thought the same thing….even though I’m wary of omni-present Google systems taking over everything…and “not playing well with others”!! The thing is….I HAVE another acoount that IS gmail…..but I don’t like their format or the way their e-mails open, carry on, etc. I loved the Yahoo system so much better, but YIKES! what’s going on! This is not the first day/time Yahoo Mail has gone weird / slow, etc.

  • Donna Lyn

    Yahoo is my ONLY email server and I’m not able to get on it here in Eastern PA!
    This has been going on for 3 days now. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER! Never had a problem with yahoo before. If this continues I’m going to switch to gmail.

    • Di Ford

      I agree 100%! I have limited time to clear / view / respond to my emails. For me not to be able to even get ON!! is a pain. Then, once things seem to be working OK….I can’t text and e-mail response on my computer!!! Letters are missing….words are jammed together…impossible to be read. I hope YAHOO techs figure this sh*t out soon!! It’s incredibly frustrating! And business-wise, if someone’s waiting for your response to some pending situation and you can’t even GET your response out……Jeeeeeez!!!

  • Eltipoborracho

    Can access my mail but doesn’t show the message when i click on it šŸ™

  • K.M. Kowalski

    Yahoo problems were here and there yesterday but are predominant today, even on the mobile phone. And yes, it keeps claiming there’s no internet connection when there is.

    • Di Ford

      I agree!

  • Mary P.

    Same here – big problems using mail for a couple of weeks now. Various error messages, but the most infuriating are the “no internet connection” messages when there IS internet. I am hating yahoo mail so much right now.
