Yahoo Mail, which boasts more than 250 million users worldwide, hasn't been working for many of them today.
The company was vague about how many customers were hit by the outage, what the cause is, and how long the problem will last.
"Yahoo mail is currently inaccessible to some users," the company said in a statement. "We are working to correct the issue and restore all functionality immediately. We know that this may have caused some inconvenience and we apologize to our users who might be affected."
You've stumbled upon an unexpected, temporary problem. Performing your action again in a few moments will likely resolve the problem completely. If not, we suggest you try re-launching Yahoo! Mail.
If the problem persists, feel free to contact Customer Care about Error Code 17.

Everyone I know who uses yahoo is having problems accessing the mail server, myself included.
lmao @ the idea that yahoo froze your account for "calling out" a "supposed fake" birth certificate.

Tried again after reading this, heres the message I recieved...

I check my yahoo email all day long....i have a blackberry that is linked to it and when im on the computer (which is usually a few hours a day between work and home) i check it often. Well earlier today there was a thread on here regarding Obamas recently released birth certificates and one of the points made was that the hospital name on it didnt match the name of it on his date of birth. Supposedly one hospital was bought out by another down the road but his certificate was showing the wrong name for the hospital. I tried finding the thread on here but had no luck.
Well i was on yahoo news earlier as i usually am daily because they happen to bring up the odd, supernatural, and unexplained every now and then. As im flipping through there is a piece on Obamas birth certificate and something to do with a code name. Reading through the blog it was filled with people who were telling all the conspiracy theorists to shove it. So being a conspiracy theorist i figured i would share the information i learned off of this thread that was here on ATS with that blog......
Since i posted my thoughts on that blog i have not been able to access my yahoo email, yahoo profile, or anything related with yahoo when i use that user name and password. It lets me in but i have no access to anything....all that comes up is this.....
"Ouch!
The error, LaunchFFC-1, occurred when trying to connect to Yahoo! Mail.
To retry Yahoo! Mail... To proceed to Yahoo! Mail Classic...
This error might be temporary. Go to Yahoo! Mail
Click here to check your mail using Yahoo! Mail Classic."
I copied and pasted the text to it because when i copied the link it would log me out upon trying to access it through a new window. I tried using yahoo mail classic and had the same issue..... Anyhow, I have another yahoo account and signed in and was perfectly fine accessing my email, profile there, and everything else. The key is that account doesnt have my name on it or any info in the profile. So am i just going crazy here or am i now being watched for calling out someones obvious mistake on a birth certificate?!?!?!
Some thoughts, advice, and feedback would be nice!!!! Thank you.
