Yahoo Mail

Lost World · Sep 17, 2009

Has anyone else been having problems with Yahoo email lately? I keep getting error codes, numbered 5, 16 & 17. My emails still seem to be going out, thankfully, but often I have to send them several times. As for the number codes, Yahoo's idea of problem solving is to have you go to Yahoo Answers, type your question there, and have some member of the general public give you an answer (seriously). I think it's time for a new mail server.

OMG its driving me insane! Yes. I am starting to really hate Yahoo mail.

I ended up switching to GMail to send queries because I was having so many problems with Yahoo (constant crashing, repeatedly asking me to prove I wasn't a bot sending spam).

My issue isn't so weird, I guess, but it steadfastly refuses to cut/paste from MSWord without %$@#$% the formatting up. I'd switch servers, but my website's on Yahoo, and I can only juggle so many balls.

Also, does anyone know any trick for getting a photo into a Yahoo email? I just have one little one that I think would well accompany my heretofore unsuccessful (30x in past two weeks) query, a newspaper headline. Not trying to use my good looks to get picked up or anything (as Martha Stewart would say, "It's a good thing!")...

If I was using the headline, I'd type it out and cite it:

"This guy ROCKS!!" -- Atlanta Journal Constitution, Sept. 19, 2009

(Some agent's mail servers may quarantine or block a message with an image in it.)

I see I'm not the only one. I wonder if it has anything to do with them changing the formats of the page? Seems like they change the home page layout every other day.
