It’s frustrating when Yahoo!
Mail isn’t working.
Ideally, there would be a simple way to tell when Yahoo Mail services are down or struggling.
But unfortunately, as of early 2019, Yahoo!
Mail does not provide system status information for their free mail services.
The following sequence of steps may help you identify and/or resolve problems when Yahoo!
Mail isn’t working.
Basic Yahoo Mail
If you’re able to connect to Yahoo!
Mail, but it doesnt look like what you expect, you may be seeing Basic Yahoo Mail.
While rare, a Tweet from any of these accounts would serve as official confirmation that the Yahoo!
Mail service is experiencing problems.
You need an X account to view Tweets.
Check third-party status services to see if other sites can’t access Yahoo Mail.
At any given time, you should expect to see at least a few problems reported.
If either of these status services indicates an issue, you’re free to stop troubleshooting.
The problem is one that the team at Yahoo Mail will need to work to resolve.
If no problems are reported with these tools, its time to troubleshoot your setup.
Turn your gadget off, wait a minute, then turn it back on.
