Finally found a Yahoo newsgroup and this is what I found:
"Yahoo has been having major server issues since at LEAST Jan. 10, seemingly
just with particular servers. And what's happening to you is unfortunately
one of the many problems that people are having because of them, and Yahoo
doesn't seem to be in any particular hurry to solve them. I've had to use
another acct.provided free by my ISP to send/rcv important e-mails since Jan.
10, and it's been working just fine the whole time. If you don't have another
acct.w/another provider besides Yahoo, I'd strongly advise to get one; it
makes a good backup in case of problems like this. Since that original
posting, they've also sent another e-mail that they've escalated the problem
(or should I say problems!) to their engineering department, which is an
indication of major problems, and not just a minor S/W "glitch." This would
indicate to me that there are also compatibility issues btwn. the H/W and
S/W, besides the server problems. So it's not anything you're doing, your
computer, or your internet connection, and don't let anyone tell you
otherwise."
So thank you so much for your time and responses. Guess it is strictly up
to AT&T Yahoo to resolve this issue I am experiencing. You were correct when
you mentioned the server problems.
