Cannot access Yahoo mail

I am not able to access yahoo mail from my machine since this morning ...
The page cannot be displayed error is shown by IE (win 2000 Pro)
Mozilla on RH 9 says connection refused ....

I have tried accessing the account from a colleagues machine (which is on the same network as mine ) and I was able to access it without any problems ...

Any ideas what I should be doing ?

Thanks

Hi:

I suggest you to use yahoo online support:

http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/mail-03.html

rsdn

OR

Try to open your yahoo account at http://www.thatweb.com

Another way is you try to use forget password option. Then it will send you a new password or reset password to you another email account which you provided when you sign up yahoo account.

Clearing cookies and temp files did not work
I cannot even open mail.yahoo.com

Is thatweb secure ? The account has a precious password ... Is it safe to give it on that site ?

problem resolved on its own ... why or how, I have no idea
I did not even try anything new !!!

Can someone throw some light on possible causes

Sohel Rana

I don't know about thatweb, whether it is secure or not, but just an alternation to check email. Like bad time friend :)

Now your yahoo account is working, may two possible reason :

1. sometime happen with yahoo server or service
2. you put the wrong password ( when we baffle we put the same wrong password again and again :) )

It cannot be wrong password ... Page never opened !!!

It was giving "Cannot display page" error ... same page was accessible through a colleagues system and I could access all other sites fine so it was not a network settings issue either

I meant if you can not access Yahoo Mail at server mail.yahoo.com at certain time, you can temporarily access through other server I mentioned above, then you can try the previous serve later on.

Good luck

If you have an Internet proxy, then your IP address was temporarily blocked.

Thanks for the interest but since I have not had that problem for quite sometime, I think I would let it drop

RDAdams

Ok, sounds great. Glad we could be of some help.

I have same problem since today morning,
can access address book, notepad, anything, but the mail.
I was thinking it is DNS problem and tried to use IP instead of mail.yahoo.com, that took me to login page, but doesn't let login.
I really need to access it, because I have to finish my work today and the files are in my account.
