Title: Trouble getting a sponsor on Yahoo email, read this.
Post by: 7 Lakes on December 11, 2013, 11:17:00 AM
Yahoo is working to upgrade most of the business email accounts. At least that's the story.  Most of the business accounts have been closed for days now. If you have emailed a sponser @ yahoo and have not received a response please be patient or better still lets make some phone calls.

Edit 6:58 am
7 Lakes email is back up and running, hopefully.  If I don't return your email same day then please give me a call.  It may still be broke.

Sounds a little odd, are you sure you haven't been hacked?

That's what I thought at first so I checked.  Yahoo says the accounts are down for an upgrade.  There are hundreds of thousands of complaints at this point.  Funny but my wife's personal yahoo email works just fine. Its' just the business accounts being upgraded.

I don't think it's an "upgrade" but a cover story for a server crash they'd rather not talk about. It's affecting accounts worldwide.

Yahoo's outage is "due to a hardware problem in one of our mail data centers. The issue has been harder to fix than we originally expected," says Jeffrey Bonforte, Yahoo's senior vice president of communication products.

I use yahoo for personal email and they have really fouled it up.I get an email from my brother and it shows it comes from one of my other friends! It has also been really slow.They have added a sponsored spam in your inbox and are wanting you to pay them to have it removed.Man thats not right!!!

I'm back up and running as of 6:00 am this morning EST.  Hope it stays up until I can get a few things changed.

I think Yahoo and healthcare.gov should have contracted to google ... I remember once google went down for like an hour ... it was terrible
