Yahoo confirms Mail / Messenger outage, working on a fix

Stefan Mileschin · 1st August 2012, 09:40

Google Talk and Twitter had their moments last week, and now it's Yahoo's turn. As noted by a flood of readers -- and confirmed by the company itself -- the exclamation marked mail service is currently experiencing some issues. Yahoo Mail is prompting users to accept its terms and then just sort of conking out. We reached out to Yahoo for comment and received the following response:

Yahoo! Mail, Messenger and other areas of Yahoo! may currently be inaccessible or slow to respond to some users in certain locations. We are working to correct the issue and restore all functionality immediately. We know that this may have caused some inconvenience and we apologize to our users who might be affected.

We'll update you when things are back to normal.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Update: Phew, everything seems to be back in working order.
