Glad to say all back to normal this morning :-D

Obviously there was some sort of glitch on Yahoo for us to get the same disruption.

I too will have to change my password, I have had the same one for 4 years now!

Mine was like that for a couple of days last week. In the end I signed out of Yahoo and then signed back in. It has been fine ever since ....., fingers crossed.

Joeva, mine was exactly the same.

However this morning it all seems back to normal and got in no problem.

What worried me is if yahoo had been hacked and i had lost all my emails as i have so many for different commitees etc i belong to.

However it was a good opportunity to remind me to change my password which i did. I try to do this about once a month as i think we all should.

Thanks for your comments. Glad you are ok Ann.

I have just tried to look at my Emails on Yahoo and all there is a jumble of words on the left-hand side of the screen, I can read 'Ireland Mail' which is in bright blue letters and the rest is completely illegible. :-|

Has anyone else a problem accessing their yahoo mail?
I read today that some email accounts have been hacked. I managed to get in the back door and have changed my password but still cant access yahoo mail.
