Yea recently yahoo have been resetting a lot of their servers. It's either due to the server being down at the time you are attempting to access your email. Or your IP has been banned on that server (which only lasts 24 if on cable or Dsl, or if you're on dial-up just disconnect from the net and reconnect). So best bet is to just try again later because unless you are attempting to crack yahoo accounts then it's the server that's down.

Actually this error occures if you are accessing yahoo mail through proxy (MS Proxy, ISA etc). But works fine with Direct address.

Not sure whether Proxy requests are not allowed by yahoo!!

I too have been getting frequent Error *** when trying to log on to Yahoo mail.

There is a workaround: Start from [url]http://btyahoo.com[/url] . When you get to the login prompt, enter your complete email address, e.g. "user****x@**********" sted just "user****x".

Hi, Fellow frustrated Yahooers.

I have the Error *** when trying to get into Yahoo games - cards. Everything works fine during non-busy times, but in high use, evening hours, it gets down to actually being frozen out. If I'm persistant, I can get in after *5 minutes of trying. I have tried every fix, new browser, cookies thing, back doors......etc. nothing works until Yahoo lets it work, when traffic slows down.
You might want to try it with you *** mail errors...try to go in during low traffic hours.
Good luck to us all..........we need it!

guys.... all my problems were solved when i logged in another PC....
ITS AN ip problem........................................................
thats everything u need to know.
they HAVE unlimited bandwidch for account
what they do to control the (abuse??) is limiting the bandwitch per IP...
little fix for it(hope u have another IP or PC handy)XD

I got the same problem 2, i`ve changed my ip and that works

I would have to say that either changing the IP Address or attempting to wait untill the server accepts your request. One way to tell if the servers will accept your request from the current IP Address is to go in to the command prompt and ping mail.********** and see if the packets returned matches the packets sent and what % of a loss you have to that server.
The Yahoo mail servers usually ban the IP Address for *6 hours tops. When you get to the point that that yahoo servers themselves won't accept your request then you have a problem.

I Know this because i work for the company that runs the servers.

I doubt it has to do with IP address because if I clean all my IE cache, history, etc. and then restart IE I can then login to one of my other Yahoo accounts, just not the one where I received the *** error and I am still at the same IP address. My opinion is it has to do with bandwidth being used by your account. This didn't used to be an issue (as far as I know) back when free accounts were limited to 2MB of storage space and the email attachment size was also restricted. I have seen this when I haven't logged into an account for a while and I have lots of messages waiting with attachments that I then download. It also seems to be possibly based on the load Yahoo sees on their end (more users accessing site, less bandwidth they will allow during that time?).
