Email outage for Yahoo
2011-04-30
Yahoo's e-mail service has suffered an outage that might be preventing a substantial number of users from getting into their inboxes. The company says sorry for Thursday's breakdown without specifying what quantity of people were affected. Twitter's online messaging service was stuffed with beefs about the nuisance. Most users had no problem logging into their Yahoo e-mail accounts. ComScore Incorporated . Claims Yahoo Incorporated . Had 284 million e-mail users worldwide in March. That suggests many thousands might have been locked out of their inboxes, whether or not the trouble only affected a miniscule fragment of Yahoo's users. Like most Internet-based e-mail providers, Yahoo offers its service for free as a method to give folk returning to its internet site so that the company can earn more cash selling adverts.
