Been using Yahoo mail for years - accessing it with MS Outlook. A few weeks ago for no reason that I could fathom, I stopped being able to send messages with the account using Outlook. No real problem, I've got other accounts that send OK and if I really wanted to use the Yahoo account I could send through the web interface.
A week or so ago I stopped receiving mails from the account with Outlook. I haven't changed anything. I check the server settings etc. - all seems in accord with the Yahoo help pages but it still doesn't work.
I'm just trying to work out whether I use the account for anything important - but it's hard to remember whether I gave the account details to an important company or something similar ten years ago - and will dump the account.
Can't imagine that it will bother the powers that be at Yahoo but it will stop me wasting my time trying to fix something that I didn't break. On the other hand, if lots of people do the same maybe it will speed up the demise of the company that seems destined (and determined) to become one of the pioneers of the internet age that exist only in memories. I had a Compuserve account once.....
