Ironically enough they picked the day when Yahoo mail was to show off their new streamlined look and 100 MB of storage for free...I'm still having some trouble myself but at least I can see it was due to the attack.
I have a few different addresses (a couple on yahoo
and a couple on myway.com); the yahoo one I _used_ to have for FR got taken away for no reason: even though I hadn't
violated the terms of service, they said I did. I suspect someone was using my address to spam people (they can
"spoof" it, so even if you aren't breaking their rules
you can still find your email address taken away...
What irritates me about Yahoo is that they deleted all of the mail that was in my account under the old system-- I had about 6 items that I was saving. I must have missed the email that warned me that they were going to do that. They deleted my address book too. It's a good thing that I ony use it for a trash address.
