14 DAY TRIAL // It’s Friday and Yahoo Mail is still down for a lot of people. Despite the company’s statements about having fixed the issues, the service continues to be inaccessible to countless users.
Most of them are reporting that they’ve been having issues since Monday, when the initial disruption was also mentioned by Yahoo.
The situation is bordering on the ridiculous considering that so many days have passed and many individuals are still affected. One message posted on Twitter by an irate user mentions that perhaps Yahoo shouldn’t have wasted money on Tumblr when there were basic IT issues to fix.
The worst part is that many of those affected are businesses that depend on their emails for their daily activities and they’re already complaining about losing customers.
Not even the users who can now access their emails following Wednesday’s fix have things going properly. Many emails have vanished from their inboxes and people say that not everything has been returned yet.
A mass exodus has already begun, with many individuals announcing that they were quitting Yahoo Mail in favor of other services, such as Gmail.
The interesting part is how Yahoo hasn’t been able to fix the issue after so many days. Considering the reach and status of the company, you’d think that it would take better care of the services it offers.
As mentioned, issues started on Monday and have lasted through the week. One message from Yahoo indicates that the problem is a hardware one in a data center belonging to the company. The exact nature of the incident hasn’t been described and it’s unclear how a hardware problem couldn’t have been fixed after so many days.
Yahoo Mail has been having a lot more problems in the past few months, especially after the rollout of the new mail version that so many people hate.
