New problems for the giant portal

Yahoo Mail represents the mail solution provided by the giant portal that is continuously affected by numerous problems caused by the service or even by the company's employees. It seems like the giant portal tried to improve the solution on Thursday but all the attempts caused a serious problem with the delivery system of the messages.

"While we were working on an improvement to our email delivery systems, email delivery was inadvertently suspended for some members of some groups. Unfortunately, while messages posted to affected groups during this time were saved to group archives, the messages cannot now be delivered via email, admits the company.", The Inquirer reported.

It seems like the mail service was unavailable for numerous users that were trying to send e-mail messages, the company trying to fix the problem by resending every mail composed in the maintenance period.

"But the answer is simple," say Yahoo! Boffins. "You may want to suggest that your members resend any messages they had sent between yesterday afternoon and this morning, if they want to ensure they are read by other members," the publication added.

Let's make a quick analysis of the problem. Yahoo was and continues to be the leader of the web-based e-mail providers but it is now fighting with Gmail, the mail service provided by the well known Internet giant Google. As you surely know, Google's product is regarded as the most efficient service against spam messages, one of the most criticized aspects of the Yahoo Mail. So, the giant portal decides to update the delivery system of the product while all the users are requiring better spam filters. And not only does the company update a well-developed function but it also causes more problems for numerous users... Nice job!
