It seems that all day today i have been receiving an error message 999 " unable to process your request please try later"

I find this highkly unusual.

Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?

Or is it just me?

No problem here.

using yahoo mail as this is being written. everything fine

Try to delete your Yahoo email cookie. Might help. Just my 2 baht.

Thanks guys i will retry

Of course now I try and experience no problem but i did try a good 20 or so times on 2 accounts - morning afternoon and this evening before posting and eaach time with eror message 999.

I did not reset the cookie.

thanks for the quick responses- most appreciated

I have experienced this from time to time.

Enter Yahoo password and it rejects me.

Almost always for me, a reboot solves the problem.

I have been having the same problem (999) all day long with Yahoo. Never had this problem before.

I have had to restore system settings on occaision to get Yahoo to work. I also have a problem running Yahoo Messenger from time to time - and I can't get it to work at all with Trillian, a multi-IM platform.

I've had problems reaching yahoo mail in Net shops but www.yahoo.co.uk has always worked when the US site doesn't.
