Yes, Yahoo Mail has experienced several outages and issues over the years. Here are a few notable ones:
- 2013: Yahoo Mail suffered a major outage that lasted for several hours, affecting millions of users worldwide. The cause was attributed to a software update gone wrong.
- 2014: Yahoo Mail experienced a series of outages, with users reporting issues with login, email delivery, and account access. The company blamed a "technical issue" for the problems.
- 2016: Yahoo Mail suffered a brief outage that lasted around an hour, affecting users in the United States and Europe. The cause was attributed to a "network issue."
- 2017: Yahoo Mail experienced a prolonged outage that lasted for several days, affecting users worldwide. The company blamed a "database issue" for the problems.
- 2020: Yahoo Mail suffered a brief outage that lasted around an hour, affecting users in the United States and Europe. The cause was attributed to a "technical issue."
It's worth noting that these outages were not limited to Yahoo Mail, as the company has faced numerous security breaches and data breaches over the years, including a massive data breach in 2013 that affected over 3 billion user accounts.
In 2020, Verizon Media (the parent company of Yahoo) announced that it would be shutting down Yahoo Mail Classic and transitioning users to a new, more modern email service. The new service, called Yahoo Mail Pro, offers more features and security enhancements.
