How long was yahoo mail not working
A blast from the past!
Yahoo Mail has had its fair share of outages and issues over the years. Here are a few notable instances:
- March 2018: Yahoo Mail was down for several hours, affecting millions of users worldwide. The outage was caused by a "network issue" and was resolved after several hours.
- June 2018: Yahoo Mail experienced a 12-hour outage, with users unable to access their accounts or send/receive emails. The cause was attributed to a "database issue."
- October 2018: Yahoo Mail was down for around 4 hours, with users reporting issues with login and email access. The outage was caused by a "technical issue."
- January 2019: Yahoo Mail experienced a 2-hour outage, affecting users in the United States and Europe. The cause was attributed to a "network issue."
- March 2020: Yahoo Mail was down for around 6 hours, with users reporting issues with login and email access. The outage was caused by a "technical issue" related to a "database migration."
It's worth noting that these outages were not necessarily continuous, and Yahoo Mail was likely available for most users during these periods. However, these instances do illustrate the frequency and duration of the outages.
In recent years, Yahoo has made significant improvements to its infrastructure and services, including the migration to a new email platform. While outages are still possible, they are less frequent and shorter in duration than in the past.
