    I've heard they do this too, you better email them try and get this sorted or open a gmail account.

    Good luck

    Better contact yahoo about this. I dont think they can just deactivate your account like that. Better find out whats going on and switch to gmail!

    I would write them because maybe it was just a maintance problem, I have had Yahoo mail for 9 years and I have never had a major problem. Once in a while there is a time they are down for maintance but that is the same even at Gmail. Don't panic if you did nothing wrong. Just check later and if you still have the problem, contact them.

    Just make sure you have not used it to spam because Yahoo has cracked down on that hard lately.

    Did you not login to your email account from many months? I hear that they de-activate accounts if you don't use it for many months.

    Oh . . . my gosh

    I've never heard about this kind of thing on Yahooo before.

    If you don't use your Yahoo account for some time . . . maybe several months . . . then that's when you can expect your emails to have beed deleted. You can reinstate your account . . . but all the old emails will have gone.


    Be seeing you

    Try emailing to the support team so explaining them that the mail was deactivated incorrectly.

    I had same problem 1 year ago..
    With a day before i used the email and messenger without any problems, next day in the morning when i tried to login i got a message saying that the account was deactivated..
    no explanations, nothing..
    I emailed them but i haven't any response.. i tried to register but it told me that the user is already registered..

    now i see that somebody else picked-up my yahoo user.. probably the account have been suspended for 6 months and after that was deleted and somebody else registered.. :(

    this is fucking shit..

    This is why it is always adviced to use email account with your own domain name for business purpose. You will be having complete control over it.

    Don't panic. A system error or whatever it is can be discussed and solved with Yahoo staff. I had my account locked once and they helped me unlock it after I contacted them to explain the matter.

    I think Yahoo will take days to answer, if they answer at all....It is a potential disaster.

    If you can't do anything about it, then i would suggest that you register for another one for your temporary or permanent use.

    If you can't do anything about your needed data, then why spend your time worrying about it. Things yo have no control over should be left out otherwise, you'll be the one left behind.

    I hope this helps you clear your mind. ;)

    Like I said, I was lucky enough to get the right support level from them. And got my account unlocked and password reset within 48 hours. They needed to verify me before issuing a temporary password, and I was surprised that they were helpful after all.
