582270 2007-08-18 22:35:00 I got one as well. What I find weird is it came into my email box dated 16/07/2007 but it was the 18/08/2007(Yesterday).

582271 2007-08-18 22:53:00 Go to http://xtra.my.yahoo.com/ to sort it out I think Agent_24 (57)
582272 2007-08-19 00:50:00 Hmmmm......so if I want to check my e-mails through xtra's Webmail, I have no choice but to sign up for this thing?

Or is lack of sleep taking it's toll and I'm missing something??


Well, I'm missing the same thing, allblack.

I ignored the "ra-ra" re Yahoo/Bubble email Xtra sent to my Outlook Express box a few days ago (never used Yahoo & don't want to) but noted the follow-up which said Xtra Webmail would be down over the weekend.

So I wasn't surprised when a spam flood started - just assumed it's the stuff that'd normally go unseen into my Webmail spam folder.
Out of curiosity, I've just tried to check that.
But to do so, it seems I first have to register with Yahoo!

No way...
Definitely more info needed.

(Luckily, my ordinary email is working & I only use Webmail when not at my own machine.
If OE stops working, though, there'll be murderous thoughts - or a change of ISP).

Agreed, I am definitely thinking the same thing.

Xtramail was down yesterday, and when I tried to log into today, it asked me to reregister. I have tried to do this, but get the following error, which shows that they have got major problems

SOAP call did not return SOAP_OK

So I nor my girlfriend who is overseas are able to check our emails. I am sure the s*** will hit the fan tommorrow when businesses can't check their webmail.

582275 2007-08-19 02:01:00 Well you're not missing out on anything by not using Yahoo Messenger .

Yahoo should stick to their search engine .

Whoever makes their programs (esp Yahoo), are crap programmers .

Sounds similar to quite a few programs I've seen . Every version, seems to be worse than the previous version .

There's nothing in Yahoo besides BOTS, and from what I've heard they kick you out after an hour (In YM, whether you like it or not lol) .

You can log back in, if you can . And the latest version of Yahoo Messenger, I tried this morning, is like going on a merry go round .

You could click on 3-4 different channels/rooms, you end up in the same channel you started in lol .

You never actually go anywhere else . And most of the channels I tried, you ended up with Yahoo Messenger saying theres a communication problem .

That was the end of that 1 day - in the bin .

Microsoft was looking at buying Yahoo just recently in an effort to bolster their efforts against Google . . . :lol: Probably lucky for them that they didn't .

lol, well I was going to say that. Hopefully Yahoo didnt employ ex-Symantec programmers.

Since both seem to have 1 thing in common. Crap programs.

582278 2007-08-19 02:12:00 They were looking at paying a fairly hefty price too.
As it is, Google is currently in a fairly tight partnership with Apple.:)
