Yahoo Mail has suffered an outage last night – that is the day for U.S. users, who are presumably the bulk of the 250 million Yahoo Mail users. The vendor has confirmed the problem, but made about the duration and number of people affected not specified. At the moment the service works reibunglos at least in Germany.

“Yahoo Mail is currently unavailable for some users,” it said in a brief note. “We are working to fix the problem and restore all functions as soon as possible. We know what this brings inconvenience for some users, and apologize to the victims.” Spokesman Jason Khoury added that it had affected only a small group of users.

This small group reported, however, sometimes vehement, especially on Twitter. Some comments were, however, also be polite, or simply out of desperation.

The ad-free paid version of Yahoo Mail costs 15 € a year. Those who do not mind the advertising, which must also pay nothing.

No service outages before Cloud is completely immune. Amazon Web Services has recently affected several times. Gmail had failed twice in 2009 significantly, but has recently increased its service levels.
