Yahoo Confirms Mail Outage

Yahoo on Monday confirmed a Mail outage that affected a small number of its users.
"A small fraction of Yahoo! Mail users may have experienced intermittent email issues earlier today, October 26, but the problem has now been resolved. We believe this was an isolated incident. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused," a Yahoo spokeswoman said in an e-mail.
The downtime comes the same day Yahoo shuttered its Geocities Web site building service, 10 years after acquiring the company.
Some Twitter users affected by the Yahoo outage suggested that they might have to switch to Google's Gmail, but that service has not been any more reliable lately. Gmail suffered outages in February, March, and two times in September.
