Alert: Planned Maintenance on Friday, 07 November

I want to give you some advanced warning that we are going to be doing maintenance to some of our Yahoo! Mail servers this weekend. Starting on Friday evening (November 7th) and continuing throughout the night, we are going to be undertaking extensive but essential work to our mail servers which means that some of you may not be able to access your archived mail folders or your mail overnight.

To minimize the inconvenience, we are starting the maintenance on the evening of Friday 7th of November at approximately 9pm GMT (London, Dublin)/ 10pm CET (Paris) and expect to complete it by midday GMT/ 1pm CET Saturday 8th November. If you are one of the users affected during that time, we will direct you to a page alerting you to what we’re doing.

Like other updates and upgrades (see here and here) that have come before, this maintenance is part of our continual efforts to give you the best Mail experience possible.

If you are one of the few that are affected, please accept my sincere apologies. We will restore access to your mailbox as soon as the maintenance is complete. And, when everything’s back online, I’ll update this post to let you know.

Andrew – Yahoo! Mail Team
