Oh yes. Yahoo has been creating off and on problems for the last
several days. Not only have I encountered intermittent connection
problems with various Yahoo accounts, I've seen several bounces from
subscribers with Yahoo accounts.
The asking for a password or telling you that your password is
incorrect is somewhat of a "red herring," meaning a false lead or
impression. Those reports are often just your client's interpretation
of an error code. Rarely is there an actual password problem. If your
password worked before, it should not be considered the cause of the
error. This is just a connection problem with the Yahoo mail servers.
Yahoo seems to be having all kinds of problems. Frankly, I think they
are just too darn big. They just cannot keep up with their own growth.
It goes to show you that "Bigger" is not necessarily "Better," as has
been thought before. Certainly not in the case of remote poppers.
