I'm not sure when, but recently i can't get to Yahoo mail. I get this error: Error code: sec_error_unknown_issue, and all this about Yahoo mail being an untrusted site. The URL I try to go to is: https://us-mg5.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=ad728qcj92u13#5401434133

Very frustrating!

Did you bookmark that specific link?

If you did then you should be cautious to bookmark a link to such specific server as there availability isn't guaranteed. It is usually best to start with the main or login page of such services and navigate to your inbox or strip off the leading domain like the above posted link.

Yes, I've bookmarked for years, and never had the issue.

But as I remarked in the earlier post, magically it seems to have solved itself.

I did try a few things, none of which seemed to work. So I was using the same bookmark in Internet Explorer which was working, and now, presto, it's also working in Mozilla.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

when the problem was happening, I think I was able to go to the main Yahoo mail page, but then when I would log in, then when I would click mail, I would get the error.

Go figure.
