I encountered a weird error on Yahoo! Mail a few minutes back. I was awaiting an important email and thought I’ll login quickly at my account. Unfortunately, the system just didn’t let me. I tried several times but to no avail. Below is a screenshot of the error I got when I went through the Yahoo login page.

Cannot login at Yahoo mail account - encountered LaunchOutage error message

I am sure the username and password were correctly entered on the Yahoo sign in page; anyway, that didn’t seem to be the issue.

This wass different. The system responds with the following message:
The error, LaunchOutage, occurred when trying to connect to Yahoo! Mail.

Yahoo, obviously, does not want to leave their subscribers in the lurch. They mention that the error might be temporary but I could not access email after repeated attempts. There was also a prompt on the page to get to the account through the Mail Classic Yahoo version. That didn’t help at all as I got a “Sorry, the page you requested was not found“. Too bad. I think I’ll wait for 10 – 15 minutes.

Yahoo Classic version not available - Sorry cannot find the page!

I’m not sure if this issue is with only my account or is affecting others as well – I hope it’s the latter because then it will be addressed fairly quickly by the Yahoo technical people.

Update: I was able to get to my Yahoo Mail account after about 15 minutes of encountering the error. Guess it was temporary after all. I had thought of checking the Yahoo email account on my iPhone but could not locate my cell phone. The problem was ironed out in the meanwhile.
