There are hundreds of quirky problems happening this week on YMail. Many users can not get into their mail at all. This happened in 2007 and 2009 when Yahoo was working on the site. It is not your computer or browser. No one on Google or Bing could explain what s.yimg.com meant. One person said to "refresh the page" when this appears.

See if you can get to your email by clicking on the blue MAIL icon at the top of this page.

If not, try de.mail.yahoo.com since the German server seems to be unaffected.

If that does not work, go to features.mail.yahoo.com and click Try It Now. It is free and you can switch back later. The s.yimg will disappear when Yahoo is done working

S.yimg.com is controlling my Yahoo mail and slowing down my pc. How do I get rid of s.yimg?

s.yimg is a server for yahoo mail and is part of the yahoo mail process. First, make sure your internet browser is cleaned up. I like a product called cleanup from stephen gould. http://www.stevengould.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=69
Another popular product is ccleaner. They both will remove cluttered temporary internet files and cleanup cookies. This may help your slowness problem. Another thing to check is your DNS. I like to add Google's server 8.8.8.8 into the dns settings.

Yahoo mail doesn't load. it get's hung up "waiting for l.yimg.com"???

bad internet connection (especially if wireless)

perhaps try a reboot or better yet a shut down and restart (after at least one or two minutes being off)

If not: Try www.housecall.antivirus.com (trend micro) it is an excellent online virus scanner -- you could have a virus.

Best regards

I can't seem to open my mail...or it takes some time to for it to open up. What can I do to fix this problem. At the bottom on window it reads....s.yimg.com..... Can you help me?

try running some malware cleanup programs and or your anti virus. You might have something bogging down your email and or PC. Try programs like Malwarebytes, Spybot - Search and Destroy, Avast, CleanUp.

Hopefully this helps you out.

Have a great day..

I cant open yahoo mail..its just keep on loading...loading...

I have had the same problem. It tries and tries to load, but never does. Just get a blank, white page. All the Yahoo boiler-plate solutions (latest browsers, update Java and Adobe, etc.) do not help. I finally found out how to make it load INSTANTLY!

By blocking "www.yimg.com" I can do that with my latest version of FF browser, and my "no script" plug-in. The entire problem is with Yahoo's software revisions of "yimg.com" not with our browsers, etc. But, they won't admit that. Yahoo just keeps giving us the same old boiler-plate answers, which do not solve the problem.

What is (mail.yimg.com)?

mail.yimg.com has six IP numbers. All of them are on the same IP network. This hostname cnames to geoycs-l.gy1.b.yahoodns.net. e.yimg.com, l.yimg.com, us.yimg.com, ep.yimg.com, xa.yimg.com and at least 16 other hosts point to the same IP. yimg.com is a domain controlled by five nameservers at yahoo.com. All of them are on different IP networks. yimg.com has two IP numbers. They are on different IP networks. mail.yimg.com is hosted on six servers in United States. It is blacklisted in one list.

When I surfed to it, it came up with a blank page. Apparently it is black listed. I hope this helps you understand. It apparently is a mail server for yimg.com. Whoever yimg.com is.

I can't check my mail

I had the same problem - and it only started yesterday.

I had to allow 'mail.yimg.com' through my firewall - something I was always able to block. It makes me wonder exactly what mail.yimg.com is and why are Yahoo making it required now? Probably some sort of tracking ****...
