Yahoo mail error code14, 17, 999

I am experiencing lots of problems with Yahoo mail lately. Getting lots of error 999, error code 17, 14,,,,,,,, you name it. Today I cant even open any email. I get signed out of yahoo messenger with a message saying that " You have been signed off because you signed in on a different computer or device!!!" Strange isn't it? May be someone has hacked my yahoo ID and Pw and is doing it at the same time I am. Certainly I am not signing in on two different devices. I tried the new Yahoo mail thinking that the problem may go away but got the error 999 saying: unable to perform the requested task = not being able to open new emails. Help please help. I got too many good emails and don't like switching to another service provider. By the way I have asked for help before but have only received the typical kind of automatic answer from yahoo data base. Please SOMEONE HELP. Thanks a zillion.

You can access your email here for now until Yahoo gets all the bugsout. They have been upgrading their servers lately, causing problemsfor all of us. http://us.m.yahoo.com/p/mail Or: http://de.m.yahoo.com/p/mail It's basic, but it works. I used it last night when they were messing around with my compose screen.

Dear friend, I agree with you that yahoo has some errors and unknown problem with its fantastic number error like 999! but it's a little strange to have too many problems and errors. About that Error in YM, maybe you hacked (as you said), according to your talking, I guess your computer infected by some viruses, and another problem is your OS maybe and also your network. I strongly suggest you to re-install your OS, and install a powerful anti virus, update it and scan your files on system. And about Error 999: Error 999 IS a Ban ... a censor tool, used by Yahoo

Help-link:- (( http://www.murraymoffatt.com/software-pr... )

You can do a few things if you are impatient ( re cleanup computer, dump temp files etc) but this will not help error 999 the best option if you have a dynamic IP is to do a full "flick of the switch", and when you power back up you will come back with a new IP, ( with some turn off comp for 8 hours), but usually you get a new IP when you power up straight after the shutdown, you can continue posting the link under the new IP. 

Best quick fix >>>> login to your Yahoo! mail via an international server...http://world.yahoo.com/ and access your mail / ya / 360 /games from there by clicking the mail icon, stay within that browser. That, is the best temp fix for the system

Also reply to Yahoo using the link they give you in that Error 999 page. I did it once or twice and I was free from the Error. It has been said that answering, voting too quickly may cause that Error. So give some gap of 2-3 mins between any two Questions you answer.

Almost Always I got this problem solved by following the above suggestions

Yahoo mail will not start ie error 14

My answer is going to be somewhat flippant, so tune out if you are easily offended. There are a lot of people having this problem. Google search "IE error 14" or "Internet explorer error 14". There are lots of questions and answers regarding this.
My flippant answer is to first quit using IE (Google is cleaner, gives me the answers I am looking for, and is very configurable). Second, quit using Yahoo... but then these are both personal choices. I tried to be flippant... couldn't keep with it. I really hope you resolve your problem.

The error, LaunchEmptyResponse, occurred when trying to connect to Yahoo! Mail.

Hi. I Think that's the error LAUNCH FFC-1. If yes, there are hundreds or thousands of people experiencing that problem. You will experienced that problem if you are using BT Yahoo! Mail. Try to switch back to Yahoo! Mail Classic. I think yahoo is aware with the problem, maybe they are upgrading the servers or anything that's why this problem occurs. Try to switch to other browser and if the problem still exist I think you need to wait until the problem fixed by Yahoo.

My yahoo id is [email protected] yahoo messanger account has been blocked problem number 81003003 even mail is not opening

This is what yahoo had to say.
We released an updated version of Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 today (9.0.0.2128). This latest build includes a fix for the sign-in issues that have been affecting some users. If you were seeing an error code "81003005" (Although you are getting code 81003003) when trying to sign in, this latest version may fix that problem. Even if you were experiencing a different kind of sign-in issue, we recommend installing this latest version.

I think you have to contact Yahoo to solve that problem, when you are logged in on yuor mail everything you do is happaning on yahoos server. So to solve this problem i think the people on Yahho is the ones to ask.

Good Luck!
