1. Clear your cookies and temporary internet files (AKA cache), exit from the browser, then restart the browser.
2. If you are a home user and do not pay for a static IP address, get a different dynamic IP address; do
[Start] > [Run] > cmd > ipconfig
{{write down the IP address, then disconnect from the Internet with}}
ipconfig /release
{{wait a few minutes and then reconnect with}}
ipconfig / renew
{{compare the new IP address to the old to make sure your IP address changed, then try again}}
If you are an office user, try someone else's PC which will have a different IP address.
3. Log into Yahoo through a different country's server. I.e. if you usually log into Yahoo via
http://login.yahoo.com/ or
http://mail.yahoo.com/ then try
http://login.korea.yahoo.com/ or
http://nz.yahoo.com/
4. Access your Yahoo mailbox via
http://wap.oa.yahoo.com/
5. Use a different browser. Use Firefox (free download from mozilla.com) if you normally use IE or Safari.
6. If you have a web accelerator (mostly an affliction of dial-up users) then try turning it off.
7. If you use a proxy server (mostly a corporate user thing) then try turning it off.
