    Yahoo deactivated My EMail Account!

    STUPID FREAKING Yahoo deactived my email account without giving me a reason why. I found myself suddenly unable to access my email so I thought I got hacked and went to reset my password. When I filled out my information to reset my email account I find this out:


    This Yahoo! Account Has Been DeactivatedPlease remember that the Yahoo! Terms of Service provides that Yahoo! may terminate a User's password, account or use of the Service if Yahoo! believes (a) that a User has violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of the Yahoo! Terms of Service, or (b) that a User has violated the rights of Yahoo! or other Users or parties.

    STUPID FREAKING YAHOO! They didn't tell me anything!!!!!!!

      You can't email them! There isn't an email to email! I hate those technical support areas cause all they send are automated messages!!!!!


      And worst thing of all is I have no freaking idea what I did that constitutes locking up of my account!!!!!!

          I'm sooooo peeved right now.

          I lost months of work!

          From my vBulletin license (Need to confirm this first) to several dozen egroups to another few million forum groups, affiliate links/emails/newsletters, webmaster contact info, saved emails, a dozen saved gift certificates!

          Right now I'm scrambling to put everything back in order. This is sooooo FREAKING ANNOYING....

          I use this yahoo account so much and depend on it greatly. Lots of my stuff I do at my site is associated with this email account! ARGH! Talk about headaches!

                  My thoughts exactly. I see so many bounced emails from the free accounts that I don't see why anyone would rely on these accounts for any serious business.

                      I depend on it because I get sometimes hit by viruses. (daily I might add)

                      I got tired of it so I transfered a lot of my stuff to there to protect me. I was getting tired of seeing Klez and dozen other virus emails in my inbox.


                      Spam is another set of annoying emails I really hate. At least with the free email account I didn't have to worry about those garbage ending up in my main email and I can sort through it properly.

                              I don't. I run a capable virus protector and firewall on my computer so they are removed completely before I even see them.
