Hi Lisa,

I can help guide you, but I'm not doing the actual email restore.

That process is handled by Yahoo. You'll need to wait for them to process the restore request.

There were many requests today. Apparently there was an issue that impacted lots of users.

Around 18 months ago I wrote the following when lots of Yahoo users were upset about a long outage:

Yahoo users, consider getting your own domain name | Email Questions

The takeaway is that if your email is important it's best not to be dependent on a free email service provider.

Most free email service providers are only able to provide limited support for their users.

I hope Yahoo is able to recover your missing email, and that either way you can use this as a learning experience.

Please let us know if we can help you pick a domain name that will be yours for life and an email service that will be a good match for your needs.

THANK YOU POPOWICH. YOU PROVIDED SO MUCH INFO. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I KNOW NOW YAHOO
WILL DO THE RESTORE--WHICH COULD BE IN A MINUTE OR A MONTH--IT HELPS THAT I KNOW EVENTUALLY
I'LL GET LOST EM BACK. I DID READING OTHER COMMENTS FROM THIS SITE AND W/ YOU STATING AN ISSUE
18 MO AGO ON MY BDAY 12-13!! I DIDN'T HAVE PROBS THEN!! YES, THIS IS ANOTHER VALUABLE LESSON LEARNED.
THANKS AGAIN AND I'M GLAD TO KNOW HOW TO GET TO YOUR HELP DESK.

PS YES CAPS CAUSE IT'S EASIER--NO I'M NOT YELLING!!

One more from Lisa:

Hello Please help me. Last time Popowich was very helpful. Now my issue is when I go to
my yahoo inbox from my dell comp windows enter through chrome my inbox comes on the
screen but only 3-4 show and the rest of the page has an envelop I want gone. I need to see
all em as I rely on them to scroll up and down. I called RCN to ask from my yahoo help reply to
clean cookies I cleaned but the envelop is still there. I then went to bing and tried my em inbox
and still the envelop shows. I'm not computer savvy so will you please help me get my full page
screen back so I can see all my inbox em? Thank you
Lisa
