*If* you are on alot of yahoo email lists, and *if* your ISP has any problems with it's mail server, it will bounce all of your mail. Yahoo has a preset number of bounces (called soft) that it will allow. Then it tries one more time. If it bounces again (called hard) then it shuts you down. You have to go to Yahoo to reactivate your account. I found this out several weeks ago when I got to wondering why I wasn't getting any of my mail. I called my ISP and found out they'd had a hiccup on their mail server. I then contacted Yahoo and they sent me a link to restore all my settings. All my groups were there, they had just been frozen. Once I followed Yahoo's instructions, all was well once again. This is just one reason why Yahoo quits sending email. Others can be as simple as Yahoo having a bad day and they freeze the wrong account, Yahoo getting overloaded and they freeze the wrong accounts, or someone trying to access Yahoo at the same time you are and they freeze the account. I'm sure there are other variables at play, but I have found that our ISP mail servers can do this when they hiccup and we get lots of mail in. Laura

I have some how lost my membership to all the Yahoo Groups I was on. I know
I will have to go back and rejoin them. But can someone please tell me why
this happened? I am at a loss, and don't want it to happen again.
Thanks
Jacquita
