I just got a reply from yahoo saying that the problem is at Blackerry's end!! I aslo got the same reply from blackberry stating that everyhing is just fine and Yahoo should fix this problem!!

I guess we are stuck in between! I can't create a new account for both my domain @ yahoo small business nor yahoo!

I have my yahoo mail forwarded to a gmail account (temporarily, I hope). BIS access to the gmail account is no problem. That indicates to me the problem is on yahoo's end.

I am having the same issue. Yahoo/BIS worked perfectly for months and, as of this morning, no Yahoo hosted mail is being pushed to my BB. GMail works fine. Hopefully they will have this issue resolved soon.

Same thing here. After deleting my swbell account and reregistering it on my blackberry I'm getting all my emails including a bunch of spam I wasn't getting before this fiasco.

Here's the fix I followed from the Broadband Reports AT&T subforum:

Be prepared for a wait. I waited 20 minutes but it is important to voice your concerns.

I don't have a number for Blackberry yet. Used to. Don't know where it is.

Thanks for the continuining updates on this forum. Please continue to post!

When I deleted my account off of BIS - i tried to reenter it and it would not validate - it then took me through a quick download and it set-up my account through Outlook Express - I'm getting email now (wasn't before) but I need a dozen eggs to go with all the SPAM.....better than nothing so hopefully this will all get fixed soon - still holding for yahoo but their automated message addresses the BB issue......

[BerryLA]

I have the same issue AT&T/Cingular with an att.yahoo.com account

I'm on hold with customer service who just alerted me that "HOLD TIME IS 30 minutes"

No reason to panic - Let the techs at Blackberry/Yahoo/AT&T do that

[pscheel]

I deleted and set up my email account with yahoo. Getting my emails again. However, it is taking much longer to receive them. Before they were almost instantaneous.

[ameagle987]

I was able to delete & re-add the email acct. However it's acting like a POP acct, emails every 15-20 min. No instant-sync.

How ironic that it's the paid acct (Yahoo SBC) that's having issues but the free yahoo acct is working perfectly fine.

[agstar]

I used to be able to receive yahoo emails fine until last night - I deleted my acct and tried to set it up again; but get a message saying account cannot be validated. Hope they fix this soon - please keep posting so we know if things are progressing...

[BigPlaya]

I was just able to delete and reconfigure my Yahoo hosted account on the VZW BIS. Yahoo emails are now coming through, but delivery is significantly delayed. Better than nothing I guess...

[nynativecagirl@yahoo.com]

Mine deactivated last night, I have free yahoo, tmobile. I have not been able to reactivate it, even tried by going to t-mobile site. my mom & daughter both have pearl with yahoo/cingular and they have no problems! it has to be tmobile!!
has anyone figured this out yet?

[kmcvey]

I just spoke with a rep from T-Mobile and he just advised me that there is a network outage for T-Mobile regarding the forwarding of Yahoo/SBCGlobal email. I too received the email saying that my account coulnd't be validated; he advised that it isn't anything w/my phone- it's a nationwide outage. Said there is no ETA - but he did give me an extra 100 bonus minutes due to the outage - so give a call and ask for the BlackBerry support group.

This is your hosted smal biz mail account that is finally working again? Please reply as we are trying to get to the bottom of what is causing this problem.

Thanks,

Linda

[jwh463]

anybody tried this??

If anyone has been having problems getting yahoo email or has gotten the "your email account is no longer accessable by your handheld" message, there's a current outage that's causing Yahoo accounts to drop out of being validated.

Started last night.

Only known fix right now is to remove/re-add email acct on BIS site (BlackBerry Internet Service)

No known time it'll be fixed right now.

[frankeg3]

This works - but it's delayed and lots of SPAM - better than nothing - just remember if you 're using Outlook / OE as a forwarder - leave your desktop on and Outlook on also or you won't get any messages to your BB.

Thanks,

Linda (from Yahoo!)

I use AT&T Internet Services in the San Francisco Bay Area as my DSL provider. My email is hosted by Yahoo and my email address is in the format: . I was able to sucessfully reconfigure my account via BIS but, like I posted before, message delivery to my BB is significantly delayed. It used to be nearly instantaneous, but now it takes 12-15 minutes. Hope that helps...

[puckplayer4]

I've had to resend service books twice now (last night and again this am)...working fine for now.
