Yahoo mail "offline". How to restore back to online?
Frostbyte, Thank you for your reply.. Yes, extremely frustrating for both of us and I'd imagine many others! Having to shut down a computer to fix a problem that shouldn't even be one, is extremely disconcerting to say the least! My drives are also an SSD drive. Not sure the type of drive would make any difference anyway. I'll try your suggestion of "When Yahoo mail shows the "No Internet Connection" popup box click on anything else in the Yahoo controls under the address bar. "Home", "News", etc. That will force a re-connection to the Yahoo servers. Then click on "Mail" to go back to email. The email connection to Yahoo will be reestablished and you can proceed as normal. Watch what opens because this may load another tab with Mail in it. You can close that tab and just go back to Mail in the original tab." This will at least forego the necessity of having to shut down the computer and re-start. The next time I have this problem I'll try what you suggested and report back with the result.
Thanks again for your response to this vexing problem.
