Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

hello John-Drake, are you a yahoo mail user and does it work when you access yahoo mail through this link?: https://mail.yahoo.com/

reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/971042

I'm not sure as to what exactly is going on, but it looks like yahoo has changed something on their side that makes certain old urls/servers dysfunctional (that you may are currently using because you've bookmarked them before or through your history) - at least quite a number of other users have reported that...
so using the generic address https://mail.yahoo.com/ as a bookmark should lead you to the current & working url.
