What's up with Yahoo emails

Has anyone been having trouble with Yahoo emails. I do a large number of email communication and seem to be reinventing the wheel because this Yahoo email glitch. I have written personal emails to all contacts that have yahoo emails through Outlook (rather than TP or intersend). I have not gotten any response. I have had a Yahoo email for some time to test how emails look through this service. The only way I have gotten any response is when I send a message from my ListingBook service. (It is always the same - email still valid.) This has been a minor focus for about a week. Being the Cowboy that I am I do not like to give up. My only thought is keep going and purge certain ones that obviously are not valid any more.

Has anyone had better luck.

Thanks Bonnie, This is something that seems to be wasting time and is counterproductive.

It's been awful on my end. It will show that I have one new e-mail and I have to scroll back through 5 pages of read mail to find the one I never read that wasn't there before!?!

I have been having A LOT of trouble with yahoo emails lately ! Working on trying to fix it and will possibly move to another carrier if need be. Our emails are important right now. I have also been getting a LOT of error messages or simply booting me out...are you ?

I have had the same problem too Sandra !

It wasnt just TP that they blocked...they blocked just about anyone that sends out multiple emails from the same server or IP addy.

i read that there are problems with Top Producer and Yahoo however I believe the same thing might be happening with alamode (a company that offers agent/broker websites with 'drip marketing' functionality).

Is anyone else having a problem with their alamode site?

Renee - This seems to be across the board and trying to find out a way to solve it.

I can only add that I get a lot of spam that gets filtered out from one of the auto mail places. Its a pain but yahoo does get 98% of them. The bad side is that sometimes a good e-mail also goes there. Getting several hundred overnite now is the norm.

This seems to be a Yahoo issue. Any email set can set up filters and keep from getting spam. The emails from TP don't get spammed out.

Bonner- This past week one of my AR friends kept asking why I didn';t reply to her email? What....I didn';t get any. Bottom line was I wasn't receiving anything from her.....we tried a test and it was the mail that was going through her Outlook that I wasn't getting.

Yahoo has tighted up it spam filters and is very quick to black list a entire e-mail server.... Recently Top Producer was BLACK LISTED, but since worked it out with Yahoo. You may see some of my post about this in the Top Producer 7i group.

This seems very odd that group emails are going through and not individual emails from topproducer. I am still getting spam on my yahoo email. Almost seems backwards.
