I have two Yahoo mail accounts, one of them I can sign into, no problem, the other, which I've had longer than that one, I can't access, it's telling me access is forbidden. I have no idea why it's telling me that on that one only, as far as I know I've not broken any Yahoo rules at all. So please can anyone help me with this problem?
Also, I'd like to know if anyone else is having problems with Yahoo. Thank you.

When is the last time you logged into the locked out account? Yahoo automatically disables accounts that have been dormant (not logged in) for 6 months. Then if someone else requests that account name, you can lose it.
How many times did you attempt without success? Most places lock you out after the 3rd unsuccessful attempt to login.
Did you try the "forgot my password" link? Even if you know your password, try using that and see if you can pass that part. Otherwise someone else may have taken over your account.

I logged in last week, so it's not that. It must be that I re-tried it too many times, but I put in the correct name and password, so I don't know.
Maybe it's just playing up. Thank you for the advice, I shall try that. :)

dude they dont close your account but they instead make it standby like if you access it again than they will ask you that every thing is deleted in the account but you can use their premium offer bla bla bla .u can get back ur account but nothing will be backup

We thought it was a browser problem but it seems to be with Yahoo. I got the message saying I wasn't permitted to use that URL or something. It is with Yahoo and if you just try again, it might work. That's all we did but it did do it a few times but it's ok now.

I had problems getting into Yahoo the other day - I think they were doing upgrades but I haven't heard your problem before dorypanda! could you not contact Yahoo from the account you can access and make an enquiry about the other one? I hope you get it sorted - good to see you! xxx
