Today, I tried to check my Yahoo! mail account from my Acer Aspire One and this is what I got:
Not sure if this was a temporary change but http://mail.yahoo.com/ gave a benign not found error when I tried. I visited the Yahoo! homepage then accessed my mail from there instead. Reloading the URL worked afterwards.
If this change is permanent, them it might not be unconnected to Yahoo!'s recent hiring of Marissa Mayer from Google. They might want more users to hit the Yahoo! homepage rather than bypass it to read emails on their free account as that is what I mostly use them for these days. The more eyeballs that hit the homepage the higher their income from ads running on the Yahoo! network.
