Asimov, Next time, read the thread carefully. It states that the "the message went to the coworker that it was supposed to go to originally". You were not asked for a comment on a situation that you are not educated about. Your response was not appropriate nor correct. And your comment , " whether it was justified or not", is certainly a poor response from you! Would you send someone an angry email if it was " not justified"? You are correct-you do not know enough about the situation and should never comment when you do not know/understand the situation. The coworker WAS specifically supposed to get the email, as specified in my original post. Part of our work in a nursing setting is confirming by email that specific doctor's requests are ordered. My email proves that I have sent the request in. Emails concerning work must be able to be documented- that you did inform someone about an incident, financials, etc. IF YOU DO NOT SEND AN EMAIL CONTAINING DATE/time/what was ordered, it is considered 'not completed' unless your email containing the info is sent. Not sent= not done. Sent=done. The email that did not go through was sent to three individuals at work. One of the email addresses had an 'm', instead of 'n' typed in the address, so it bounced back to me. As I have to prove that I did indeed attempt to send the email, That was the ,'proof' that I did attempt to send it. Nothing weird/bad/private was sent to the coworker-only the normal 'proof' that I had attempted to send. My only question was: does the returned encrypted email cause viruses? I have since gone in to both a computer repair and Talked with the communication engineers at work, Verizon, and all confirmed that viruses are not generated/passed along with a returned email. The encrypted return comes back encrypted because the address does not exist, so the email that I sent cannot be deciphered and completed. It is normal for it to come back that way and does not cause anything or do any damage of any kind. My question was simple. You did not even answer the question. Your answer was incorrect and your opinion was not asked for. For others, I have found out that encrypted returned emails cause no harm of any kind FYI. Next time please answer people's questions if you know the correct answer. You waste people's time with poor response to something you know nothing about.

Hi Francis, I Googled for the specific problem and found out that it is a problem that occurs at the yahoo server side and only option that we have is to wait till the yahoo guys fix the problem. Seems like it's some sort of a random problem and the yahoo support team is very slow in fixing the issue. Have you tried to sign out and back into your account?? I will continue to search for a better solution for you. Maybe someone else here has had the same problem and will submit an answer. Good luck! bbbluz

Got my concern fixed. I found in the IE Internet Options something checked the "Delete Browsing History on Exit" located on the General Tab. The Yahoo interface change is just coincidence. I am wondering if the last IE cumulative update may have done it. Since I am a 98% FF user I never gave a thought to look at the options until today. DA

Or maybe you don't access your account as often and just missed the window of downtime. Its problems are way more often this last week than other times. It's acting up right now. Try the link I have farther up the thread, and you'll see how large a chunk of time it's been misbehaving today. It's a moving graph so it won't show you Monday, for instance. not right this moment for me, but it was earlier and it absolutely was on Monday. Or maybe I only hit it when it wasn't working. Either way, I think you're dismissing things you shouldn't dismiss. Yahoo is having trouble right now. It'd be nice if it worked every time one opened their mail. Which is what one would expect from a mail provider. I've been with them for a very long time. It's my only email provider outside of work. I won't change. But to say it's smooth sailing, what's wrong with you? just shows you're either A) lucky, B) don't access it as often as others, or C) are oblivious(?).
