Yahoo Mail: "Temporary error 15"

Unsupported browser or too many open sessions

Yahoo Mail shows this error instead of your inbox. Yahoo says it usually clears up within a few minutes to a few hours, and it is often caused by an unsupported browser or by the account being open in several browsers or devices at once.

Is Yahoo Mail down right now? Operational: 54 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this error could come from there; right now it looks normal.
