Yahoo says it has fixed a glitch that kept some Yahoo Mail users from accessing their e-mail for a few days between June 21 and June 24. A "small fraction of one percent" of Yahoo Mail users were affected, and most had their accounts restored on June 24, a Yahoo spokeswoman said. "The issue has been resolved; however, e-mail messages sent to the impacted accounts during that time were not able to be delivered and were returned to the sender," said spokeswoman Kelly Podboy.
