Same reason I am. Think it probably suggests we are stupid, or something. Well I am blonde, what's your excuse?

Yahoo Must be up to something!
Mon Feb 6, 2006
Doomsday For The Internet As We Know It?
The first steps in a move to charge for every e mail sent have already
been taken. Under the pretext of eliminating spam, Bill Gates and
other industry chieftains have proposed Internet users buy credit
stamps which denote how many e mails they will be able to send. This
of course is the death knell for political newsletters and mailing
lists.
The New York Times reports that "America Online and Yahoo, two of the
world's largest providers of e-mail accounts, are about to start using
a system that gives preferential treatment to messages from companies
that pay from 1/4 of a cent to a penny each to have them delivered.
The senders must promise to contact only people who have agreed to
receive their messages, or risk being blocked entirely."
The end game is a system similar to China, whereby no websites even
mildly critical of the government will be authorized.

You may wish to know that although I cannot access my mail from the answers page by clicking on the mail link, if I click on the Yahoo! link then select My Mail I can access my email.
Don't know if this will work for you but it may help some other users.

I've just answered another question on the same subject as I've been having problems all day. At least I can go to bed knowing others are meeting the same difficulties and it's not as I feared my computer on the blink. Small consolation I know.
