Unusual Activity Detected


Dear Yahoo'ers,

My yahoo account show s a message "Unusual Activity Detected - To protect you, your account has been suspended from sending, saving, and receiving mail for up to 48 hours"

Its been more than a week now and although I can login to my yahoo acct, i am not able to send/recieve mails. I know many users have come across this problem, just want to know, if this is going to be permanently disabled, or should I wait for some more time.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

I think it is a crafty way for Yahoo to limit the activity on their servers since they gave
everyone unlimited storage.

If they close -say- 10% of the accounts down every day, they will ease their capacity problems.

Since Yahoo have started their unlimited capacity offer, there have been many spurious "faults" where you could not access your account, when "unusual activity" has been detected.

If they could not guarantee unlimted storage without resorting to these tricks then, to be frank, they should not have introduced it in the first place.

Its happened to me twice and once I deleted a bunch of emails and empty my trash I am able to receive and send emails with no problem.

I believe it is a way of yahoo doing this to some people's account who send out big emails too. I didn't have any problem for almost last 10 years and suddenly I got this messages 2 times in last 3 days. I started to forward some of the big nice mails I got from friends the last few days and I got this message. It is not nice to suspend people's email just like that. It will cause me a lot of problem I know for sure.

Funny thing.... Yesterday I've sent this email:

#######################

From: "Daniel Nogueira" <___@yahoo.co.uk> View Contact Details
Subject: Terrorristas no UK
To: ocomboio@yahoogroups.com

Curiosidades, ao estilo mais-do-mesmo: Here are Flickr photos of the Christmas lights of Ipswich, every one taken by terrorists no doubt.

E será que por mencionar a palavra terrorristas (olha, terrorristas outra vez) alguma vezes neste mail e até no assunto, o SIS me vai visitar?

Olá SIS! Querem ver a minha "camera license" ?

#######################

Translating, I was joking with the fact that SIS (A sort of Portuguese FBI) could eventually monitor emails, because of the mentioning Terrorristas 3times, including the subject.... and today, I got this situation....

What do you think?....
