Yahoo says it is "Working diligently" to solve the problem. "Yahoo is currently experiencing a global outage, which means that many of our customers are unable to access their BT Yahoo email accounts," said a spokesman for BT. "Yahoo is working to fix the issue as quickly as possible, we're sorry for any inconvenience caused."
