Why i cannot view my new emails, compose an email message, or open my folders in my email account?

Yahoo is still having some problems at the moment. Suggested cures range from Update Adobe Flash Player and Java script to clear IE7 cache, cookies, and browsing history. Different things seem to work for different people. It's causing attachments to not show, 999 errors where it won't let you do a particular action and some people cannot send receive delete or move mail. It's not just Vista either it's happening to some of us on XP. If all else fails go back to classic mail via this link. http://us.mg1.mail.yahoo.com/dc/optout?s... click yes when asked do you want to opt out. Hope this helps.

Sounds like you are using the New Mail, if so, click Mail Classic at the top of the mail screen and follow the prompt, If this is the classic mail, well Yahoo had a message up that they are doing some maintenance on their sites and hope to be finished soon. Thanking us for our patience.
