Yup.
And this is the issue - it was a SKy email account I had years ago. At some point they switched to Yahoo which was fine for a while. I have left sky, but checked I could keep the email before I did. They told me they have to keep active email account open even when you are no longer a customer. I carried on using it for convienience.
I have so much history on there I feel kinda lost without it. Similar to the recent issues with photobucket.
I have a wezvenables.co.uk email address which I can access. I have used both over the years so password recovery for all sites could be a bit of painful experience if this is not sorted

ah, some news. Defintiely not just me. That's kinda reassuring at this point as I was starting to feel like Michael Douglas in The Game

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Still not much in the news, but reports on the Sky forum suggest its going to be down for a few days

BT have previously closed both of my emails down with no notice
The first was talk21, which bt bought out and then closed down. B*stards.
No way of getting anything out of them. These were legacy accounts, set up when 1. Talk21 was free and 2. I had a BT internet account with free emails. They only honour the accounts for so long then one day, gone with no warning.
Caused me loads of grief, esp with any on line log in's, if you 'forgot password' it sends the reset to the closed BT account and that's it dead forever. Make sure you don't do that, keep guessing.
but it seems like it's half of all sky yahoo accounts affected. The suggestion is that yahoo deactivated them due to a breach, and sky need to manually reactivate . People who have got through to the call centres have been fobbed off with 72hr Response times

the hardest bit was actually finding a way to speak to someone
