Well suddenly Yahoo web mail isn't working on Ubuntu 10.04. It looks like it works, until you try to read an individual email. This is what you get:

So here's the list of possible culprits:

• The web browser: Firefox 3.6.6
• The client operating system: Ubuntu 10.04 (or the software update from this week)
• The hypervisor: Oracle VirtualBox 3.2.0
• The host operating system: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
• The web application: Yahoo! Mail (New Version)
• The web host: Yahoo!

Given that list, I did what anyone would do. I blamed Yahoo and did the easiest thing I could to localize the problem. I switched to Yahoo! Mail classic. Problem solved.

Now I don't in fact know what caused this problem in the first place. While I am curious, I have my email back and that's the most important thing. If I had to guess, I bet this all goes away in a few weeks while I do nothing but wait.
