What can I do if my yahoo email account has suddently stopped working?

Asked by occ (4176) February 11th, 2007

I haven't received email in my Yahoo account for 3 days! People keep telling me they've sent me messages, and i have nothing there, not even any in my spam folder, which usually gets about 30 messages a day. I am no where near filling the storage quota for the account. Apparently Yahoo makes you pay $29.99 just to speak to a human being about your account, but I think that's so outrageous that I refuse to pay. Is there anything else I can do?? Has this happened to anyone else before?
