Oops: Yahoo! Japan Mistakenly Deletes 4.5M e-Mails
Yahoo Japan Corp. accidentally deleted about 4.5 million e-mails sent to 275,600 users due to a mistake in its e-mail service system, the company said.More here.
Yahoo allows users to exchange e-mail messages for free without using an e-mail software. According to the company, most of the deleted e-mails were received between Dec. 26 and Feb. 25.
The system usually removes e-mails deemed "junk mail" from its server about 40 days after the e-mails are received. However, it wrongly deleted e-mails that should have been kept on the server.
The company discovered the mistake after receiving complaints from users that they could not open certain e-mails they had received.
