How do i fix my mail server?

On my yahoo homepage, I can put my cursor over the envelope by my name and it used to show me who has sent me mail. Now it says--Oops We cant seem to connect to your mail server---Why is this? How do I fix this? Everything else works fine, I just click on the envelope and I get into my mail and I can send and receive mail, no problem. That feature that I did have was great.

    You could switch browsers and see if that helps.

    Also you could have a corrupt cookie. Clear the browser cache of cookies, temp files and history. Click Ok and Restart the computer.

    Make sure your JavaScript and adobe flash is updated
