Found a Yahoo mail block workaround: (this is a fix, not complaint)

Yahoo mail users who are unable to get the emailed codes add as a contact:

eveonline@service.ccpgames.com

Give it a few minutes to "settle in" - but this should retrieve all the previously blocked and unviewable verification mails.

When you get them most of these codes will have expired, either because they're more than 10 minutes old or because a newer (and possibly now expired) code has superseded it.

Try logging in (either on the website or launcher) and let it sit on the enter verification code screen while you try to get yahoo to spit out the new mail. While the added contact should keep the mail from being blocked the mail is likely still going to be delayed by a few minutes, just wait it out and keep refreshing the mail box, if it takes more than 7 or 8 minutes try logging in again, *sometimes* (and this is only an observation, not necessarily true) it seems like yahoo will spit them out faster if there are more than 1.

Eventually you should be able to get a code that is within its 10 minute time frame and get logged in.


@ ISD - can this get stickied for people who are still having yahoo issues?
