I've got something new: I tried to access http://mail.yahoo.com and it failed again (infinite redirect).

Then I tried to access my emails by clicking on "Mail" on the http://www.yahoo.com homepage, and it failed again.

Finally, I signed out from YaHoo! (on the homepage), then I returned to YaHoo! Mail directly and got prompted with the usual login screen. I entered my credentials and I accessed my emails!

I assume this is an ad hoc fix for those of you who encounter this problem.

Concerning the bug, it could be related to the cookie, as there is an auto-redirect for users who have already signed in (i.e. their "remember me" option).

Note that I have not reported that the site was broken.
