Address Book Errors

主題: Address Book Errors 周日 3月 22, 2009 9:47 am

Some of you have left comments here on the blog about errors you’re encountering when trying to update a friend’s contact information in Yahoo! Messenger. For example, when trying to update someone’s info, you might see this error when you try to save your changes:

Error: The last address book operation did not succeed due to a server error (-40402)

As you may or may not know, Yahoo! Messenger is integrated with the Yahoo! Address Book (part of Yahoo! Mail). As a result, when they are doing any kind or maintenance, upgrades or server work, it can result in some Yahoo! Messenger users encountering errors when they try to make changes to their address book content.

Currently, the Yahoo! Address Book team is upgrading some of their servers over the next few weeks. As a result, you may occasionally run into these types of errors.

As a workaround, you can try the edit again later in Yahoo! Messenger or to make your changes right away, head over to http://address.mail.yahoo.com and make your changes directly on the Address Book site.

Again, these types of errors are usually temporary and can be worked around by *** changes directly on the Address Book site. Thanks for your patience.
