Purple Palace fails to explain what's gone wrong ...

Updated Yahoo!'s email service tumbled off the interwebs in the past hour when it began spewing out a "temporary error" message to an unknown number of users in the UK.

The Purple Palace, however, remained silent about the outage on its official Twitter customer care account.

At time of publication, it was not clear how many netizens had been hampered by the service disruption.

Some users were greeted with this message:
