Is Email From Yahoo! Phishing?

I received an email from Yahoo! telling me to sign in and reactivate my account  This looks like phishing to me, and yet there appears to be a notice on the Yahoo! website saying it's legitimate.  Is it -- or have I ended up on a fake Yahoo! website?

i would log on to yahoo and try relogging in the email account.  If it works, then its not deactivated then most likely its a fake you are recieving.
