WHy is Yahoo mail so slow?

Hello - Does Yahoo person ever anser these or is it just people guessing as to reasons. - Mail has been very slow for months now . WTF is the problem? Any Yahoo techs out there can answer. I tried a yahoo search and only found this lame Answers crap - maybe if I google I can get an answer. Yahoo mail is really starting to SUCK.

Update:

no responce from support yet, unless the person w/ the 'what cpu and isp do i have counts' doubt it - by the way it makes no diff - at home or work - YAHOO MAIL IS SLOW. The problem has got to be at the server level. Every once in while though it speeds up. - I guess it could be worse - I could be paying for this crap.

    I'm sorry to hear about your problems.

    It's important to know that not all accounts are stored on the same server. Yahoo!, like all internet companies, use multiple servers. There could well be hundreds, if not thousands, of servers in use at any given time. For this reason, just because someone else's account is working doesn't guarantee yours will work. The opposite is also true. Just because your account isn't working doesn't mean others aren't, either.

    To determine if the issue is with your account, try accessing your mail from a different computer using a totally different ISP. If the issue persists and it has been more than a day, then the issue is probably server related. You will need to contact Yahoo! Customer Care for help.

    To contact Yahoo! Customer Care, go to the product help page for the specific Yahoo! product you need help with, and select the most closely appropriate help article. If the details don't address your concern, click the "Contact Us" link to generate a web form message.

    it's not yahoo!

    it's YOUR provider!

    if you have AOL or something like that with a telephone line, you're not going to get the fastest, even though they claim to be the fastest. try your local cable for the fastest possible speed!

    i've been with yahoo since 1995 & i love the fact that i can access them from ANYWHERE!

    they are the easiest to access from other countries & within the USA also.

    good luck!

    Have you deleted your internet cookies ?

    Have you done a disc clean up?

    These two things alone can cause any program to slow WAY down
