Perhaps for some technical problem your system goes sluggish or crappy with Yahoo! Mail..
The cause is multi-dimentional. It may be because of slow internet connection.Problem with the server of Mail beta with your 'webmaster', active java scriptings,applets not enabled, corrupted browser cache,windows firewall or any personal anti-virus firewall (being too tight to communicate),lack of adequate windows resources or physical memory RAM of your system (need at least 1GB for Win XP and 2GB for vista),infected system,problem with the .dll files of your browser or invalid or deleted or corrupted registry of your mail installation.
Click 'Refresh' button,clear history,delete offline files from tem internet folder,clean your browser's cache,clear SSL slate,delete unnecessary cookies.
The problem can be from other party also as technical problem issues relating to server's,then you need to contact via E-mailing with your email ID and your complain headline and problem description or fillup the mail feedback online-form.
Email Yahoo! at these addresses:

It certainly sounds suspicious and I won't check it out as one can invite a virus on ones computer just by opening an unsuspecting web page. Hope you haven't entered any information.
My advice to all yahoo users at the moment is:
Don't download anything from your mail server at the moment, access it if you can as web mail only. Report to Yahoo re the problem and wait their instructions.
My guess Yahoo may be under attack and is having difficulty defending territory.
Make sure all security is up to date on your computer; firewall, antivirus, spybot etc. and scan every time after you have had contact with Yahoo suspect mail accounts.
Good Luck All - My Yahoo is ok at the moment.
