Why is my mail consistently 2 hours late?

When I check my mail it is empty. Then an hour later when I check it it says it was sent over an 2 hours ago. I have had one that was 3 hours later than when it was sent. Or does it take 2 hours to deliver mail?

    That happens to me sometimes with Yahoo mail. I am only guessing but since the packets go all over the world on different servers and end up all together in your mail box then must be that some servers get overloaded sometimes. That would not explain your mail being consistently late.

    depends on the sender and your mail client. If either of you use a mail server, it might "batch process" mail, which means it checks for incomming/outgoing mail. It could also be your mail client which might be set to check every so many hours. Depending on what you use, the correct answer could be totally different.
