New Yahoo! Mail is slow?

I really do like the new upgrades to Yahoo! Mail. The interface is very spiffy, and the added features are great. The only issue I have is that it is now very slow. Even deleting and moving emails is very lagged. Is there a plan to fix this issue?

    Usually this is not a Yahoo problem....has to do with your computer

    Yahoo advises that MANY of the problems related not being able to open up email....getting blank screens ....etc....is due to a clogged system. cleaning it up as described below should help. good luck.

    In addition check what your RAM capacity is for your computer. Depending on who you talk to the minimum you should have will vary between 1GB and 4GB. (I have 1.24GB) You can check this by clicking on START....RIGHT clicking on MY COMPUTER ...then PROPERTIES..and you should be in the GENERAL section that will show you your capacity. Many computers will have 512mb, which, if you are on the internet alot, will fill up quickly and slow your computer down. Also RIGHT click on an open area in your taskbar (very bottom of the screen) and then click on TASK MANAGER..when that box appears click on PERFORMANCE. the chart that comes up shows PHYSICAL MEMORY and how much is available. Contact a business that sells/services computers for guidance or research it on the internet.

    Click on this link and clean out your browser cache. This is one of the main reasons for a slow computer...blank screens, etc
