Yahoo mail my emails are taking a very long time to arrive...?

No answer for you but I have been having the same problem for over a week. It doesn't matter if I use my macbook, my work PC, my work blackberry or my iphone. Most of my emails are taking between 5-24 hours for delivery or for me to receive them. Tried to contact yahoo but no luck. Never had this issue before.

I noticed this too. I sent an email to another address I rarely use, 20 mins later still nothing. There was something on the news today about slow emails in southern kansas. I don't know if it's related. It was a brief report. It slowed down enough that people noticed. Sounded like it was a regional thing, which sounds weird.

Same problem here...seems to come and go but it's always the one I'm waiting for that takes forever

Yahoo is a crap.. Gmail is wayyyyyyyyyyy better. That's why I love to use Gmail rather than Yahoomail.

Very Basic way to Search, Read, and Compose your emails etc http://m.yahoo.com/p/mail

Double click on Message to read Email Message, Double Click on INBOX logo to see Folders etc. Double Click on Pencil in Top Right hand corner to Compose Message.

To Contact Yahoo by Email, this can be done by clicking on HELP at the Bottom Right Hand side of the Yahoo Home Page under Horoscopes.

Click on whatever Subject is best for you for more information, you can also Click on the Arrows for more options, or Type your Problem in the Search Help box. TYPE SECURITY QUESTIONS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE UP TO DATE.

For more Help and advice you can also Go to the Right hand side of page and click on CONTACT CUSTOMER CARE .

Click on Select a Product, CLICK YAHOO MAIL, Then select a Category or Version, page will reload for you to click on Sub Category.

Make sure you fill in Brief Details of what has Happened, click Enter.

Depending on the Category you select and the Sub Category you also select you may see at the Bottom of the Page for more help Click on EMAIL A SUPPORT AGENT. You may have to click on different ones and try variations.

Or else there will be information there on the page to help with your problem.

There will then be a Form to fill in. Fill in the form with as much information as you can remember about your security details and your yahoo account etc.

Yahoo will then contact you at a Different Email Address that you need to give them. This email address CANNOT be a yahoo email one.

You need to give them a different Email Address, it could be one that you already have or you will need to create a new one, Google, Hotmail, etc. You do this by clicking on Email and then click on Register and follow the instructions.

They only need this Different Email Address to give you instructions regarding your yahoo account.

When Yahoo send you an email, make sure you check the Trash and Spam folders as well as the Inbox in case it went in there instead.

You will be asked to create a New Password, Best a hard to Guess One for anyone trying to access your Yahoo Account.

I Would Also Strongly advise that you register an alternative email address and your Mobile Number/Cell Phone Number with Yahoo, that is done through Account Settings. (I Think).

That way if your account is ever hacked or similar, a message should come up and they can send a code to your phone or other email address for you to then unlock your Yahoo Email Account.

Good Luck
