Hey all,

I use Yahoo email as my primary email service and it has been flawless (for me) for years. Recently I have had problems getting my email at home ... at work it's only slightly better(?).

I tried to get to my email again today and cannot even get to the welcome page. All I get is "waiting for us.f501.mail.yahoo.com".

Any ideas? Is Yahoo going down the crapper?

I have at least 2 "pay" email accounts but I prefer Yahoo email becasue it's portable and I am used to it. Thanks for any (helpful) advice you can give.

Yahoo mail is hit or miss with me. Sometimes it takes forever to load, other times it works fine. My sister has the same problem and we are in two different States and ISPs.

It's getting worse everyday. Up to nearly 200 spams an hour now.

Just checked mine before coming here. It was quite slow to load, but it eventually loaded.

GMail hasn't been much better. I'm averaging 100 spams a day, and my e-mail address isn't listed online anywhere as far as I can tell.
