Why would Yahoo be timing out when I try and open mail?

Why when i try to open my yahoo mail, will it not connect to my mail document?

• I have this problem on one of my computers, but not the other. It happens whether I go directly to Yahoo mail, or whether I jump from Yahoo messenger to Yahoo mail. It shows that I have mail, but the mail documents will not open.

  They might have to be decoded. This is different on each PC. == In the new Yahoo! Mail, you don’t do this with your browser anymore. Now, just change your character encoding setting right in Yahoo! Mail! Here’s how: In the toolbar, click More Actions and select Set Encodings. From the list that appears, select the encoding that matches the message’s content. Note: Only one character encoding set may be viewed at a time. And in this case, changing your browser’s encoding setting will not work. Or in the old Traditional = Select any email where the header information is displayed, but there is nothing in the "body" of the message where you would expect to find text, etc. Move your mouse to the area of the expected "body" of the message and right-click...on the menu that appears, click on "Encoding"...on the menu that appears, if "Auto Select" has a check mark, leave it as is...if not click "Auto Select"; then this menu will disappear...right click again in the "body" to cause the same menu to display again...then click on "Western European (Windows)"...you should now be able to view the "body" of all messages that you couldn't view before...obviously, if the problem somehow occurs again, do the same procedure described above again. I have no idea how or why these settings get "changed" or "corrupted" after everyday use, but apparently they sometimes do.
