Why is mail so slow?

Why is the new 2011 Yahoo mail so slow?

• Why is my yahoo mail so slow? The same e-mail sent to both my g-mail and yahoo mail accounts shows up immediately in my g-mail but sometimes takes over 12 hours to show up in my yahoo account It is disrupting my business because I depend on rapid client response for orders. I would like to stay with my Yahoo mail which I have used for over 15 years, but I'm going to dump it if I don't learn how to fix this problem!

• Answer:

  If you're using the "New Improved" Y mail switch back to Classic for the time being until Yahoo can get this mess fixed with the "New" mail. Most of the problems people are having is BECAUSE of the "New" Y Mail. The New "Improved'' (sic) Mail is Unstable & There's Several Solutions To go back to Y Classic Mail. There are literally Thousands & Thousands of users complaining they can't use their mail properly. At Least One of These Solutions will work either Permanently or Temporally to get You in Your Mail so you can Manage it for now. It's a lot of words but some folks are PC illiterate & I don't Know What Group You're in. As of May 31st, you can no longer switch back & return to the Classic version. If your previous version was the "New Mail", then you MAY be stuck with it & you can't get it back Permanently. Please continue reading Solutions for You: **PERMANENT SOLUTION** (ONLY if you have NOT "upgraded" Yet) To get back to the Classic version you'll have to lower the resolution on your PC to the point where it won't support the Beta version. To do this Right click on a blank space on your desktop & choose "Properties". Select the "Settings" tab. Move the slider that says "Screen resolution" all the way to the left (or Below 1024 by 768 pixels) Click OK. You may have to restart your PC (depending on your settings) Note: I'm still running XP & am not sure if this works in Windows 7 - Some say it doesn't After rebooting or logging into your Y mail account like normal, while in this new low screen resolution, you'll be asked to switch to the new mail. Do so & click OK or upgrade (don't worry). When you're in the new mail you'll brought to a page that tells you the resolution is to low. It'll give you a few choices. Choose the "last one" which will say something like 'go back to the previous version you were using'. Click that & you'll be brought to your old classic mail. Now you can change your screen resolution like it was before. This should be permanent - not just a one time fix (or until Y mail fixes/forces this too upon us & hopefully that's many months away) **TEMP SOLUTIONS** (If you HAVE already "Upgraded" to the new Yahoo mail) You can use these two links though it's only a temp fix & you'll have to use them every time to access the Classic version. Put them in your bookmarks or favorites for easy access. (All the links do the same thing) http://us.mc598.mail.yahoo.com/mc/launch or http://us.mc598.mail.yahoo.com/mc/welcome or http://mrd.mail.yahoo.com/switchclassic If the links don't work & open up Y Original Classic Mail then copy/paste the address in a new window or tab & press enter. ************************************** ************************************** ************************************** Hope this helps Please come back & give SOMEONE a best answer (if one of the answers work for you) because some of these answers take a lot of time & work & research on our part.
