Yahoo is driving me MAD. All night it has ben messing abut with my E mails either freezing when I hit the "send" button or telling me that there is a fault and that they are working on it. Grrrr. Does anyone know of a good, reliable E mail host other than GMail that I might consider moving to as a backup please.

I do use Classic Bombshell. It's when I try to send E mails that it all gets difficult! Love you too.

I haven't really been on much today honey so I hadn't noticed any problems! I have been using windows live and that seems quite good so far - perhaps you could try them? xxxx

Yeah it is sometimes enough it make you get gray hairs..lol Or so for me..I know of another mail that you can use it is called Myway mail. I had an account with them before. I kept forgetting to sing in to check my mail though ..you know me a one track mind. Well, here is a link to at least check out. http://www.myway.com/ hope you find something that works for you.

Hi p1, I am sorry to hear about that..My yahoo is working good so far. How about hotmail? I have tried that before but it was 3 years ago!

I have a Hotmail account. I might have a look at it again. Thanks Checapricorn.

I have nothing against Gmail LadyM. Except that I use it as a specific account and don't want to clutter it with more general stuff.

I've had my hotmail account for about 10 years now without any of the problems yahoo seems to have. Might I ask what you have against gmail???

I have used a site called mail.com in the past. It allows you to add your own suffix. For example kbourgerie@yours.com. Despite how many different emails I have used though, I always come back to yahoo. Who knows why.

Yahoo drives me nuts. It does that to me quite often. GMail is a great second choice. I have e-mail accounts with both Yahoo and GMail, and I use them both about the same. When one screws up, I use the other.

Hi p1ke..well I will tell you one you should not really think of and that is windows live hotmail...it gives me a lot of trouble at times yet I have never had a problem with Yahoo...that is my advice but maybe someone else more computer literate will be able to advise you about this problem...hugs LoLo

Thanks LoLo. Yahoo is usually OK but tonight it is driving me mad! I do have a Hotmail account but I've never used it.

I use mail.com and like it a lot. Every so often, maybe once a month, I get a message that their server is busy but it only last a few seconds.
@p1kef1sh (45681)

I don't know that one. Perhaps I should have a look. Thank you.

Hey p1key! I also have that same problem alot with Yahoo emails! It constantly freezes or tells me the same thing that there is a problem and they are working on it! I use it mostly for mylot emails so it sure is a pain in the butt! I use AOL for my other personal stuff so I also don't know where else to try either! It is very frustrating because almost every day there is a problem with Yahoo!
@p1kef1sh (45681)

It freezes mostly when I send E mails Opal. Although this morning it seems to be working fine. Typical! LOL.

Hi there p1kef1sh I use yahoo and I can't say that I am experiencing any or the problems you are! I also use msn hotmail and I get little problems with them too! Good luck in you search

Thanks Humbug. I have both of those, but Yahoo is being very naughty!
