I’ve been trying to check my mail for over half an hour and have yet to see a single message. It was like this Friday too.
It was a little better at home, but that computer’s so slow I usually don’t even try to use it there. Please help!

I’ve been having problems. My husband sometimes sends me an e-mail from downstairs, which usually takes a minute or five to traverse the various servers and land on my computer. For the last couple of days, it’s been taking half or whole days. I’m guessing they are having some sort of server issue.

I’ve gotten to the point where I can see the list of messages, but the page isn’t fully loaded and the messages cannot be opened. Grrrr……I need to see some of these!
Anyone know how I can contact them to complain that my free email service has become worth what I’m paying for it?

I’ve had some similar problems to the ones reported. The problems USUALLY go away in 10 minutes or so, though I did have one whole afternoon that I couldn’t access my mail.

My workplace is apparently having a server problem, so hopefully when that’s fixed it’ll all clear up. Thanks to all of you who answered!
