DELAYS in receiving emails!
About every other day, my incoming emails are delayed for HOURS! All day long, i'll check for emails...then in the evening, i'll receive 6+ and all h have time stamps from hours earlier that day! This is unacceptable. I see others post this comment/complaint...yet their complaint is noted as "complete" and you cant vote on it and escalate the issue any higher! TERRIBLE

I've been waiting 2 hours for an email that resets access to another account. It's awful, and it happens all the time. I had to have my employer resend the same email for a WEEK to get access to a program so I can be paid. It's truly awful and I'm going back to gmail.

This issue has been going on for some time... I run a business and it is becoming unacceptable... I will have to switch email servers if you dont correct this issue...
The problem is I get emails send to my account everyday.. I have one from Baltimore Co. that comes in at 8am every morning... today is a perfect example, I know one of my customers emailed me also around 8:30... it is NOW 11:38am... my last listed email is from 6:35am... I know that within an hour or so, Yahoo will send me every email at once for the last 4-6 hrs and will back date all the times to make it look like i received them at the proper time.. sometimes i get 4 at once, sometimes its 12 at once... This has got to be corrected!!!! I need to get emails when they are sent, asap!! at the correct times....

Mail sent 8-28 did not arrive until 8-31, and THEN it was sent to SPAM.
I check Spam every day, so I know these old emails were not in the Inbox OR in Spam on 8-28, 8-29, or 8-30. This is REALLY BAD SERVICE! Worse than I have ever seen before! -

This same problem is a pox upon the Yahoo Group, the Bettie Scouts of America. Attempted posts to the group are met with server error reactions like this: << Unable to deliver message after multiple retries, giving up. >> Something is very wrong on Yahoo's end that needs to be fixed for this group -- PRONTO!

Speed up incoming emails! I have waited for hours or even all day for emails to come through that I know have been sent. It is very delayed and very inconvenient! Later in the evening the email will pop up saying it was sent 6h ago! Have better syncing or do something to keep up. Only reason I haven't switched yet is because yahoo use to never be like this and I have been using yahoo for over 10 years. If it continues I will be closing my account and use a different account elsewhere permanently. Becoming very disappointed.

Make sure that messages are actually delivered when I send them . . . I get a lot of complaints from addressees that my messages do not arrive or arrive only after several hours. What is the reason for this? It is really annoying when I need something quickly!!!

GET THIS FIXED!!! This has been posted multiple times over many months and nothing is being done. How is this difficult. If this is not fixed soon, I suggest that people delete their accounts and go to another provider.

Unfortunately this seems to be a recurring problem, that there are SIGNIFICANT delays in mail receipt. When this first started happening I thought it was the other sites, but I have realized that is not the case. For example, I submitted something on a site that generates an immediate email with information I need to continue...only, several minutes later I still have not received the content. Sometimes things are arriving hours after the fact. I am now afraid to use yahoo as my confirmation email for bookings.
Unfortunately, it seems like the people who post about delays in receipt of mail - that those get listed as "resolved" so they can no longer be voted for. Does not seem to be resolved. This never use to happen.

Isn't there any way you can make Mail faster? It never used to lag like this. I spend so much time just sitting there, waiting for it to respond. I mean, we have broadband connections now—why should something as basic as text and a few graphics take so long?

Delivery Delay. I check my mailbox thru the day and there is nothing there. Then in the evening a number of emails always show up that were sent during the day as I can see the time they were sent. Very inconvenient especially if it is important. I'm very frustrated with it.
