New Yahoo Mail

[kddani]

Woohoo for 100 megs, but damn is it slow and i'm getting errors loading a lot of pages. Hope they work the kinks out.

I found it slow at first, but now it is back to normal. I wish that I had known about this because yesterday I deleted a lot of e-mail. I kept getting notices that my mailbox was full. Now I am using only 3% of 100MB.

I KNOW! I'm so mad. I just deleted a bunch of stuff I would liked to have kept. Blah on Yahoo!

I've been having problems, too. Hopefully it'll speed up by the end of the day or something. I check my email at least 5 times a day, and waiting as long as I have been to get into my mailbox is a pain in the rear

I've considered switching to Yahoo. I just really don't like their layout. I'm on hotmail at the moment, however, their new layout is a pain in the butt as well.

What I find strange is how hotmail gets people to pay $19.95/year for what... 20MB or something equally pointless?

I wonder if they'll do anything to try to compete with the new Yahoo or GMail services.

On boston.com I saw that there is some international virus or something going around, so maybe that's why it's slow? I just got invited to get gmail yesterday (yay!) so I don't care about yahoo getting more room, it's still much smaller than google.

on a side note, anyone hear of web2mail.com?

I just got a look at the Yahoo mail. I was at first surprised over the extra space, but I love now! What used to be 20-30% of 6.0MB used is now 1% of 100.0MB. That is totally awesome!

after 5 years, i still love my yahoo mail

I love my yahoo mail, but am not happy since the upgrade. I can't delete anything from my inbox and can't dump my trash or bulk boxes. DS uses yahoo and he says that he's only been able to receive email since the change, he can't even get anything sent.

Hope it gets fully functional soon.

I hadn't heard of gmail before today.

I found out in the early hours when I logged into one account it was (omgwow !) 100mb... and one by one the other 6mb accounts later followed suit. They (Yahoo) do offer an upgrade for something like $15 a year to 1gb of space but after using 6mb for so long I probably won't even use the 100mb for a while. Strange, really.

I'll probably even delete one of my multiple old yahoo accounts that only get spam now.

From what I hear, the general consensus is that it was a reaction to Google Mail (gmail) that led to them increasing the inbox size. Co-signing on the fact I'd deleted stuff the day before because I just "didn't have enough room".

It hasn't been slow etc for me, I think they updated accounts to 100mb in tranches - e.g. my old rocketmail (bought out by Yahoo) was the first to update. I did have problems at the start though, but I think they're on top of things now like others said, above. *crosses fingers*

yeah for my yahoo 100 mgs of space

it was messy tuesday...but it's better today.
still a bit slow.

[Thrillhouse]

Its running pretty good for me today after a couple days of not working well. I'm glad for the extra space although I'm the type of person who deletes most e-mails right away.

I love all the extra space! I went from using around 80% of 6MB to 5% of 100MB. Now if only Hotmail would follow suit.
