Is Yahoo retarded?

Am I the only person who has problems connecting to Yahoo to check my other mailbox? I can connect to Yahoo Mrssenger fine but the mailbox often eludes me. Maybe it doesn't like my iMax OSX or maybe because I connect via Internet Exploder instead of Safari.

Ideas, suggestions, nags, insults all greatfully tolerated

Yahoo is changing thier service again to try and keep up with AOL's and MSN's services. As usual they are doing a half ass job of it. If my extended family out in the midwest would only drop Yahoo I would bid Yahoo a fare thee well.

In my humble non-PC opinion, we should ask the famous DR. Kristoff to perform a rectaL lobectomy on Yahoo and insert a "garden hose" with reverse flow capabilities.

That way, at least, Yahoo could be pissed at us instead of the other way around

Besides, I know for a fact, Dr. Kristoff has had personal experience with garden hoses.

But I flunked surgery. That's why I became a psychologist instead - it was safer than knife play....

A yahoo is 1. "any low vicious person 2. an awkward fellow; a bumpkin." These meanings all come from Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels in which the Yahoos are a race of brutish beings in human form who are ruled over by the Houyhnhnms, a race of intelligent civilised horses.

If an ISP chooses to be named after such beings, what can one expect of them ? My own dealings with them have indicated that they chose their name appropriately.

I cant stand Yahoo, they have screwed me over far to many times. Eventually everyone gets screwed by Yahoo.

Go to Google and get a free gmail account.

I have no reason to defend Yahoo but was puzzled by the above comments, since I have never had any problems with my Yahoo second e-mail address. I use it for two reasons: (a) when on a computer other than my own since I assume that computers in public sites receive minimal to no malware cleaning and I don't want my primary e-mail, address, which is on Internet Outlook, to be deluged with spam, and (b) when purchasing things on line from outfits I don't know, as they might sell customers' addresses, thus again leading to spam on my primary address. So far I do not have a spam problem with my Yahoo account (there filter seems pretty good, I get abouty two spam messages a day, which is pretty good for nowadays), but if I did I'd just walk away from it. Anyway I at least have never had any problem with Yahoo. Again, I have no brief for Yahooo, but given my good experience with my (admittedly limited -- e-mail only) use of it I thought it only fair to note that experience here.
