Hi and thanks for the replies.

Zorah, have you tried a different browser? I'm using Firefox2 and there's no problem with accessing the site. But when I tried it with Internet Explorer it was painfully slow and I had to try three times before I could sign up for an account.

Thanks for the info, Perna but it's not available here anyway. My Internet provider's offer actually includes unlimited number of mail accounts and web hosting too as long as they aren't bigger than 50MB but I don't use them and prefer to stick with the free ones.

It happened with several different people. Sometimes I have to send the message two times until it gets through. I don't have this problem with gmail (and I use it even more often) so I think I'll switch to this one. I also have aol but it's soooo slow and I practically don't use it.

Yeah, it's a good idea, it never occurred to me to email myself . I'll try that, thanks.

Silver_queen, due to various reasons I don't think they say this to annoy me. I know them well and it's really not likely. If the messages I send to myself won't get through I'll consider informing Yahoo about it but I don't think they will care much since it's a FREE account so there's no guarantee. I think I'm going to switch to something else anyway. I prefer to be sure people receive what I send to them. And BTW I love your avatar!

Thanks for the suggestions!
