I have been using Yahoo Mail and Mozilla for quite a while w/o any issues. About a week ago I started having a major issue trying to sign into my yahoo mail. It takes forever and if it connects w/o timing out anything else I do in mail has the same issue. If I go to sent box or inbox it will say 'loading email" and this can last and then "there appears to be a problem loading the message list, RETRY".

I would really appreciate support.

I am very frustrated as I am unable to use my Yahoo Mail Account the way I had been for the last 6 years.
