problems with yahoo mail

hi! I need help with yahoo mail. i'm an old lady so be nice to me!:)---------------- using yahoo email on my new computer is impossible! finally figured edge is not a supported browser so I open my email with ie (latest version/updated). problems remain... constant saving, buffering, stalling, as I type words don't appear or only part of them appear, have to start over all the time. a simple email to a friend takes forever to complete. is there something I can do? ty in advance!

Welcome to the forum !

The first answer you will receive here is that due to security issues many have chosen another email provider besides Yahoo. However, I have 2 Yahoo accts and have not encountered problems.

Does the issue only occur when typing emails ? Is there any problems when you type website addresses ?

- When using IE to access Yahoo and problems occur, refresh the page in hopes to eliminate buffering/stalling.

- Clear IE cache. (Internet Options/Delete)

- Using Edge browser, type yahoo.com in the address bar. Access your email by clicking on Mail at the top of the page.

- Also, after you click on Mail at the top of page, put your cursor on the Y at top of page and left click. You may then drag the Y to your taskbar for quick access to mail.

- You may want to download Firefox or Chrome to see if any difference.

Let us know if there is a difference.

thanks so much torre! I tried everything you said to do & still have the same problems. yes, I have problems typing into the search box, pulling up files, adding an emoticon/emoji, etc... almost all the functions stall & buffers excessively. I think I will have to either change my email provider or change browsers. ty in advance for any suggestions.
