Why can't I forward or compose a new email?why does it take several tries to login?

yahoo mail is awful at the moment, I can't send emails or even forward others. I can't add contacts... rubbish rubbish rubbish

Why can't I forward or compose a new email?why does it take several tries to login?
If you are with Virgin media then follow these instructions and you will be able to access your mail again =)


In Internet Explorer


Choose Tools %26gt; Internet Options %26gt; Connections


Under Dial-Up and Virtual Private Network Settings,if there is an entry in there select it and choose the Settings button


If not then choose the LAN Settings button instead


Now clickto add a tick to the box which says Use a proxy server for this connection OR Use a proxy server for your LAN or something similar.


In the Address: box type - webcache.virginmedia.com


In the Port: box type 8080


Click OK and OK again and restart Internet Explorer





You might also need to change back to Yahoo! Classic, when you can get in to do it, that is.Underneath your e-mail address just click on the mail classic option,it will ask you to confirm that you want to go back to using the old style version,just click yes





You can access it instantly via this link http://uk.m.yahoo.com/p/mail


but the above will solve the problem permanantly =)
