    I am only getting email updates once an hour...precisely at 7 minutes after the hour.
    Is it yahoo, or my computer. (mac mini) help?

    There was a Washington Post article this morning on how orbiting UFOs are causing the world's data to be transmitted in intermittent, 7-minutes-after-the-hour bursts.

    I encourage you to do your own research, the truth is out there.

    ...

    Srsly, sounds like the yahoo! server is just having issues. They might be doing tech support on it right now. I'm sure that type of sporadic-timing thing won't last long if it's Yahoo! e-mail.

    I've placed various online orders this morning and have had no issues receiving confirmation emails in my yahoo account.

    I would be more concerned if it was precisely 23 minutes past the hour.


    I'm in the same boat as drippy, Yahoo's been fine for me all morning.

    Are you using the Beta? I've had issues with it in the past, I just revert to the Classic format for a coupla days, then come back and the problems have usually resolved themselves.

    No way.

    I've been using GMail since the beta came out, and I've never had a problem.

    I've got KA's back on this with a caveat--I'm betting it's buggier overseas. It was a pain in the ass in Iraq, and I've heard the same thing about Korea, while it's worked fine for me in the States.

    Even worse, both "yahoo" and "e-mail" have 5 letters each, and we all know that 5 is just 2 + 3 ...
