  Your hotmail problem with server busy is one seen by all hotmail users.  
Adding
  to the yahoo problem, You can't see what is on screen when you hit backspace 
in
  a message, slow reaction to checking boxes on a win98 machine, They have to 
many
  links on a page with to much aweful javascript and the forward button doesn't
  work.

  The sign on screen comes in on Win2K machine but then I get server not found 
or
  server busy error. On WinXP machine even the sign on screen does not come on. 
I
  can use Hotmail through Outlook Express unlike Yahoo but due to this server
  problem am unable to get to mail. Is anyone experiencing similar problems?
