When I use Yahoo email. It is extremely slow.
I can type a sentense and wait 5-6 seconds to appear and then sometimes the words have missing letters and no spaces.
Any help

Hello there, welcome to the Community!
 
I also use Yahoo, and I do not have the issue.  My best guess is that the problem is something on your computer either driving CPU and RAM usage too high, or just too many windows/tabs open at one time for your computer.
 
Have you canned with WSA?  Did it show any results?  Do you get a lot of ad pop-ups when on the internet, or even when you are not currently using your browser?

Hi ?
 
Welcome.
 
Just wanted to add to what ? has already posted.
 
I was having this problem on an older netbook that I have. For me, it was the fact that my hard drive was running out of space. You should ideally have 20% of your hard drive capacity free (10% at the VERY least) for Windows to function properly.
 
Just my two cents.
 
Hope you get things sped up,

?'s comments reminded me of my own situation in the past.  On my old laptop I had major issue such as this when using Chrome as my browser, but I did NOT have the issue if I used Firefox or IE.  Chrome can be quite a memory hog, and it can slow older computers that are a bit low on RAM down a lot depending on how many other processes are running.

My ISP uses Yahoo for it's email service and I have setup to use in Office Outlook 2016 so I don't see those issues.
