Uhm its not the plane thats trying to send the email.\n\nIts the server. It depends on the server.

It's because your email has alot of activity. It's a security thing. Sometimes it's just checking your capabilities or trying to minimize spam. who knows? Have you asked Yahoo?

there are two things i think, 1)too much junk mail is floating around on the internet overcrowding servers, or 2)a lot of people misspell email addrs.

Please give more details. Are you using a web interface, an email client? What email service are you using? What OS you have? etc.

YOu'll get them in a couple of weeks. Yahoo is now developing the new beta (which you could try if you want), and therefore problems will sure appear. I had the same problem. For example last week I received an e-mail dated from november 2005.

That means you have the capacity of getting 20 megs of emails stored in your inbox.....you cant send a 10 meg file.\n\nTell that person to zip or compress the file before sending and try again.

Email is not the fastest thing in existence. Most likely you just need to wait for your friends to receive your mail.

is this while you are composing an email (writing it yourself)\n\nif it is, then retreiving lost messeages can sometimes be possible, and other times, maybe not! it depends how long you have spent on a page really- if you have spent tooo long on writing a message, then the page (web browser will time-out).\n\njust try hitting the back button really. if there no luck, then in future try making a copy of the emailing before sending it, or compose it in a text editor on your PC before submitting it on your email website.

1] your email attachment is more [heavy] than required kb that can be handled by the email account.\n\n2] the net connection might be slow

Maybe I misunderstood the question - Between 1 yahoo e-mail and another yahoo e-mail ? Instantaneous.\n\nIf you're sending it to a different  e-mail provider, it depends.

Your email account may not be set up correctly. Go to tools/ accounts and double click the account you are having problems with and check the server setting POP3 and SMTP. Check with your service provider sometimes they make changes without notifying their customers. Or the server may be down for maintenance or just plain busy.\nKeep trying, but call your ISP if you continue having problems.\nGood luck.

Usually there can be a problem with the email service provider itself. I once had this problem with rediffmail. I sent an email to feedback section which automatically directed me to the customer care.It was resolved in 2 days, I think.They admitted it was their problem.

Well if you are not geting the email after a few hours try emailing youtube.  Sometimes when you sign up for new things it takes time to go through.......Why do you have to send and email to yourself??

Check your bulk/junk/spam box, sometimes emails get redirected. Send an email yourself asking if they have sent you one yet, they may not have.
