OK, so i have 2 yahoo mail accounts. 1 of them i rarely check, the other one i use for business. Neither of them are the "Plus" accounts, as they are free.

I have noticed over the last 8 months or so an increasing of issues, however, and am curious if anyone else knows anything about it.

Often i will send an email that never is delivered, or is delivered several days later. This creates a problem as i use email to communicate time sensitive stuff. As well, missing emails that i send can cost my company several thousand dollars in missed business or late fees.

I have almost gotten used to this (even though it annoys me greatly). But today was the worst. I sent an email to my boss outlining a cost on a bill that we need to get paid out. I was detailing the different payment options that we could use. But when he recieved the email, the body of the mail was not what i had typed. It was a Craigslist fraud warning notice. Yahoo sent my email but substituted the body of this craigslist notice in place of what i had typed.

My two questions:

1 anyone know anything about this type of stuff?

2. if i pay for the $20 a year "plus" account, will the problem go away?

Changing my email address would require me to change routing instructions for invoicing with 20 or so vendors, plus i would have to contact 100 clients with the update, as well as local city and business leaders (not to mention having to reprint all my business cards).

Anyone?
