Dave, have you tried cleaning the cache and history? If not, click on the "Tools" tab at the top of your browser (Explorer), click on "internet Options" in the drop-down menu, then delete cookies, delete files (including offline content), delete history. Try Yahoo mail again. Also, it may help to try a different browser. For example, download Netscape and that may not have the same problem. If you are using AOL, my suggestion is to switch to Explorer once you are logged in. Finally, if your computer is always on, give it a reboot. That also cleans up junk that has accumulated.
