cannot reply from yahoo account

Hey Kitty,

when I try to reply from my yahoo account (which is my first yahoo - I´m a hotmail user) the little "I´m working"-arrows go wild but nothing happens, until after minutes it times out. Do you have any idea why that is? I can open emails without a problem, but other than that I´m forced to remain passive. It is especially annoying since I´m in two classes and would like to participate actively.

Thank you for your help!

Andrea
