I assume you are using Windows XP or higher. Just as you wait for the mail to load, check if the PC icon(near the sify broadband)are glimmering. If not, Yahoo servers are delaying the response.

BTW since Yahoo has a "sophisticated" inbox, they have to use lot of javascript and AJAX which need to be loaded before the mailbox(that you see) loads. Chances are that the delay you are speaking about is used to load those scripts in the background. While the scripts load, you won't see any activities. If this is really the cause behind the delay, then you will experience it only once at the start. The next mails would be displayed smoothly without much delay. Anyways, this delay cannot be avoided until you switch to the basic view(I am not sure if they provide one). Moreover since you have a 64kbps line, this is aggravating the delay.

activate and use pop3 access, on outlook express / other free email programs.
its fastest u can see ur mail after getting connected to internet.

outlook 2007 works like a smart guy, just enter email and password, and it does all.

U cant access Hotmail from available 3rd part Email clients like Thunderbird, Eudora etc. You have to download Windows Live Mail client from windows live website to have access to Hotmail account. It will also support other EMail providers.

Get Windows Live Mail from here : *get.live.com/wlmail/overview
