Once or twice I don't mind, but all the time for about 2 weeks.....!!!!??????

Is it any coincidence that it's happened when they've upgraded most people's inboxes to the 250mb (or if on Plus, 2gb) ?

I just hit refresh - it works fine thereafter. However i have only had it happen once or twice, but more so lately.

Refresh? I wish. I'm currently "waiting a few minutes before trying again". AGAIN

Sometimes it takes you to a specific page www.somehomtmailadress.com/busy.html (or something likt that), so hitting refresh would just keep showing you that page. I understand what you mean though, and I do hit the old F5 most times. still annoying tho!

I got the message a couple of times but, after hitting the 'refresh' button it worked fine.
