| Is anyone else experiencing this? For the past few weeks, most emails I send to a friend on MSN take from one to three hours to be delivered, although emails sent from MSN arrive in a matter of seconds or minutes. As far as I can tell, emails I send/receive to/from all other domains don't have this issue. |

It doesn't surprise me. MSN is run by Microsoft, the biggest target for all of the spams and viruses in the world. I'm sure that they get millions of junk mail pieces every day, and all of that crap goes into the queue for processing along with the legitimate email.
Add to that the burdon of their Groups and Instant Messaging service, and it's a wonder they're able to process anything at all.

That matches what we have surmised. We tried her Verizon account with the same problems, then noticed that Verizon brags about all their MSN connections.   |
