I was a my.yahoo.com portal fan for years. I thought they were pretty innovative. iGoogle came along and since I was such a heavy Google user, it became a good portal that had all my stuff in one easy to look up place. I definitely recommend people to check it out.

Good timing for bailing out of myway.com.

Over the last week or so my incoming email delivery has suddenly slowed to .......... almost nothing. What little gets through has been spooled for hours, indicating severe problems. Moreover, emails to support are bounced or timed out (indicating full inbox or other inattention).

I wouldn’t be surprised if they fold up real soon.

Hi Mike - I have only used MyWay.com email as a backup, and not much as that.

Allow me to suggest registering your own domain name for mail and setup forwarding to MyWay.com, or elsewhere, so you retain control of your email.  Search The Hot Iron on Domain Names as I have written quite a bit on it.

Good luck…

Have used my.myway.com for a few years and now am going to switch to something else for a home page.  My-way has lost my sports teams and the market report is non-existant.  The Weather for various cities was stuck on the same temps for a month.  There is noone or place to click on to report this.

Hi Ted - I, and others, share your pain.  It looks like MyWay.com has slipped in priority in the “mighty” Barry Diller empire.

I am 73 years old.
Here is a copy of what I sent to my son.

From: “Mark Brown” (email address edited)
Subject: Scream, yell, rant, rave…..

I knew it would happen.  MYWAY decided to upgrade to new and exciting features.  It is now completely unusable AND they completely lost all of my contact e-mail addresses !!!!!
SOOOOO…
Please supply:
Your best e-mail address or addresses.

Thanks
Note my Yahoo address
I tried to set up GMAIL but after half an hour and getting their thumbs up, I was unable to log onto it.  It would seem there is a crying need for “Senior EMail”.  Scream, yell, rant, rave…..

Your disabled Dad.

If you would like to check out the new MYWAY try (email address edited)  (password is (password edited)).  Most times it just times out.  When it works, it’s unusable.

About two or three weeks ago, myway announced it was upgrading its email service.

There have been no subsequent status announcements, but I’ve had the same problems others here have had.

I’ve used myway.com, with very few problems, for several years. But i run a very popular blog and must have a reliable email service.

I’m going to give them a few more days, but if it doesn’t straighten out soon, I’ll get my way elsewhere, I’m sure.

@Mark - I am sorry to hear you are having these problems.  You may want to move on now before you are stuck without reliable service.

@ddjango - You are generous to give MyWay.com more time, but for you too it is probably time to move on…

MyWay.com is a very good site. The site directories it describes also very useful. But you described a lot of other features and it sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing your views.
