I Am Supposed To Have Mail Plus. I Have Had Mail Plus Over 10 Yrs. It Says To Go From Basic To Mail

“The post / mail comes later and later these days.” Has your post / mail delivery really got later in the day over the years, if so, why?

I have to say that, in my small city, the mail usually comes at about the same time each day. After reading some of the other answers to this question, I realize that this is a problem in many areas. Not many years ago, carriers spent nearly half of their day inside the Post Office, sorting their mail in delivery sequence. Nowadays, the processing plants can pre-sort the letter mail in delivery sequence, so the carriers don’t have to spend as much time inside the office. Of course, to pre-sort the mail for every town, it takes time at the plants. Therefore, mail does arrive later at the delivery Post Offices. So, the USPS has changed the start-times for the carriers to later in the morning. Plus, over time, they have adjusted the routes to make most of them longer because they figure if a carrier spends less time in the office, he/she can spend more time on the route. Some days, everything goes right--light mail volume, great weather, no carriers call-in sick, the mail from the plant arrives on time, etc.— and the mail is delivered early or on-time. But, on Mondays, or even worse, a Tuesday after a Monday holiday, mail volumes nearly double compared to a “perfect” day. So, on these days, the mail will surely be later. But very few days are perfect days, and any anomaly can delay a carrier. On a perfect day, working for the Post Office is enjoyable. The public is not aware of all the glitches that arise nearly every day, especially at (but not limited to) larger Post Offices. The entire process of moving the U. S. Mail (and the mail in all countries, I’m sure) from collection to delivery is relentless. The mail keeps coming every day. Just when you get the day’s mail delivered, it comes again tomorrow. The employees who bring us our mail are working diligently, despite the weather, the under-staffing, the broken-down trucks, and all the other obstacles that arise rather regularly. If they are later than you expect, at least you have some insight as to the reasons. During my 35 years in the USPS, some days I wondered how we ever got the mail delivered at all. But we did, and they still do. Let’s hope the mail continues its relentless flow!

Why is Yahoo Mail completely useless with Microsoft Windows 10?

I have a Yahoo email id, but it’s not my main email id. I have not experienced the problems you describe, and I have never paid Yahoo anything for using that email id.If I was you I would have dumped that Yahoo Mail a long time ago and moved on to any one of the many free email programs. You see, under the covers, the Yahoo mail system is a perfectly ordinary POP3 email account that you could operate either by web mail in your browser (less than perfect) or with an email program on your PC. I have Thunderbird, and it works well for me.To comment on other aspects of your question…I use a couple of other Yahoo systems, and I notice that they have deteriorated over the last few years. It is quite noticeable that Yahoo’s own systems are badly designed, badly written, unreliable, and that their employment policies they have driven away anyone good who ever worked for them. Everything there is crumbling, falling apart.

What do you think of people who change their email every few years?

There are pros and cons to both keeping the same email and changing it.  The longer one has an email address, generally speaking, the more spam they get.  So for that reason folks sometimes change email addresses.  OTOH, if you want to be readily "found" by people from the past that you do not keep track of, having the same email address you had 15 or 20 years ago is a plus.  I have one email address that I have had for ages, and several other email addresses that I do not keep for such a long time.
