[Discuss] OT - Mail Server Speeds

[epp at mcom.com]

Is it possible for a service provider to slow down the response times
from their servers?

When connecting to either Yahoo's or AOL's IMAP servers, the response
time has been extremely slow as of late. SMTP has been fine.

Yahoo now has oversight of the AOL Mail service and they may be located
in California now.

In comparison, speeds to and from other providers' servers, have been
fine.

Thanks in advance.
