Hi Turtle, Have you run something like Malwarbytes to check for viruses.
http://blog.malwarebytes.org/

How long has it been since you cleaned "caches" ran "disk" cleanup, defrager. Made sure you are updated if you are on Windows? Sometime this works, if not , the "tecki" guys here are great.!!! to suggest other stuff.

I am on a land line, very slow, miss out on a lot of stuff, but have no problems.

sometimes you are just stuck, the best you can try is talk to neighbours and see if anyone in the area has a better connection... cable is best if you can get it for sure.

Hi Doka, what type of address do you have now and what do you want to change it to? Like is your current email address with your internet provider? In answer to your question, no you don't have to lose everything if you do a migration before closing your old one. I can help you figure it out.

This is the basic method https://support.google.com/mail/answer/164640?hl=en. You will need the login to the old email. Google should in theory import all your old email. Let me know if you have trouble.
