I'd say there's a good chance that the fault is in your browser/OS. What browser are you using and under what OS ?

If you are using Win98, Win98SE or WinME, almost certainly it is your browser/OS running out of resources.

If you are using Netscape, you are probably experiencing memory leak issues.

Try another browser, and if you are using Win98, Win98SE or WinME, try Win2000 or WinXP.

The OS is XP (that was fun, I can spell it all)
And the brouser is netscape, but I can't use explorer because some nimwit looked up somthing and the brouser got hijacked)

Well if you're running WinXP without a functioning IE, you're going to have problems right there because many important functions require a working IE, like Windows Update.

How much memory do you have ? And free disk space ? If you don't have at least 256Mb memory and 1Gb free disk space, I would suggest you fix those things.

Which Netscape are you using ? 4.X ? 7.X ? If it is 4.X, definitely ditch that dog. It is very non-compliant with modern web standards.

And then fix IE and try that instead of Netscape, which has serious memory leak/garbage collection problems. On my machine, Netscape can easily grow to a 300Mb image and cause me to have to kill it and restart it again. If you are repetitively emailing off the website and it uses certain funky browser features, you may be experiencing a similar Netscape memory allocation flaw (I haven't studied the programming of the Sprint email website enough to hazard a better guess if it is using features that are demanding).

Have you tried mail.yahoo.com for example and seen the same (or not) behavior after many emails ? The Sprint email website isn't very sophisticated anyways, perhaps you should switch to Yahoo Mail or Hotmail.

can't do updates this is the church computer and downloads are a no no. Netscape works fine. IE just keeps brining up pop ups so fast you can't load the page. It goes click click click witch is fun for the first 2 hours but then gets kinda boaring.
