Maybe your emails are stored on a very slow networked device whilst others have their emails stored on modestly faster devices?
It seems that direct access to the email servers isn't too awful, but the web connection to the email servers is frequently dire.

Yes I see what you are saying but some days it works fine and like now is dire so surely if it was my device it would be like it all the time not in random periods maybe I am being thick but still doesn't make sense to me.

I would very much suspect that it is related to the number of email items in your inbox - the bigger the content, the bigger the issues seen. Have you tried the old Squirrel mail interface?
In another browser tab, login into the Plusnet user portal BEFORE clicking the fault & ticket links

Due to the ongoing Plusnet email issues I started using Gmail to collect my old Freenetname email as advised by a Plusnet representative. However I've been receiving a lot of junk / virus alert messages recently so logged into my Plusnet webmail and discovered that my Spam folder is extremely full. I could turn off the system so Spam messages are instantly deleted but I'd be concerned something important may slip through so prefer to manually check.
I want to delete these messages but the system is slow and keeps timing out while trying to access the various folders. I can't even delete them in Squirrel mail, does anyone have any advice?

Use a PC based IMAP client and delete from there.

Something strange is going on.
This week, during the day, the service has been good. However, come early evening it's completely pants which is a reversal of what it normally is!
I really look forward to the day when I can say it is working great both day and night time and not just at the weekend!

I'm trying to empty / 'purge' the [TRASH] folder in Basic Webmail that currently has over 400 messages in there. Been getting the following message, see screenshot attached

Webmail is unusable for me again at the moment. Fine at 6.15 this morning. By lunchtime it's terrible. That's the norm now.

I know this may seem odd but using e mail is like driving a car I know how to drive but why the car is doing what it does is beyond me so when I say to you I have no idea what squirrel mail is don't think I am a complete idiot ij ust use these things but have no idea how they work or what is going on half the time. Also my mailbox doesn't have that many messages but I cant even access messages in my files which is very frustrating haven't been able to get on all evening. So I have two questions please 1 What is squirrel mail and 2 can I transfer the files currently in webmail folders to my computer so I can access them from my computer. Thanks in advance. PS if you want to know anything about quantum physics then that is not a problem.

Plusnet's help pages used to have guides on how to set up various email clients on your PC including the specific settings for accessing the Plusnet mail servers.
Webmail is a huge problem so Plusnet recommend using a client.
So now, when I go looking for the guides to post you a link I can't find them - all I've found are links to general guides on other sites.
I'd recommend you download Thunderbird and set it up to use IMAP: https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/thunderbird/
