Yahoo can kiss my butt. I opted out of their "sponsored ad" program and still have them showing up constantly in my inbox. Removing them without deleting is not intuitive. There's a '$' symbol in place of the box you would check to delete. You can still use the 'check all' selection at the top to remove them, without reading. Sneaky lil #$%()#... ok ok not really a big deal, but when I tell them I've opted out, it'd be nice to be taken seriously.

As for this, I don't consider Yahoo! a serious player anymore. The account is vital to me however, as I do use it for one specific purpose... one forum and comments section I am very fond of hehe

I once used Yahoo mail as my primary email. Then I discovered if I didn't log in for 3 months, they deleted all my mails! Needless to say, I switch to Gmail very quickly. The latest is that Yahoo have made a decision to drop all "unused" email accounts to allow new people to register with those accounts again.

Well, what if I don't want my accounts that I haven't used for 2 years to be stolen? What if I had sensitive data still coming in? Emails are also used for a lot of account verification for a lot of services and websites, so where does all that security go? I don't care if I haven't accessed my mail account in 3 days, 6 months, or 13 years. I expect my old mails to still be there or I *WILL* go elsewhere.

I will never support Yahoo again. That company needs to die in a fire.

@Pherule
Every mail service provider does that. Google may delete your account if it remains inactive for 9 months: http://www.google.com/mail/help/intl/en/program_policies.html
They probably only do this if they need more space or someone else creates a new account under the same name, which explains why some people managed to log in even after several years of inactivity.

You may think you're entitled to keeping an account that's been inactive for up to 13 years, but the reality is different: if you don't pay for your account, don't expect that kind of premium service.
Sensitive mails? They can't be that sensitive, if they land on a free mail account that hasn't been visited for such an extended period of time.

Not that I care about Yahoo, but you seriously need to rethink your life.

So you cannot change the email address used for that forum?

Pherule, complaining about a free service he does even not use. Wow. Yahoo is fine. Almost every online service will boot you off after a certain length of time inactive.

I wish Yahoo would work on their content and website before spending money on something that is kinda silly. Fix their email, fix the website, have some actual content. Its not that difficult to understand, I would think.

 

[yay]

There were no features mentioned Google now doesn't have, let alone offline mode as well.

Good luck yahoo!
