Anybody using Yahoo Mail ?
-
I have been historically using Yahoo mail as my mail private address, and I must say I was very satisfied with pretty much everything about it : a lot of useful features, simple UI, more storage than I will ever be needing, etc... And they changed everything. For bad.[^]. I hope Leslie did not tell you already-- but I suspect most of you to use Google or Outlook anyway. They pretty much ruined it overnight. They removed all the neat features, tried to "guess" what users would like, and did not even beta-test it. There are a few hacks to bring back the old design, but this will not be available for long. I would really hate to change my eMail provider after 13+ years, but I see no other option for the moment, What a bunch of clowns. :mad:

Yeah - you'd think they were owned by Microsoft with behaviour like that...
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger. English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

I have a live account (as in blahblah @ Live.co.uk) But I also run my own personal server and have a couple of emails that I run off personal domains. I keep one of them as a dumping ground. Very useful thing to do. However the live account is the one I give out the most as it is the most historic. Plus I have it already set up on every device.

I think someone was moaning about it on here over the weekend. I've never used any of those big free email accounts, initially used one from whoever my ISP was, but as I started to change got one from a mate who owns a domain this is interesting (to me). Slowly migrating over to my own domain, mostly use Thunderbird or phone email clients to access the mail, very rarely use the web interfaces.

I have never found one that was merely usable ( on Android ).

Simple reading and replying when necessary. Much less cluttered than trying to use a webclient on a phone.

The Yahoo mobile webclient is very good. The Yahoo application is simply awful, and if you do not use it, you have to dismiss the popup asking for its installation every freaking time. X|

I have used yahoo mail since it had a 10mb storage and I must agree with you... The first time I accessed it after the last changes was quite disappointing.

If you look at the feedback page (last link on the left menu), the top 10 suggestions are about bringing back the older design/functions that are omitted. In the past, every Yahoo mail re-design will introduce more bugs, and slower performance. At-least this one feels faster and so far, it works just fine. But I do miss tabs and direct folders list.

I also have a yahoo address. However that address is like 15 years old... So it's the email where most of my accounts have been registered to. I have however begun moving most of those more important thing to google over the past few years and are currently using the yahoo-adress as a spam sink. But, I'm also not very fond of the Gmail Design. Writing an E-mail in that small little window on the bottom right corner is just bulls**t... Especially because my browser window is to the right of my.. When writing an e-mail in gmail I would have to turn my head even more so. At least personally I'm not sending that many e-mails. I'ts mostly receiving them and for that my phone is often sufficient for that.

I've stopped using the Yahoo Web UI a long long time ago, basically when my account started to get attacked almost weekly, and I always had to go through all that crappy process of unlocking (seriously, I think Yahoo has the least user-friendly account unlocking process of all free email providers). Have you ever tried recovering from a tablet or phone? It's nigh-on impossible. So, I deleted any sensitive information I might have stored there, changed the password to a 40-something chars, and left it like that. Last time I checked, I had some 4500(!!!) unread emails, most of which I suspect was spam. And about Google, I'm not a fan of their Web UI either, but as I have multiple accounts, I always keep them in Thunderbird, which I simply adore. Simple, clean, and does its job without much of a fuss, just what I need.
