    I have a spare AOL diskette I could send you.. Get your own domain name and filter the email through Gmail.

    If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

    I have a stack of over 100 of them that I have been planning on using for shotgun targets or a mobile or something. Still trying to think of a creative use for them...

      As Yahoo Mail subscribers probably know by now, Yahoo has started abusing its Mail subscribers by putting up modal dialogs that hinder its use. So I am looking to change over to another provider, and I'd like to have a number of accounts (e.g., one for only personal E-mails, one for business, one for stupid subscriptions, etc.), so I'd like to get a provider that makes it easy to switch over from one to the other. I have multiple Yahoo accounts now, but I accommodate it by having the different accounts logged in via different browsers. I suppose Google is the default choice, but I am but concerned with privacy there.

      If you MS-Outlook you can install multiple mailboxes in one instance. I currently have three - one business and two individual. The two individual are both free.

        You may all want to look at ProtonMail.... Just wanted to add: Subject lines in ProtonMail messages are not end-to-end encrypted, however Your message content and attachments are end to end encrypted....

          Heck, even AOL still exists! And all I remember them as was as a massive supplier of unwanted CD's ... :laugh:

          Before CDs, AOL had 1, then 2, then 3 diskettes(1.44MB). We repurposed hundreds of these diskettes to ship our products. Put a new label over the old label, xcopy, ship! Youngsters now a days don't know why the ZIP programs have the "span" option.

              I have almost twenty Yahoo email accounts (plus five gmail and two from my home network operator) but haven't noticed any dialogs. I have been using Thunderbird for more than ten years to read the emails using IMAP. I don't even remember the look of Yahoo's login page ;P It would be unfeasible to open so many email accounts one by one in a browser. The down side is that, some times I get stupid login errors saying that the login was refused by Yahoo but that usually clears within a minute or two and Thunderbird autologins without a problem. I guess that those failed logins are a way of Yahoo to tell me to read advertising! Privacy wise, I think most of them are all the same, as in, they will be able to read your email. Even if you use an email provider that has encryption, the person you send the email to, also has to have encryption support, either by the provider or by third party (like PGP plugin for Thunderbird) otherwise your email has to be sent in clear text and can be read by the receiving provider. I have PGP setup in my main account but none of my contacts has encryption so all emails I send them have to go unencrypted otherwise they won't be able to read them. For subscriptions/shopping sites I use use Yahoo's alias addresses (or whatever they call it). They look like ordinary email addresses but are just an alias for your real email address. They can be easily created and removed.

                I use Mozilla Thunderbird as a mail client to google mail. I don't see modal dialogs. Maybe the path to success is to not use the web-based mail client.

                      Yahoo has become unbearable years ago. And if you were using Yahoo up to this time, there is no point in being concerned about privacy by using GMail. And first and foremost, I would recommend to let go of that nonsense and insist on using a web browser for email, that is what real email clients are intended for...

                          Answer: Thunderbird/Seamonkey They allow POP/IMAP so there is no need to use the webmail version.

                            I still use yahoo mail (free not paid, if they have that) and have no probs with modals or anything. I also use Adblock Plus which I think solves a lot of issues.

                                Oh, but that's only for google apps. I was thinking you meant for all apps, which is what the firefox add-in allows.
