Are ya'll lovin the new yahoo mail they forced on us

Well, its disasterous in my opinion. Yes its still free--but its ruined for all practical purposes. With a comatose browser speed that makes benzworld look like "the fast and furious".

It was a decent freebie for as long as -since my oldest brother showed me the rudements of messin with computers.
Now its too damn slow to even go in and save (forward) what you need from years back to - hot , g, opera, etc mail.

I've used the Yahoo! mail account for all those website registrations that request an email address that you know you'll never log onto again. I monitor the mailbox through my regular mail client software, not the web.

Couldn't care less. I use a desktop or phone client with all of my mail accounts. The interface stays more or less consistent no matter what.

Now THAT'S funny . That's why I gravitated to Peachparts when I was looking for a forum -- BW was too darned slow (and ugly).

Why do you think Yahoo is going bankrupt?
It's not because they have too many telecommuters, it's because they have incompetent, clueless management.

Starting with the new CEO.

That's why I sold my Yahoo stock a long time ago and never bought again

I have no issues with Yahoo mail. Did not even know something had changed.

I'm on gmail, haven't had any issues there. I've got like 12,000 emails though.

I've never noticed a speed/slowness issues with BenzWorld? I run AdblockPlus though...to do otherwise is crazy!

The price of Gmail, in terms of privacy and control of content, is pretty high.
