Yahoo mail isn't so bad for me[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#8)
by geoffhazel on Sat Apr 12, 2008 at 11:53:53 AM PDT

I also have been a long time Yahoo mail user, and haven't had too much to complain about. I get lots of email into my bulk mail, and from zero to 4 actual spam per day. I didn't like how they put the "skyscraper" ads on the right side of the new mail, but found that I can use Firefox with a Greasemonkey add-on that filters those ads right off the page. If I didn't have that, I, too, would be upset. I'm going to slowly transition over to gmail though, because apparently my company feels about Yahoo the way most of the people who have commented here do, and they are blocking Yahoo access from our Blackberries now. Gmail, however, still gets through.
