Yahoo email reminds me of Obamacare — 9 Comments

  1. The e-Proles are being monetized… nothing more… nothing less.

    It’s an industry wide trend that tasks them like Ahab.

  2. At least they won’t drone strike your computer for not using yahoo or implant child porn pictures on it, or hack your car’s computer and make it crash into a tree.

  3. explicitly and specifically transformed to make room for ads that use up your bandwidth. looking for a new email source.

  4. Have you tried installing Thunderbird? It’s an open-source email client from Mozilla. Once installed, you can connect Thunderbird to your Yahoo email account. Once that’s done, you won’t have to use the Yahoo email web browser interface, unless you’re away from your computer that has Thunderbird installed. Of course, if you have more than one computer, you can install Thunderbird on as many of them as you like.

    I have three email accounts connected to my Thunderbird client. I happen to like the user interface, as well as the convenience of checking three email accounts at once, but not everybody would agree. I guess software preferences can be a matter of taste.

    If you decide to test Thunderbird, then you can just search the web for step-by-step instructions on connecting the Thunderbird client to the Yahoo email server. It’s pretty easy and non-technical. One important point: use the IMAP protocol rather than the POP protocol. This is a selection you’ll need to make during the installation process.

  5. I agree totally with this. I liked the original product and now I hate it. I will in fact start moving my email over to other accounts after having Yahoo email for over 11 years, long enough to have my actual name without any numbers or additional letters.

  6. Searching online for help returning to the previous Yahoo format, I was directed to this procedure which seems to work. At least, I now have tabs!

    What you want is now called “Yahoo Basic”. In the upper right corner of the Inbox screen, locate “Options”. Within the Options page, choose Mail Accounts (under Advanced Options on the left side), then mark “Basic” at the bottom of that page. This will move you from the “Full Featured” format that you and I loathe.

  7. Liz:

    Thanks, but I tried that some time ago, and although “Basic” does restore the tabs it’s just too basic, much more basic than “Classic” was. For example, there are no italics.
