[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's contagious.  I don't have Yahoo.  I have AOL, and email has been inaccessible for the past hour.  AOL acknowledges the problem and is working on it.[/quote]

Why on earth are you still using either of these services? It is 2025.[/quote]

DP but I've had my yahoo address since 1999. Why would I change it? [/quote]

Because at some point Yahoo are going to go out of business and you’re going to lose everything. Yahoo is  mainly free email and sports and news. They have stagnated as a company and havelost a lot of market share to Google and Facebook, both of whom are growing with the times  - think YouTube, Google fiber, tv, and instagram, meta quest. gen Z send a lot more messages than email.

I understand you want to be defensive of your choice. But you sound like someone bragging that they’ve had the same  land phone number for 25 years. :) it’s okay to get a cell phone. No one will judge you.

But you don’t need to completely deactivate your yahoo email; but if you haven’t already, you should get a Gmail account and slowly start transitioning to it[/quote]

It can sooner than you think.... Yahoo emailed customers that they are reducing the 1TB storage to 20GB... less than a cell phone.... unless you pay a monthly fee. Us 90s users are screwed.[/quote]
Thanks, this is a good tip, and this article explains more about it:

I’m still annoyed about their massive hack and subsequent lack of disclosure a decade ago, followed by them deactivating and completely deleting all my emails from an important but low-use account (that was taking up minimal storage), without warning.

They must be barely hanging on to make such a drastic change and risk losing so many customers, but their lack of trustworthiness is not helping.
