Not sure why you ask that. I don't use it, but it's always ranked in the top five free email services and it's favored by many users.

I no longer receive emails on my phone. Anyone else having this problem?

So much would depend upon details, such as the type of phone, whether you're using a special app for the mail, etc. On my iPhone, I use the integrated mail system (not an app) and if my email has a problem the quickest, easiest fix is to delete the account in the settings and then re-establish it.

I stopped using my yahoo account last year after my email got hacked twice, both times sending spam/virus containing messages from my account to everyone in my address book. I get those type of malware infested messages from other yahoo users quite often. I now use gmail and haven't had any problems.

My hotmail got hacked, I had the hardest time getting it back because the Microsoft jerks I talked to were extremely unhelpful. That's why I went over to yahoo and haven't had problems there.

I had a stupidly easy to guess password (not as stupid as "password" or "123456", but still guessable) so it served me right. I chose a much harder password and haven't had problems since. I would call getting hacked a user issue, not a provider issue.

anyhoo...........when i had hotmail 10 years ago it was always hacked into and friends/family would tell me that they would get the strangest emails "from me" but they knew that i would never say or ask them things like that. i have had yahoo for even longer and hardly ever have a problem with it. i still get my email on my phone and i still get the notification of new emails.

I have a Yahoo address, but do not use it. The only thing I get there is junk mail. And, there is lots of that. Probably 57 a day or more. All I do once a week is empty out the junk mail. I don't know why those senders don't give up.

I have not had any trouble opening it up, but I don't live in CA.

I haven't had a bit of problem with my yahoo account and I don't know anyone who has.

I think it would be hard to top verizon for letting junk mail thru.
