Yahoo mail ?

granddi · ‎03-16-2010

I have used the free version of Yahoo mail for years.

Recently, I always get "an offer" to upgrade-of course with a fee.

I always decline. But now I will be logged out within a few minutes. I constantly have to re-log in.

Am I going have to giveup my free yahoo and pay the fee?

IDK. I have two Yahoo accounts and I don't remember ever seeing any offers to upgrade, but I would ignore them if I saw them. I haven't had any issues with being logged out.

@granddi - I recently started paying $5/month for Yahoo!Plus. I wasn't thrilled about it, but I get a lot of emails and send a lot, because of work and other things. It pretty much didn't give me a choice. All of the sudden I had Yahoo!Plus!

The good thing to result from this is I don't get any ads. To me, that makes it worth it!

I haven't used my Yahoo account for years. It seems kind if old fashioned like AOL.

No, you don't have to give up your free account. You can get one with some other provider but you'll have to learn some new stuff and changing your address everywhere is a big hassle.

@granddi - I use Yahoo and I don't get any offers to upgrade. Nor do I get logged out until I actually log out myself.

Maybe you need to clean out your cookies and search history, etc.

You may call AOL mail "old fashioned", I call it a bargain since it's free!

I've used it for many years and have never, ever had a problem with it.

I refuse to be a slave to whether or not it's 'old fashioned', I don't really care what others think about which email service I use.

What a strange comment. Ive had my aol email address for 30 years. In my job plenty of custmers have yahoo, aol, gmail and various other services.

They all work. Not sure what deems something old fashioned if they have the same exact utilization. I dont have to chisel my emails into a rock and my emails arent sent by carrier pidgeon. My emails are not stored in old wooden chests. LOL

Yahoo does seems out of date. I never used it. I use Gmail. It's still free with no ads. My husband has two of them. Gmail and Yahoo. I really hope it doen't change with Gmail and being charged. I was curiious so I looked it up. Gmail has l.8 Billion active users.

I don't really know. Yahoo and AOL started out as something else. Lost to Google. It never occurredd to me to get Yahoo email or anything AOL. Most people around the world use gmaill. Technology and the brands that offer it change all the time. It was originally created was a "Guide to the World Wide Web" by a college student at Stanford.
