*Verizon sold its Yahoo subsidiary. How will this affect AT&T email? Yahoo was bought by some company named Apollo. I looked into the company on Wikipedia. So far, nothing has been mentioned anywhere about AT&T email that is powered by Yahoo.
Does anyone know anything about this?
*Sorry, major typing boo boo was there. Verizon was not sold. Verizon's Yahoo was sold to Apollo. This could include Yahoo Mail, but there's been nothing released about this detail yet.

I understood Verizon sold Yahoo and AOL. Why would that affect AT&T email.

Verizon wasn't sold. It's doing the selling. They sold both Yahoo and AOL, which were purchased in separate transactions, to Apollo Global Management, which is a private equity firm. They're going to retain 10% equity in both though, and it'll be rebranded under the name Yahoo. How that all shakes out following any regulatory manuvers and requirements is quite a ways down the road. The deal isn't expected to close until the second half of 2021.

I don't know how you import your old files, tho.........

Internet-based email is in large part supported by advertisements. If it's still making money, the email service will continue, whether company ownership changes or not.
