I got more security on this computer than TMI and have no problems with Yahoo.
Weird....
I quit them years ago, as I have my own URL’s and direct traffic anytime I want to any place I want and block any sender at will...
I use a little program called POP Peeper to pre-read Gmail and Yahoo Mail. It has several versions, including a free version. The developer is pretty good about keepin it updated when the mail programs are changed.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Update that to — Who blocks the blockers?
Hey there are no free lunches.
What do you expect for free? I use my ISP’s email server, and get it because I pay my bill every month.
We must not totally discount this but it was the same thing after 9/11 and after the European train and bus bombings. By running a lot of false chatter they cause economic losses and disruption in the target countries.
wrong thread.
Honestly, they go to blocking someone using Adblock, I'll just go back to downloading my mail into a mail program.
Their choice.
Using Comodo dragon with Ghostery lets me open Yahoo mail with no problems. Blocked 2 things - I allow Scorecard for another site.
So use POP and pull your Yahoo mail down to a client, either on your laptop/desktop, or your smartphone/tablet. Don’t even touch their website.
If certain sites placed a reasonable limit on the number of ads allowed; and if they completely eliminated annoying, distracting animated Flash ads — then, perhaps most of us wouldn’t feel compelled to use an Ad Blocker.
I was a yahoo guy forever - But they seem to be purposefully reducing the usefulness of their products...
Like Yahoo Instant Messenger, which I used to have open all the time, primarily to txt to cell phones - Yes I had friends on actual Messenger too, but it was the ability to sit at a computer and txt to phones that made it invaluable.
They acted like it was something wrong server-side, and that they were moving to fix it, but after 3 or 4 months, I finally moved on. Now I don’t use it at all.
And their calendar services suck now... I have moved over to google and my calendar works across google, all my ‘droid machines, and in Thunderbird/lightning on all my computers...
But I don’t know how they can shut off mail, now that their phone apps require MAPI - I log into Yahoo Mail all the time with Thunderbird... but with nothing but a mailbox, I am soon to be rid of them... And I’ve had that mailbox since Yahoo was USA1 - I have already stopped paying for Plus, no longer use the calendar or the messenger... If a guy like me is going away, they’ve got a problem.
Another fail for Yahoo!
Yahoo! still offers mail? I had no idea.
Say whatever ya want about Google, their spam blocker kicks the feces out of whatever pretend blocker Yahoo! always has used.
I’ve heard that AdBlock users have been unable to get on TinyPic and Snopes lately as well.
I hate Yahoo for all it’s stupid ads and popups. I never use it.
So I see they are forcing ones to use their site with all that crap. Screw Yahoo.
