Are there less ads or any? I pay for the Mail Plus ($20/year) no ads, no Yahoo tagline at the end of your message, POP forwarding so I can use the account with Thunderbird or Outlook. Gmail has all these too, but you get ads and privacy issues.
Is it targeted advertising like g-mail, scanning the messages? I haven't noticed any spam related to message traffic.
What about storage limits? I forget what the Yahoo free account offers, something like 10 MB. Mail Plus gets you 2 GB.
And how long does it take to open? On Roadrunner or DSL, its pretty fast. Sometimes Yahoo mail servers seem to be down for several minutes.
Re your post #76 - Thanks for that info. I really appreciate it.
