Customer Service?
- I have a problem with my Yahoo acct. which I cannot fix, so I went to Customer Service and gave them all the information. They wanted me to pay for how to fix it when it is not remotely my fault. I hate Yahoo. They don't even have a phone number so I can call them. If it is hidden somewhere, I'm sure they would still want me to pay them to correct my problem. I'm looking for a new provider.

Where's the Old Yahoo?
- Yahoo is really bad since they had to change it. Wasn't that great before. Too, I'm having problems. I can write an email and when nearly finished, it goes "Whoosh." Not in Drafts, either. I've tried putting in Drafts at the beginning and have had same thing happen. I really hate Yahoo. In reading here, I've found I'm not alone. I must find a new email provider and soon or I'll soon be bald from tearing out my hair!

Looking for a conservative email server
- After a long, long time with Yahoo, I have had enough intrusion — why is there not a conservative service available when all I hear is how the "liberal media" controls everything — I am most fed up with Yahoo's censorship issues.

Gmail, But Thinking of Trying Others
- I have Gmail, but twice my emails have been lost and also some contacts. Right now, the link to "Contacts" has disappeared, so I cannot open. There was a link at the bottom to use for the old program but also is gone now. I am thinking of trying other service but don't know how or which one.

Gmail is Best
- I have been using Gmail for years. When switching internet providers there is no need to change email addresses and there is NO turning off your service because you did not access your email for X days. It has been the best service we have had for mail free or paid. There are complaints about ads on FREE email services which is ridiculous! I guess there must be a new way to keep it free. What is it? The ads are not really bothersome. They are on one side and small. I am also using it with my mobile phone.

Your IP address in email
- "that they track your IP address, supposedly so they can tell you if an unusual IP uses your e-mail" This is a newer use, but is similar to a credit card company flagging a change in pattern of card use. But in the case of hijacked email account, notifying the hijacker won't do much good. So what is this "tracking" about? For regular email and spammer detection... Sender info is unfortunately needed, to trackback misanthropic use of email. also, everyone who receives the email can read the sender ip. fortunately, there's not much a recipient by him/herself can do knowing sender ip. further action (good or bad) requires cooperation with the sending service (such as, Hotmail. or, a company if a phisher is sending faked address email using company account or has hacked a company account, etc).

Yahoo Mail
- I haven't tried current Yahoo beta. Eventually, Yahoo moves everyone to beta. I've survived past switches. Thanks to those who wrote that Yahoo explicitly says they harvest mail text. I really should set up encryption… Proxomitron works well for reducing the spamload. putting all ard. and bc. has seemed reliable. Proxomitron has many other uses. However, it's easy to also block useful functions in these days of excess scripting.

Multiple problems with Rediff
- Tried rediff.com because it was suggested by someone in this forum. But, it does not seem to work, at least for someone from the USA. Cannot: delete messages, send messages, change password. You click delete or send but nothing deletes or sends. Password change takes forever and then gives you an error code. I am sorry to have to jump ship after one week.

Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc…
- All the biggest names in email are now the lowest in satisfaction. Their company size is the only thing keeping them afloat. Paid for Yahoo mail and web hosting only to never get my business going because I could never access anything. Any one willing to start our own email? Yahoo just deleted my most used and important email saying it was never used. I used it several times a day! I just signed into a Y! acct. I opened 6 years ago and it is not only still up but no warnings of deletion like my main acct. Can't wait until these low life companies drop dead!

Leaving Gmail very unhappy
- About 7 months ago, my Gmail account was hacked, and I've had nothing but trouble ever since. I am currently searching for a new email service — hopefully one that will give me emails that are sent to me and not change my outgoing emails from gmail to ymail. Also, they often send my email to other email account that is similar to mine. Hopefully the new email program will be better. Like those [below] - I've tried emailing, leaving comments on Gmail and their forums, and I give up.

Looking for 'secure' free email service
- Been using Gmail since 2004, but after my wife's account was hacked from Nigeria, her 'recovery' email and SMS changed by the hacker, I was unable to reset her password for 5 days and by then all her mail was lost. I learned that there is no real Gmail support (or even interest). By default Gmail just blames the hacking on spyware on the user's machine or their password being phished, but neither was the case here which means the security problem was on their side. So after many years I am looking for a different email service with better security and recovery tools.

Yahoo! Mail No More
- I had 3 yahoo email address which worked well until they notified me they were altering their Terms of Service. I read para (c) and it was enough for me to close all 3 accounts. Totally invasive and unacceptable. They give themselves permission to access peoples computer files! Disappear Yahoo, no one will miss you.

Avoid Juno
- I have used Juno for at least 10 years. I'm shopping for a new ISP. Their new home page (which you have to use) is cluttered, confusing, and not user friendly. And they won't let you go back to the original.

Tired of Yahoo! Mail
- The former version of Yahoo was pretty good; very few problems. The new version is horrible. Can't do anything. It is so frustrating. "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it". Can't delete, can't forward, can't delete email addresses. It is a mess!

Yahoo: no way to log in; no one to call
- Have had yahoo for years, never had an issue, then they (???) came out with new version and it's Horrible. Now they told me (well a message told me) I may have been compromised and I needed to change my password. That took 2 hours, and everything worked. That was last night. This morning, I again have no way to log in, no one to call and all my personal files are locked somewhere. Yahoo SUCKS
