Yahoo sucks...

...because there is no way to sign in [to] my account. The help center has not figured out why their server quit on my request.

Spam, Spam, Spam

My [Yahoo! Mail] account was sending everyone I know CRAP. Plus, I only need one e-mail address now. MobileMe, here I come!

Yahoo! Mail allows too much spam

Yahoo allows too much spam. I am so tired of all the [junk] emails. I spam them and they keep coming. Not so with Gmail :)

Too many email accounts to keep track of

I have too many email accounts to keep track of. Many email accounts I do have pick up X-Rated pop-ups. The best way to control them is to limit my email accounts. I have one public account and one university account. These are all I need and they will keep me away from unwanted sites.

Too much ad content

Too much ad content. A complete and total waste of bandwidth and my time.

Emails from Abroad

Some of the mails are coming from abroad, I am not liking they are all in my inbox, so I want to close my id.

Too Much Junk

Don't feel like opening this email any more. I am just sick of opening this email and not finding the thing that I want to.

No more Yahoo!

Very Stupid Mail. They ask money for [an] option you can get free on other web e-mails [i.e. POP or IMAP access]!

Receiving Mail That's Not Mine

I am receiving mail that's not mine… its annoying.
—Guest rphlwlkr

Hackers!

This account kept getting hacked even though I changed my password more than once. Inappropriate ads were sent to some professional contacts, and that was too embarrassing. Gmail has been much better.
