I used to like Yahoo ..A lot better than Hotmail...One of the reason it was because Yahoo was not that intrusive like hotmail is...An other one..It was because back in the day when most of the peple would surf around with 20kb/sec most of the time Hotmail would not open...Yahoo would open all the time...So yeah...plenty of reasons to love Yahoo
But recently...
Wanna bet that your personal informations would still be copied to servers (Maybe not UK but still...copied to some server) even if you click no???

Yes, likely.
They bugged me for half a year - what do You want with yahoo.com - DO You play football - bla. bla. Sign up to shift to yahoo.de.
When I did not comply to yahoo's bidding, they silently moved me - as if I was darft and did not know to read server location .de.
The same was done for a guy from .si // he asked at yahoo questions about it - because they moved the whole ID to Asia. I told him create a new one with idendical name at *.com, if needed via proxy - since it is automated; they will not notice and automat can not know only checks whether it exists. Bingo & Success!
2 weeks ago yahoo wanted another e.mail address - "In case, You loose Your pwd"
I declined: "not now".
& so I signed up with hotmail. Next time they ask they get the address I created for them

About 3 months ago I got so mad at yahoo not filtering enough spam that I switched to gmail and couldn't be happier. I couldn't forward my email from yahoo without paying. You have to do that with all yahoo.com email addy's. I just told everyone my new address and so far no problems. I still check yahoo mail maybe once a week. Now I noticed some buttons no longer work without refreshing so I am glad I left.
Not to mention the nosy questions that from time to time apear whn you log in...
How many kids hom many workers in your firm and stuff like that,,,Every time the question is different but you can actually see that they are following a pattern there (And to answer at the question :No i am not beeing paranoid...Just beeing aware...:cool
They seem inocent enough at the first sight and you tend not to notice them but along the time they will acumulate an impresive amount of information about you ,your kids family ,tastes and stuff
The new email adress stuff and let`s set up you account recovery bollocks they are quite annoying...Because if you deny thy would not let you sign in...So you have to go back and type the adress again and log in again...

Somehow i do not like Gmail...I have Gmail since back in the day when you needed an invitation to have one email account...They`re not so special..I use them as a online database to store my programs and stuff because at that time they were the only one to offer you unlimitated acces...

looks like yahoo are reinnovating their advertisments.. must be hard being of the brink of bankruptcy. don't think it's government(big brother info gathering) related
It is ok that they advertise - the show must be financed somehow. All do adds.
I chose to see info I am interested anyway. That is my deal.
When throw bandwidth = $ out of the window with their pathetic browser switch that make visitors reload pages when they forget to spoof their favored browsers - Its not nice but they are mostly throwing away their own $$.
I am not pleased when they relocate my mail@ from my chosen location to one that they'd like. I had not agreed to that change of contract conditions. But I cannot do much.
But when they try to find more of my mail@ I can do something...
& my new "life-mail" account got me some useful software already.
