Yahoo is getting really stupid

[woodsmoke]

When Yahoo "upgraded" a few months ago, I started having nothing but problems with it on my computer and my Android smartphone.

I somehow got the Yahoo on the computer to act "kinda right" by ticking the "classic mail" box. There are still adverts but they are liveable.

In terms of a "free" Yahoo for Android, ( I know we are discussing "computer e-mail" but ..) "Aquamail", has a TON of settings, I do the absolute minimum....

there is an "advert e-mail" that appears at the top, but it just sits there and I don't click it. It goes away and another appears a few days later.

, but, like I said, I disabled "push" disabled all of the bells and whistles

and just hit the "refresh" button and if a new "throwaway" message shows, I read it.

If there was an "aquamail" for my computer I would jump on it! lol

How about Earthlink? I've had their DSL forever, service is very good, web email is generous (although I use Thunderbird).

I had Earthlink for several years. Bought their 15Mb/s service when it first came out for $52/month, no caps. I am currently using Windstream because it came with the apartment lease when my wife and I sold our house and moved closer to the kids. But, when the contract is out I am moving back to Earthlink.

BTW, Yahoo, like AOL, are viruses masquerading as services. If they were ligit programs they'd leave an "uninstall" app in the Control Panel.

Not necessarily just computer email, Androids have browser(s) to access webmail, I don't use all those stupid proprietary apps, waaaaaaaay too many permissions, data mining, etc. But yeah, Yahoo has been licking more M$ bum in the way of making Yahoo more WinDOHS 8.x compatible lately, the flies always follow the ugly beast around to feed on its feces, lol.
