Who else is feed-up with Yahoo mail?

I've had problems lately with my mail not wanting to load. It's been happening since Thursday. I was thinking maybe due to a lot of traffic on the site beings so many were off work. This has happened once before & lasted several days in a row that time too.

I have my business website through them....last week I checked the spam and it's all nasty stuff.....sent to my website mailing address.....and that is not supposed to happen. If it continues I'll have to change my website to someplace else. I don't like that kind of crap in my mailbox!

Hmmm I always thought my yahoo inbox was full of junk because one website got a hold of my email address and sold it to everyone they could think of. But you have never given yours out so that doesn't apply. I have a hotmail account that only friends and family have and*knock on wood* I rarely get any spam there. Can't say much about gmail other than my little brother uses it and he doesn't have the patience for spam so it must be ok.
To be honest, more than being annoyed at yahoo, I'm annoyed with all of the spammers. And the people who click on their ads or whatever they're selling to make it worthwhile for them to continue.
Good luck escaping them!

I have a Yahoo! Mail account and in fact it is the first internet mail account that I have ever had. I got that account before Gmail was even born. At that time the only other option that I had was HotMail but somehow I chose Yahoo instead.

So far, I have not experienced the problem that you are having. I do get spam from time to time but they are about less than 10 daily so I am not complaining as my Gmail is getting about 50 or more spams per day. Furthermore, those spam mails just go directly to the spam box and I just leave them there where they would be deleted after a month or so...

May be I am not in the US and that's why probably my email account did not get sold by Yahoo and therefore, I did not get as much spam as what you have got.

GMail is a good option but just be careful as Google has the habit of suspending and deleting users account as they wish without any warning and this have happened to a couple of people that I know.

Cheers!

I used to use Yahoo, but now I use Gmail. I just find Gmail to be a lot more user friendly. As far as spam goes, I don't really remember there being much of a difference in spam between my Yahoo and Gmail accounts, but then again I give my e-mail address out a lot so I do get a lot of spam. But hopefully you'll be very happy with Gmail! I know I am!

Wow..you're the second person I've heard complain about getting tons of emails...not just spam either, but others out of the blue. So far I've not had this problem..Let me ask you..do you have a "free" account there? You see, I don't..I have a paid one and I haven't had this problem..so maybe when one has a paid account of Yahoo, the spam blocker is better ...it's only $19.95 a year..so not bad. As far as the number of spam email..in my spam folder usually about 60 or so a day...I do go through it though since every once in awhile I get a legitimate one somehow going in there..LOL..I would LOVE to get paid just for going through the spam mail

I have a mail account through yahoo that I have used to receive myLot notifications and nothing else for the last 6 months, and I have never received anything except myLot mail in it.

I have noticed a lot more spam mail than usual in Yahoo recently that should have gone right to spam and it doesn't this is wrong for them to offer free yahoo mail and then black mail us into paying as I cannot afford to do this and I use Yahoo a lot. It has not got too bad but it is annoying getting spam when it should not be there. I don't think they are supposed to sell our information not according to my states consumer affairs. It is illegal. They can get in trouble for this as they have not informed email box users if this is a new policy. G-Mail does the same thing and I get a lot more spam there than from yahoo.

I had the same problem when i'm still using my yahoo mail.. i got fed up with its service that's why i decided to transfer to gmail account.. i love gmail, it has cleaner environment and it filters annoying spam emails..

Well now I am afraid to go check mine out I do not like yahoo. I joined the place when I was trying to save my home. I am also there with a business venture. I am going over there to see what is going on and if I am affected. Thank you for the heads up.
