Default ymail

WTF is wrong with yahoo? Dont they understand that people hat spam? I logged into ymail for the first time since I created the account a year ago, and it has over 1000 messages in it. I never used it never gave it out or anything, I just needed a yahoo ID for a yahoo message board.

That is why yahoo is going to loose to google

Dont have a problem with my yahoo mail but my juno email is spam central. I"m sure they use a program to generate emails and just send until it says it went through.

Yahoo sucks my scrotum. They even charge for POP3 whereas Gmail is free. Unfortunately I've been using my Yahoo account forever and would lose a lot of stuff if I switched over.

I've been using the same yahoo account for over 10 years and I don't get much spam at all. Maybe 2 or 3 a week.

I get a decent amount of spam...but most of it goes to the spam folder so it's really not a problem. And I've been using it over 10 years as well.

Same here. Doesn't bother me a bit.

Actually my Gmail is the one that gets all the spam; I rarely use it as a result.

Same here, got my Yahoo account when they bought out Geocities, and i opened the Geocities account in 1995. Get about 20 spams a day in the spam folder, maybe 1 or 2 a week get thru to my mailbox
