I must say that $19.99/ yr for hotmail w/o ads is worth it.

Terrible email service. Spam over and over again. Obtrusive ads slowing everything down. Many times email will not even load. On and on. Worst email service I have ever seen. Try gmail, gmx or even AOL/AIM. ATT and Yahoo are 5th rate companies.

Hey nice ads about all the girls that get paid while they sleep. Why don’t they find a way to take these off before my kids see them!

I would like to have Yahoo unlimited storage

Yahoo is full of hot air when it claims there haven’t been very many complaints from users. There are probably many more complaints that may not have reached them because people might be contacting their internet providers like Verizon, which is what I did. Verizon uses Yahoo as the e-mail provider so since I pay Verizon for my service, I complained to them last week when all this ad stuff started cluttering and squeezing up my mailbox. I also don’t need unlimited space and manage to delete old mail daily unlike some hoarders who save their 800 e-mails due to lack of organizational ability I suppose.

I am a paying ATT DSL subcriber and I am tired of all the ads in the email page. If something is not done about it fast, I’m going to find another ISP.

Yahoo can’t figure out why Google is beating them up one side and down another? Look at the $&*#() ads all over the mail browser. I could put up with banner ads but these things flash and have dancing monkeys or what ever. It makes your screen look like some cheap carnival. I travel internationally quite a bit and the connections often are not all that great. All these animated ads take longer to load than the messages. The really infuriating part is I’m paying for this service! Forget unlimited storage – just get rid of the ads! Meanwhile I’m checking out alternate DSL providers. I’ll gladly pay twice as much not to have to look at Yahoo’s garbage.

As a Bellsouth customer, I was bought by AT&T. Yahoo!’s aggressive advertising has been the downfall of a few of my favorite message boards in ‘01-’02, and I’ll have nothing to do with them, and have run screming from anything Yahoo! related. Now my home page, and e-mail page are flooded with ads, as well as my inbox despite banishing many gigs of the stuff as “Report as spam”.

I guess it’s time to go ISP/Bundle shopping again. Hopefully my next ISP won’t be bought by you anytime soon.

Yes, I too, after almost a year of this, am tired of these banner ads. In the e-mail itself, the spam blocker seems to do a good job – except one place: the large piece to the right gets spammed with endless banner adds for things I don’t want.

How ethical is it when you plaster my screen with an that says: “2008 #1 Winner. This is not a joke. You are the 10,000 visitor!” At the bottom is a button that says “click here to claim.”

Is this what you’ve reduced yourself to make money? YOu have to run extremely vague ads that prey on people who might actually fall for this crap? This is disgraceful.

It could be pure coincidence, but I find it interesting that some of the spam I receive (dated a day or more into the future to sit at the top of my inbox) comes from advertisers who happen to have banners cluttering up our mailboxes.

What sucks is that I have been a PAYING CUSTOMER for over 9 years and you reward me with your frigging advertisements! All they do is lock up my browser with a bunch of $hitty boxes that says “Fire Fox failed to load” What a load alright of crap. Keep your ads to the FREE accounts.

Look at your business model it needs to be updated and what a cop out about not receiving many complaints…hell yes that would be my way out too if I was pissing off a lot of customers with spam advertisements….!!!

Way to go……jerks…..

That was what I was online chatting with a yahoo tech about yesterday. She acted like I was the only person to tell her of the half page ads in the inbox. Then she blamed it on my online security and told me I needed to switch to ATT online protection. This message cannot be avoided it is sent in by yahoo themselves and they don’t want us to be able to decide if we want to see them or not

YAY! Unlimited storage. Well, since I have to deal with all these stupid ads all over my inbox, I think I’m going to start emailing myself every large photo I have, and keep them safely backed up in my yahoo mailbox. if I have to endure ads for unlimited storage, you can bet I’m going to use all the “unlimited” space I can.

1. Why is it that Yahoo Mail in just about every country EXCEPT the US has free POP3 email access? Why does Yahoo discriminate against Americans? I had to get a UK email address just so I could get POP3 access! What about IMAP? Google offers both of these for FREE!

2. What does “unlimited space” really mean? I’d like to save every photo and attachment I receive FOREVER. This could ultimately add up to hundreds of terabytes, maybe even more. Will usage like this cause my account to be cancelled?

3. Filters. 15 isn’t enough. Why not unlimited filters? I’d like to sort all my incoming mail into folders, even sub folders.

4. Spam – I still get tons of viagra and 419 spam every single day. There has to be a way to filter all of these out.

Storage to be paid for by constant bombardment of ads on my email page! You’re losing this customer.

By: Steve

I give up. Yahoo is out of touch. I thought maybe I could get used to the banner ads, their size, having to minimize each page, having to wait forever for the page to load, but now . . . now with a news page I have to click through to get to my mail page . . . that’s it. Jerry, you are out of touch. I take that back. I think you know exactly what you want Yahoo to be. Advertising centric. Go ahead, forget about what made Yahoo cutting edge. Yahoo isn’t an internet infrastructure company at all. Google is going to own you – oh wait, they already do. They understand progress, and customer needs. I invested in Google this year, but I’d never even consider Yahoo given this ad-tastic email debacle. Give it up.

it’s great yahoo is giving unlimited storage for its mail service. i’ve been searching for your paid mail service. i want to do reselling, that is buy space and resell to other customers if you do provide various number of mail boxes for a service. is that possible? i think hostgator.com is offering such service, pronounced, unlimited mail. does yahoo do it? i’ll be happy if you do
thanks

It’s really a shame – I had been using ATT Yahoo mail for a few years. Then we get the email excitedly telling us about unlimited storage and chat – only to have the excitement crushed with the newest “feature”: ads.

I really loved the new Yahoo Mail interface, I’ve been using it since early beta. I’ve never been a big fan of the GMail interface. Yet, the ads have been so annoying I decided to switch.

In the few months I’ve been on GMail Apps, I’ve gotten comfortable with the new interface. At least the ads are text-only and minimal. I never log into my old Yahoo account anymore.

I’ve written twice to ATT/Yahoo customer service complaining about the ads that I’m forced PAY for as part of my service with no response. In spite of all the complaints I’ve seen here and elsewhere, ATT/Yahoo still make public comments that customers have no problem with the changes. Blah.

SHAME ON YOU ATT & YAHOO. It should be easier to provided unlimited storage with so many users no longer using your service.

yahoo. you know the more bells and whistles you keep putting on the e-mail, the more clogged down it gets. whole words dissapear if i back up to erase one letter, and when entering into my e-amil I went into a home page i didn’t ask to be sent to and the log-in dissapeared, so I had to take time out to change all the settings back to what I wanted. can’t you just leave well enough alone, get rid of the obtrusive banner ads, and make it the efficient, peaceful interface that was your wonderful e-mail in summer? please?

Jeanne — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 04:01:40 +0000

I’ve written to customer service twice over the summer about the horrible banner ads. I still hate them. Do you think we are going to get use to them? When is Yahoo going to add sound to the ads to make our experience even more unpleasant?

I agree with Tom. Now the top banner ad loads, but not the rest of the page, so I have to sit here and refresh the screen. It is so annoying.

I never open my home page and try to go through my e-mail as quick as I can, so I can close the offensive AT&T Yahoo e-mail system. Hate it.

I am glad I stumbled on to this page. I was so disappointed when I saw the all of the advertising in my email window. Looks like they are trying to drive paying customers off. Glad to see I am not alone in my complaints. Unfortunately, I live out in the country and have few options for internet access and phone service. I was completely satisfied until this issue. I am searching hard for better options and can’t wait to drop AT&T.

I cannot believe that you would force obtrusive ads on your long time paying customers!!

This is outrageous…and I want to go find another service!

SHAME ON YOU!

The advertising on the AT&T/Yahoo email interface is atrocious. A major distraction, in the most unpleasant sense. Lately, it appears to be kludging up the email program as well. Sometimes that banner ads will load, but not the rest of the page. Requires hitting the ‘refresh’ button to get the whole page back. When ads start to compromise the user-friendliness and efficiency of the mail program, it makes me wonder why I’m using it. Ditto for my business, other family & relatives.
Please, lose the ads, or you will continue to lose valued and faithful customers.

The Dermatage Advertisements are back! GROSS, REALLY GROSS! Yahoo please make the advertisements go away from the e-mail. It makes it really hard to use the e-mail because it slows it down a lot. And people in real life are not as ugly as those in the Dermatage advertisements!

A few months ago, I had called my phone service provider, AT&T, to see what could be done about receiving ten refinance calls a day. Customer service was helpful in providing some solutions to the problem.
Then the same company, AT&T, in partnership with Yahoo, takes away part of my email page with refinance ads! I sure was amazed that my phone company/ISP, who were claiming to be helpful, were now treating the same as a NetZero customer, even though I pay for their most expensive internet service.
If I want to check my mail, while away from home, on a smaller monitor, the ads stay the same size, everything else shrinks.
All this, to pay for unlimited storage? If I need more storage, I would be willing to pay for it.
Thank you.

I hate those little promotional taglines at the end of our outgoing messages. They look so unprofessional. That is why I use Gmail. I really like Yahoo’s new mail interface, but I just don’t like the taglines.

I know that a lot of people switch to Yahoo Mail and Hotmail because they don’t like the way Gmail searches their messages to display text ads. But, I think it would be a lot better if Yahoo displayed text ads instead of the blinking, annoying flash ads. The text ads wouldn’t have to be relevant to the emails, that way Yahoo wouldn’t search the messages.

i am so happy to know that Yahoo! had allocated an unlimited Email storage space to its users. So i had switched from rediff to Yahoo! All the best for all Yahoo members.

FYI to user cancelling paid services with AT&T Yahoo:

Yahoo very nicely converted my pacbell.net account to a new ID using the free e-mail version, and it auto-imported all my mail and contacts, etc.

So there’s one plus side to switching. You will likely be able to keep your items online, rather than having to download them before they are zapped. I still have no plans to use Yahoo mail, but thought you all might like to know. Not sure what variables factor in to that, so don’t count on it, maybe I’m getting a special deal or something, who knows. Anyway, I love my new e-mail account on another service, and won’t be back til the clue is caught. Cheers!
