Yahoo To Try To Charge For POP3 Services

Yahoo states that this is so it can 'improve' service quality and 'reduce" spam.' The report says that it's the mailing forwarding and POP3 services, so I'm not sure that it affects the Webmail service; if it reduces the spam coming out of Yahoo!, that'd be one less domain I have to filter into "Spam," which would be nice.

Yahoo sucks anyways by Archfeld · 2002-03-21 04:46 · Score: 1, Troll

An Ad every second in your face..they have no support. You are better off hosting your own email, safer and cheaper. Will be nice to see Yahoo go under though.
