[QUOTE="dabigboy, post: 4225765, member: 50364"] Yahoo has become the dumping ground for ISPs that either go under, or simply can't be bothered to provide an actual email service to their customers....flash.net, swbell.net, prodigy.net etc, they all are hosted by Yahoo. I don't understand what's behind this except that most of these services, at least so far, are companies that got bought out by AT&T, and AT&T uses Yahoo for email. I work in IT and deal with Yahoo customers/victims on a regular basis. Based on the level of service I've experienced with Yahoo (non-existent), the security (laughable), and level of advertising that even paying users are subjected to (shameful), I'm guessing Yahoo is the cheapest game in town and that's why AT&T (and now Cox) buddied up with them. I expect it will be like it is now for AT&T customers: you'll be stuck with Yahoo's servers, Yahoo's webmail, a Yahoo account, and all the hassle and middle-men and security issues that come with that. It's probably going to be awful. You'd be better off just getting a straight up free Yahoo account, except you'd lose your Cox.net address....in which case, best to just cut bait and go with a better email host in the first place.
