Yahoo Mail sucks so much. The bastads should be hanged till death. Fuck them. Why are there ads in Yahoo Mail? Works very slow even with my fast connection. Motherfuckers!

The new yahoo webpage. Such a wonderful thing. Now it has MANDANTORILY changed to make me answer a question about ADDING a new webite…BEFORE I can even use Yahoo.

Who are the idiots who are designing this new “improved” website.

And, my questions to them resulted in this reply:
Quote “Hello RRR,

Have you ever had Google screw you over due to variances in your AdSense account? They dropped my account with NO explanation, won’t return emails, and i couldn’t get through on the phone. What, don’t they have Android? I also had an AdWords account for a while, but I ended up paying Google nearly 5 times the value of what I made BEFORE expenses. Google’s model for internet advertisement comments only benefits ONE company reliably and consistently: Google itself. And I’m surprised that people / customers put up with this sort of treatment. And they want me to use their products. Arrogant Google at it again. I wish I could go to the Googleplex right now and talk to somebody about my situation?

I am going to switch my email over to gmail today. I’m trough with Yahoo. I noticed charges for a local listings and web hosting account I thought I closed almost 2 years ago – they were able to charge on my EXPIRED credit card (thanks Wamu/Chase for looking out for the CUSTOMER!!)…. it took 5 phonecalls over 2-1/2 hours on hold to get my accounts canceled and they would not refund me any money. They do suck….

OH! and Bing kept interrupting my craigslist posting – as I was attaching photos Bing would suddenly appear, effectively deleting my work so I’d have to start over and over…. I am going to block Bing from my desktop.

I hate yahoo from the core, my first email account was with hotmail & a few years later when i signed in for the gmail account, i got a free gmail email delivered to my hotmail, thence i’ve been with gmail. Its so smart and cool email client. No friggin flash ads or shitloads like that you have on yahoo. I had an account with yahoo for my messenger, but strangely nearly after using it for 6 years they deleted it saying some “violation in TOS” WTF??? what did i violate. i wrote back to them but never got a reply.
I just cant stand the idiotic yahoo mail client, its so fucking disgusting. all sane people around the world should quit yahoo mail, that way yahoo will know its worth.
Same goes for yahoo search. Both yahoo and microsoft’s Bing are the shittiest search engines.
Let them ROT in hell
AMEN

> They deserve to be bankrupted and just vanish…

Sadly, the fact that this does not happen speaks not in our favor. They have been in business for decades, do exist, and even prosper (their stock grows). AOL also still exists, Experian still lures people with “free credit report”, Video Professor still offers his wisdom “for free” and able to pay for his airtime, etc. etc. All this means that most of us are, sadly, morons.

vadim — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:53:31 +0000

for such cases, you can get Paypal plugin, it allows creating temporary credit card that you can deactivate any moment. Vvery useful when dealing with types of AOL, Video Professor, all these “CD clubs”, and other thieves.

The law is harsh for a kid who shoplifts a candy, but these corporations steal from thousands of people for decades without slightest risk.

Yes I hate yahoo mail with a passion they keep adding stuff like chat and your contacts and it just gets slower and slower. And don’t get me started on those annoying animated banners that you have to wait to load with every page you open. I want a basic email service that works fast not some web 2.0 site with all the bells and whistles that take for ever to load. Wake up Yahoo don’t you realise you are slowly dying.

I made a big mistake signing up for Flickr. I should have backed out when I saw that Yahoo was the owner.
But I needed to safeguard my private photos and 24 dollars for unlimited uploading seemed like a fair deal.
I uloaded a couple af hundred pictures. It took ages, even with my high speed broadband connection (I think they have made it slow by purpose).
Then for some reason af few days later I couldn´t login with my YahooID. I wrote it down immediately after I signed up, so what happened?
I tried to get a new password which is fairly simple in Google, Facebook and whatever.
When I signed up Yahoo asked and got a secondary email adress, and could just send the new password to this adress.
But they wont give me anything since I cant remember the birthdate I signed up (I dont give internes companies that sort of private information).
STATUS: I have paid for an account – uploaded hundreds of private photos I cant acces or delete. And Yahoo wont help because I dont remember the birtdate I signed up with: Pure crap company.

I’m trying to get Yahoo to give me access to my account. My account is 5 years old and unfortunately for me I cannot answer enough of their security questions — I’ve went through about 20 zip codes that I’ve lived in or near in the past five years.

I’m not sure if someone got into my account, but the password is changed, the zip codes aren’t any I know — I’m not sure what to do now!

Well I just wanted to add that yahoo mail really sucks.
How can some people still use it, that’s very strange.
They ask money for the features that every webmail has for free.
They look horrible, and they have 2 versions at the same time – when you use advanced, you still have to go to normal version to change your options – that’s ridiculous.
They suck

On those occasions that I am being unfairly charged on my credit card: as soon as I realize that an unfair charge is being levied (such as AOL did to me), I immediately call my credit card company and report the card stolen.

Of course, you will be without that credit card for a couple of weeks while you wait for the new one to be issued, but at least you’ll know they can’t make any more charges against it.

I just don’t get how they get off asking for a credit card & your 3 digit security code to grant access to your child having an account. They call it an “age verification” process. How is THEM having MY cc info going to prove that my child has adult permission to have an account? How many kids are we forcing to sneak their parents info only to have it used in ways it should not be. They say they will not charge you….but then again they also have drilled us for years that they will NEVER ask for any personal info like that. What’s up here!?
