Time to Ditch Yahpoo Email

Well Boohoo!, it’s been a long fruitful relationship the last 7 years of using Yahoo’s service.

But I’ve finally hit the limit (15) on the email filtering to folders. I’m sorry, but I’m just sick and tired of re-arranging, unsubscribing/resubscribing just to work within your 15 filter limit.

Hey Yahoo! don’t be a ME TOO company, instead of 2GB of diskspace how about maybe like “20 megs” of filters? That should take me up until 2038 before FUD sets in again!

I subscribe to more than 20 different email lists now, and I don’t think I should have to pay for more.

I liked your calendar, but honestly. I don’t use it anymore. SMS notifications were getting expensive with my cell phone.

Also, you’re notepad was useful, but I don’t really need that either.

Of course I will export my addressbook (which you also know too – I should’ve thought of this earlier – sorry friends, family, and foe).

Too many false positives with your spam filtering was a turn off too. Hey, I know you’re not perfect either

Good luck! May the evolution continue.

    Second: Switch to Gmail, my friend, it’s worth it. Shiny, too *_*

    *feels like an advertisement* Okay, I’ll shut up now. I’m loyal to yahoo, even though it sucks, but eh, it’s where I got my first e-mail address. Got a nasty virus from it though.

    the two show stoppers for me are:

    1) blatant spam getting through, ie – viagra & lottery
    2) 15 limit on filters
    3) round trip takes awhile with http instead of gmail’s xmlhttprequest
