1. If I have a .com.au I can download my mail via POP for free. But because I’m a long-term customer I am penalised by being charged simply because I have a yahoo.com email address. I have repeatedly emailed support regarding this bu I get no reply. I expect the same here but I hope I am pleasantly surprised.

2. Why do I have to hit shift-m to check my non-yahoo accounts within yahoo mail. Why can’t it be (optionally if needed) set up to AUTOMATICALLY check all accounts, not just the yahoo one, both on startup and on the regular refresh cycle?

3. A few years ago we had the option of setting yahoo mail as the default mail program for windows, so that when an email link was clicked, our yahoo would open and the address (and subject) were populated. This was removed a few years ago. Although there are online help files telling me that if I simply install Y!Messenger I will have this option restored, it does not work! I have tried, both on XP and Vista, in both IE and Firefox (I prefer firefox!) yet none of these work. My mother has recently got her first POC. It was new, and therefore came with Vista. I quite like it (its no worse than XP was in the first year when we were all used to Win98and none of the drivers worked on the NT architecture!). I have set her up with Y!Mail, and have shown her both the online/web and download/POP versions. She and I bth prefer the web version, mainly for its security and virus scanning (files aren’t loaded to the PC by default). HOWEVER she is getting the cranks because she needs to cut & paste email addresses from web pages to yahoo. When this is someone who has NEVER owned a computer of any type since the Tandy/RadioShack TRS-80, you can understand the level of frustration she is going through just learning the basics we all take for granted – cut/copy/paste etc. PLEASE FIX IT! Surely it can’t be THAT hard. Geez Yahoo – you share advertising networks with Microsoft here in Australia (and may soon be owned by them anyway!) surely they can licence your email to be one of the default mail programs within XP and Vista!

Getting off my soapbox now. Looking forward to your replies.

Cheers

1. I can’t access the mail that I pay for on my mobile device because yahoo business mail accounts are tied to free accounts. I can only check the free account.

2. I can’t have both a forward turned on and POP access.

3. No push email services/ex
change server functionality.

4. Such a hassle to switch back and forth for spam protection and settings between classic and the new version.

5. The spam guard is HORRIBLE. If I send an email to someone and they reply, their email ends up in my spam box 90% of the time if we haven’t emailed before and I didn’t mark their message as spam.

Ugh. Please make it end. I haven’t switched yet because then I also have to move my domain hosting. So annoying.

I skipped the video and read the transcript. Question for you Ryan… from what you know and in light of Jerry’s vision for Yahoo, Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Go, will (or is) the look and feel of Mail and Go open for mimicking (for UI integration purposes) by third party applications/frameworks? I am a heavy Yahoo Mail user (personal and business). Keep up the great work!

I’m pretty sure if it is not done soon I will migrate to google, simply for IMAP even though I love yahoo web based interface a lot better

For a few days I have not been able to download my e-mail. I can use the internet but not my mail.
Please advise asp as I have business mail I need to retrieve.
