I am giving up on Yahoo Mail. Something has happened with my Yahoo email that every enhancement to the program in the last few years has disappeared, like in this screen shot, 90% of the time.I gave Yahoo's mail support permission to access my account and they told me everything is working normally. Um, no it isn't.
I first picked a Yahoo email account back in the 90's so that I would never have to change it. Oh well.
A reader of this site was kind enough to send me a gmail invite.
My new email is roger.nusbaum@gmail.com. I have changed it for this site and will transition completely over the next couple of months.
If anyone from Yahoo reads my site (I know as fact at least one person does) and wants to weigh in or give me a little better help I am open. I would rather not change my email.

you might want to take the address off the site as I seem to recall their is software that searches for e-mail addresses listed on websites to add to spam databases
really?
thanks for the tip.
Roger --
I have yahoo mail & gmail. WSJ Walt & everyone else I have read basically said yahoo mail is still tops by a wide margin.
I couldn't agree more. If you go the gmail way, you will be disappointed. It seems to be about 5-years behind yahoo's mail.
The one exception is if you need the biggest size in-box. Yahoo is more user friendly, allows more user features.
Gmail has an annoying version of piling past emails upon each other.
I recommend checking out Walt Mossberg's recent comparison. Pretty much says it all.
sol, thank you but all the things that make yahoo five years ahead have disappeared, witness the screen shot, and no one at yahoo has any answers
Roger,
Do you see the same thing on different browsers and/or different computers?
Re: the comment about displaying your email -- there are bots that do go around and collect email addresses from website to add them to spam lists. That's why you'll often see bloggers diplaying their email addresses as images or like this myname-AT-domain-DOT-com...
