Yahoo classic mail acting up lately

10,670 4,255 March 18, 2021 at 01:29 PM
Does anyone else still use the Yahoo Classic email format. For the past week at least 50% of the time I try to view or delete something it hangs up and gives a blank screen. I then have to refresh the page multiple times to get it to work.

I am wondering if Yahoo is doing this on purpose to get me to switch to the newest Yahoo email which is better for them in tracking me. I know Apple was just caught doing that with older IPhones to make the user think the phone was dying and they would then buy a new phone. Peace

Yes...it is a pita. They aren't smart enough imo to do it to force people to pay for their premium service. Most likely it is their crummy servers acting up\lousy infrastructure. Besides, if they actually think people will pay for Yahoo Premium, they are kidding themselves imo as you can go get Proton Mail or other secure email provider for under 50 dollars a year.
