Yahoo has always been shit.
How about this idea: Scan for spam, virus etc. Scan all my mails I don't give a fuck really, but don't give me ads depending on what I send/receive mails about. If I wanted ads I would.. Oh right, I don't.
Hasn't google been doing this from the start
>2011 >Still using Yahoo
I have a yahoo email account strictly used to prevent spam. Whenever I register for a site that I don't trust (which is 90% of the time), I use it in the registration. My main email is through gmail, which in my opinion can't be beat.
yahoo is horrible what do people expect?
Yahoo sucks at preventing spam my old Yahoo email account is filled with spam
We see you've been getting viagra ads in your email. So we're going to send you viagra discount coupons now.

My mum uses Yahoo, I just let her get on with it, I'm not giving up 4 hours of my day explaining this crazy Gmail thing to her

The Yahoo search engine sucks, the e-mail sucks, yahoo answers is sometimes helpful, everything else sucks.
My old yahoo account had over 100k spam. The account was closed randomly.
Who even uses Yahoo? I haven't used it since I was a kid and that was back in the days where I used all kinds of search engines, like northern lights. In fact, seeing that Google own Youtube, I'm surprised more people don't have gmail accounts. Google should really try pushing them more, coz that'll help Google+ get off the ground quicker.
