Yahoo mail . . . . unbelieveable!!!
I had been happily using Yahoo! mail for many years, but I am about ready to ditch it. Numerous outages for many hours at a time over the last days, weeks and months. :S:M

And what's really nice about those free email services is that they strip everything out of your emails of any use to them and try to turn a profit with it.
I'll just pay 50 bucks a year to be with a paid service and hope that maybe perhaps I have some slight privacy in my email.
I don't have a clue what somebody could or would strip out of my emails that would be of any use to them.
If the free service does this, what would make you think a paid service wouldn't? Sounds like a great conspiracy theory to me.

With most free services, you're not the customer. Try calling them to get help and see where it gets you. With free email services they mine your data to sell advertising, etc. and it's no secret.
Your paid for email provider will not do this as your the customer. The business models and TOS are quite different.
