the old expression " If it ain't broke, don't fix it."?

maybe Yahoo should be reminded of that.
They changed their user interface sufficiently to drive me to delete my Yahoo account.

so no more Yahoo email address,
no Yahoo messenger account
no MyBlogLog membership
[ the only things Yahoo owns I made use of at all. ]

I already changed my email address here on TR. Did that the day yahoo brought the new app online.

I have given them a while to return the functionality they removed. they wouldn't, so I killed the account.

I'm not a Yahoo user at all; I'm just wondering what they did to the interface that is causing you so much stress.

by jaqui

anymore, no more account. :D

but, since it was used for a lot of email list subscriptions, when they insisted that you have to have a "you are to stupid to know what you are doing" dialog box pop up constantly with no option to disable the danged things any more, they rendered the service useless.

Personally I like to open my Yahoo account from Linux using Mozilla. It warms my heart to see the ?You are using an unsupported browser and an unsupported operating system? message. Ah, it makes me feel like I?m sticking it to the man. :)

I did try the Beta several months ago and changed back in less than a week.

I still have the old interface for both my Yahoo account and my AT&T Yahoo web access.

I have been using Gmail as my primary web mail account for several years now, and find I like it better than any of my other web based email accounts.

only truly comes up when you do not have java or javascript enabled. :D

it's more about them making changes to their old version [ I refused to try the new beta, not interested in ANY of what they call "features" and I call bloat ] and with no valid reason removing functionality.

I contacted them about it the day they made the change, and after 5 days of waiting, to be told it will be looked at sometime, killed the account.
it isn't that hard to add old functionality back to excuse any delay.

Dear Microsoft Outlook Express customer,

You may have received an e-mail from us letting you know that Microsoft is planning to retire the DAV protocol that Outlook Express uses to access Windows Live Hotmail. In response to customer feedback requesting more time to evaluate alternative solutions, we have decided to postpone retiring DAV and we are investigating other alternatives for accessing Windows Live Hotmail via Outlook Express. This means that if you use Outlook Express to access your Windows Live Hotmail account, you will continue to be able to do so beyond the previously announced June 30 transition deadline. We will be sure to update you once we have additional plans to share and early enough in advance to help ensure a smooth transition in the future.

I had to laugh

Before you ask the only reason I have hotmail is for testing

No I don?t get Spam any more

since dav is a protocol for web access it makes sense that MS wouldn't want to use it. ]:)

anyone can implement an app using it. ]:)

Now that is just plain wrong Jaqui.

Everyone knows that M$ couldn't implement any form of app using it. :D
