Yahoo moves from Mail Classic to new Yahoo Mail
Posted by Olumide Samuel on 4:25 PM
According
to info and obvious evidence, Yahoo has moved from its old classic mail to new Yahoo
mail today 3rd of June, 2013.
The new
Yahoo! Mail according to reports and its term of service will utilize Gmail’s
method of serving ads related to mails received by a user to improve quality of
ads served on Yahoo! Mail.

| You're invited |
The
statement read:
“By clicking the button above, I certify that I have
read and agreed to the Communications Terms of Service, and Yahoo! Privacy
Policy. To deliver product features, abuse protection and, if applicable,
relevant advertising, Yahoo!'s automated systems scan and analyze all email, IM
and other communications content. Shortly, your current version of Yahoo! Mail
will no longer be supported so you must switch to the new Yahoo! Mail soon or
review Yahoo! Mail Help for other options.
To opt out of interest-based and contextual-based advertising resulting
from scanned and analyzed communications content, click here.”
Yahoo over
the years have lost the mail market to Google Mail (Gmail) due
to a better service from Gmail. Confession: I’m a party to that.
We’ll soon see how this change
will affect Yahoo! Mail. But there are already complaints about users’ privacy
regarding the new change. My complaint is that Yahoo! Mail wastes my time by
bringing up captcha after inserting my username and password.
