Thanks for the heads up. I tried changing my alternate e-mail address to webmaster@yahoo.com, but it wouldn't let me. So I changed it to uce@ftc.gov which is the ftc's spam mailbox.

I liked using Yahoo because I could change isp's and still have the same e-mail address. Not to mention the fact that you can filter junkmail before it even gets to Outlook via Pop3. I once tried reactivating my old isp e-mail after not using it for 2 years and I had 800 junk mail messages. At the time I was only paying for 6 hours a month, so downloading this many messages would have used up all of my time for that month. Since the isp had no server based filtering, I switched to yahoo. I would use Hotmail, but their Outlook support sucks (Isn't that sad). I'll give myrealbox.com a try. Any more that have filtering capability and that will still be here in the next few years?

Thanks,
Mark McCurry

I just moved my e-mail to myrealbox. They are saying besides pop en imap that soon they will have something to sync with outlook and ppc's

Now Yahoo will track you on non-yahoo sites. :roll:

Head over to http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html to opt out of that too.

Got to admit, they are trying every angle. Thanks for the heads up Ed. I'm wondering if we all continue to opt out of their sly ways to gather info, if it will indeed become a pay service like all the others seem to be going.

It is getting ridiculious. I need to set up a folder in IE's favorites just for pages to opt out of everytime I set up a new machine. Doubleclick, these two at Yahoo, http://opt-out.cdt.org/. It is nuts.

We should have a law that mandates anything but Opt-In is illegal.

Hey thanks Ed!

Let me add a few others that I found to the list (yes, I also have a recently-created Opt-Out Favorites folder):
