They have recently turned many of them to "enroll." :-( If you have a Yahoo account, go to My Yahoo then: �Select Account Info at the top right �You may need to type in your password �Select "Edit your marketing preferences" mid-way down the page �Enroll in what you want. Chances are, 100% of them are set to YES. Have a Hoppy Easter everyone!

Not that I begrudge them for charging for certain email services, but the timing of these two events makes me smell trouble at Yahoo! Stupidly desperate trouble at that.

I was just going to say the same thing. I am a little mad about the POP3 being turned off, but I guess that just means it is time to stop using my Yahoo account. Yahoo really probably didn't like P0P3. They lost quite a bit of money because people like me never saw ads because I used outlook and though they said they would send stuff, they never did. I really liked their service, but there are others.
