An POP alert! OffTopic

[Denise R]

As per their message to users, Yahoo will be slamming the door on
Pop-Services.  That means that the only way you can read any account (such
as gypsycaine at yahoo.com ) is on their webpage for Yahoo! Mail, or pay the
fee that they want you to.

Of course, if you're an Outlook/Outlook Express user, and shuttle in your
email, that will affect you.  The mail will instead pile up in your on-site
account, and be counted to the 4 meg max of mail storage you're allowed to
have (or 6, if grandfathered in).

If you prefer reading and answering through OE like me, you may want to
switch your email addy to a Non-Yahoo! account.

Or you can their stupid fees?
