I haven't used Yahoo Mail in about 6 years and I don't think that old account
is even alive anymore. The expiry concept emerged some time later, which is
probably the result of SPAM that filled up unused boxes. The down side of this
is quite a disturbing one. Some people who do not check their mail regularly
are forced to log in (and be fed some ads) while on holiday. Some of them lose
entire boxes with unread mail simply because they forgot to log in. I think
that my mom was a victim of such loss.
I spoke to my sister the other day and it turns out that my mom is looking for
a new E-mail provider/domain. I was going to host one on a personal domain,
but then I fear becoming the E-mail support person (I no longer need to dread
helping with Windows), so I suggested the use of GMail.
