They did it to me a couple years ago. The home page is Yahoo! for my account now even though my original account was at pacbell.net, but of course I never use that home page. :)
What I really hate the most is their damn web-based e-mail has ads splashed all over the place now. They just started the ad crap last year. I wrote and complained that since I was paying them to be my ISP, I did not want ads. They basically said "Too bad, we need the additional income money." So I only use the web-based mail when I am not at home. att.net pacbell.net sbcglobal.net flash.net nvbell.net prodigy.net snet.net swbell.net bellsouth.net Were all changed to Yahoo for their Email.. -- JRS [email protected] Facts do not cease to exist just because they are ignored. ________________________________ From: DHSinclair <[email protected]> To: Hardware Group <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 12:36:12 PM Subject: [H] EMail opinions? I use xdsl from AT&T via BellSouth.net. I rcvd a notice that AT&T wants to MOVE me to their NEW EMail/Webpage/Whatever service. OK. I just finished re-identifying myself via their NEW login frontend............ Anyway, it seems that AT&T is moving all of its' EMail business to Yahoo.com. Personally, I suspect they need the bandwidth for their new TV service; but I could be so wrong! The two new email ip's I now have for POP and SMTP are Yahoo and located in Sunnyvale, CA. Kinda fer away for a pooboy in GA! Funnier still is that NeoTrace tells me my route will be: Chattanooga-New Orleans-Nashville-Cleveland-Philidelphia-?Virginia-Sunnyvale..... (I suppose the ?Virginia node is the NSA for now!) I will deal with local futz about Eudora/TBird to use this new service. I use POP ATM, but, may try SMTP for the added SSL security (if there is any?). Both Eudora and TBird seem to do SMTP.......... I think? Right now I am looking for opinions of others that use Yahoo for EMail............ Before I start this conversion. I do so know it will not be clean and tidy! LOL! Thank you very much, Duncan
