I also have a friend that is visiting in Virginia at the moment and her mailboxes at Yahoo! and Yahoo.ca are still both active and valid, (both 6.0 MB) and she's using Yahoo mesenger which is linked to the e-mail identity. I seriously doubt that portal will ever give up on competing with A O (Hel)L by turning off mailboxes and instant messenger services for anyone.
Yahoo has started charging for some services as I (vaguely) recall, but since they weren't ones that I ever use it matters not for me. Possibly POP3 re-direct service? I only use that mailbox in a browser as nothing important ever goes there so it would never affect me. -- Charlie in Edmonton, AB., Canada Mandrake 8.2 registered user 244963
