Someone asked why I still use Yahoo if I hate it so much? ...
I don't really hate it, although it can be a PITA sometimes & their "help" is no help at all. BUT
I got the Yahoo account while I was in the National Guard because the Army wanted us to have an account separate from AKO (Army Knowledge Online) which they used for OFFICIAL email communication with soldiers.
Just after I retired from the National Guard, the Army decided retirees would no longer have access to AKO if we didn't have a CAC card & access to a government computer on a government network.
I had to set up a "forward" file on my AKO account and the only other account I had at the time was the Yahoo one. I still occasionally (rarely) get OFFICIAL email from the Army and it goes to my Yahoo account.
As I no longer have any way to get into the AKO account to change the forward file, I *have* to keep the Yahoo account.
Plus it IS the backup account I use for PDML in case Roadrunner goes kaput again. I did finally get Thunderbird signed into Yahoo. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
