We’ve used Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail – and we’ve no doubt that Gmail wins the battle of user control. Unfortunately, not everyone shares our opinion. Sometimes, it just takes a good example to move people.<\/p>\n
Over the past few months, those who subscribe to our weekly InfoAve Premium newsletter (more a computer magazine , actually) who use Yahoo mail, have discovered just how darned frustrating it is when an ISP or mail service, decides its users are too ignorant or too unsophisticated to determine which emails they want and which they don’t. While it is true that Yahoo mail provides a Spam folder, whereby users can check messages Yahoo considers spam – it’s just a ruse. \u00a0Yahoo has been blocking our InfoAve newsletter based on content. Instead of putting it in users’ spam folders, Yahoo in its dazzling technology ignorance, has decided that InfoAve Premium is so dangerous that it summarily blocks our newsletter at server level. Of course then, the newsletter is just deleted and no Yahoo subscriber has a chance to view his\/her spam folder to read it and to mark it “not spam”.<\/p>\n
We’ve done all we can to assuage Yahoo’s foolish fears that our InfoAve Newsletter is just a great Windows tips and tricks newsletter – that there is not one darn thing in it that is dangerous to anyone. In fact, our newsletter has probably saved thousands of people from millions of dangerous sites and malware.<\/p>\n
Yahoo apparently isn’t going to budge. So if you’re an InfoAve Premium subscriber who is subscribed with a Yahoo address, PLEASE consider using another email address. You can be sure that InfoAve Premium isn’t the only mail you’re not getting – Yahoo continues to wonder why the number of visitors and email users it has continues to decline. Really?<\/p>\n
Yahoo’s censorship is not only ridiculous, it should be illegal. Yahoo Mail users? Consider using Gmail, where you control your own email and not some big corporation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
