Following the problems with PPRuNe Email I changed to another email service. I did try Gmail and Hotmail but found problems with both. I eventually decided to use Yahoo.ca’s email service. It has been acceptable up until this week. Now I am unable to access my Yahoo email account. Yahoo wants intrusive private information, which I am unwilling to provide in these days of privacy problems. No wonder it is losing market share and being involved in failed take overs and mergers! Has anyone else had this problem with Yahoo email? Is there any responsible contact at Yahoo who will solve the problems?

Is there an alternative email service with worldwide access suitable for use by a pilot? I want one that is reliable and does not have this antagonistic and obstructive attitude towards its users. I do not like having to change again but it looks as if this will be necessary if Yahoo will not get its act together.

In the meantime, users are advised to avoid Yahoo.

Never had trouble with hotmail,yahoo,nor Gmail. My Hotmail account is like 15 years old. Maybe the problem is sitting on the other side of the computer.

Yahoo is highly monitered and filtered by security agencies. You are probably on some black list... :shock:
