Strange, I received my notice last week of the increased storage amounts, but
nothing in it stated that they had removed POP or forwarding access. I just
checked and my options panel still shows that area. I'm on the .ca version of
Yahoo, not the .com. Perhaps that makes a difference?
I would imagine that if they started this, then one wouldn't be able to use
Yahoo groups in an e-mail context either. As far as I know, that hasn't been
removed either, as I receive several "Groups" like this as well.
Additionally this is the first I've heard of it. None of the other folks using
the same access, (on my Yahoo lists or other Yahoo subscribers, I know
personally) have noticed what you two are saying. <shrug> Can anyone point to
any official verbiage from Yahoo confirming that this has been implemented?
