Hi, Yahoo/Rocketmail doesn't require me to sign up to be constantly geolocated via a tracker/mobile. To continue using old Yahoo/Rocketmail accounts with Evolution or other email clients, users only need to replace their old passwords, by passwords generated by Yahoo. I'm using one Yahoo and two Rocketmail (Rocketmail is Yahoo, too) addresses with Linux desktop PC email clients, one of them is Evolution and I don't own a cellphone at all. While I don't advocate for Yahoo, one of the reasons is that you nowadays likely need a cellphone to sign up, in all fairness speaking, you don't need to pay for it, at least not with money or by providing other data, than everybody provides anyway by email headers whatever ISP is used or the message body of unencrypted emails. Most free as in beer services and all solutions you need to pay for, as yours, require to provide at least to give away some private data, either a cellphone number or bank details. My latest email account doesn't require to give away such data: "[snip] We do not require you to sign up with a phone number or personal information. Instead, we rely on invite codes. [snip] There is no such thing as free email. Services like Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo make their money from surveillance: they build a profile on your behavior and your desires and then bombard you with advertising specifically targeted to you. Riseup is different. This service is a labor of love by activists like you committed to building movement-run and secure alternative infrastructure. The Riseup email service takes a lot of time and money to keep running, and is funded entirely by small donations from its users. Please do your part and contribute today." - https://riseup.net/en/email Btw. I don't see any advertisings when using my Yahoo accounts. They do not send emails with advertisings. I neither use a Yahoo app, nor the web interface. However, they much likely watch my traffic and much likely even spy email bodies, as the payed services by Telefónica Germany GmbH & Co. OHG I'm using most likely do, too. At least some of the bills where wasted with advertisements and from time to time the company is taken over by another company. When I signed the contract years ago the company's name wasn't Telefónica.
