They shouldn't be affected at all. Bell South is not part of Verizon. It's a separate Baby Bell created by the breakup of the old AT&T. Verizon owns AOL but it still exists. Verizon is pushing former verizon.net email accounts to move to AOL accounts instead. > For a time, about three weeks, POP3 download from bellsouth.net account was > very slow, and only one or two at a time. > > That made me switch three mailing list subscriptions to twc.com . > > There is also a freemail service at gmx.net as well as premium, paying email > account options. There are a variety of free web based email offers. I'm betting Yahoo's will go away, and possibly be mergered into AOL's offering. > Yahoo has been using an annoying CAPTCHA to get access to webmail or even > online help, with letters/numbers that didn't stay still but swam around, so > I couldn't solve the CAPTCHA.

My gripe back when was Yahoo's insistence on sending HTML email, even if you had configured Yahoo Mail for plain text. It was a problem for various Yahoo Groups that were explicitly plain text and didn't want HTML formatted mail. I have a Yahoo account, created as an alternate for testing, and one mailing list I own and moderate also goes there as well as to my Gmail account. If it goes away, I won't miss it. > Tom ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
