[78-L] test - to see if my g-mail really is...^

[Rodger Holtin]

I'd guess nobody pointed it out because nobody else knew it - or it didn't work.  I'm glad it worked for you, but when it didn't work as expected I gave up, assuming it was what they wanted.  That was two days ago.  Gear box was just a dumb decoration.  Nothing. That was using Explorer.  In Firefox I got the dropdowns, but they didn't work.  Same for Chrome.  I tried it again a few minutes ago thanks to your mentioning it again and it worked.  Upon re-login, however, it was right back to threads, as though I had no say in the matter.  We'll see tomorrow.  I am not overly fond of gmail, either, and I really don't want to leave ol' Yahoo for all the stuff I think I have saved here, but....

Have any other Yahoo users gotten any notices about contact addresses being removed?  They've done that, too.

Maybe this is the clue:
 Ad Free Mail doesn't have graphical ads. And it costs less than $5 a month to upgrade


For 60 bucks a year I wonder if you get more information, too.

"In no way does this excuse Yahoo's approach to its clients (we are payingfor its use through the ads most ignore). There is no justification for
them making unannounced changes and then not fully documenting them in a
Release Notes type of  publication as other software vendors have been
doing for decades."

It all sounds so familiar.  "We have to pass it to see what's in it."  Just like other diarrhea.

Maybe they'll wake up, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for it.

I'm surprised that no one has pointed this out yet:

- in Yahoo hover over the "gear box" at the upper right of the screen

- click on "Mail options" in the drop-down menu

- this opens the Settings window. Click on "Viewing emails" on left side

- in the first entry unclick "Enable conversations". Click Save on the
lower left of the window. This will restore all emails in a thread to
separate messages. Gmail has had conversations since day one but at least
Yahoo gives you the option of disabling it.

In no way does this excuse Yahoo's approach to its clients (we are paying
for its use through the ads most ignore). There is no justification for
them making unannounced changes and then not fully documenting them in a
Release Notes type of  publication as other software vendors have been
doing for decades.
