I have been using a Yahoo email account since the early 2000. So I have been a 10 years plus Yahoo user. Now, I am really fed up with Yahoo e-mail. I have had serious problems for the past 6 weeks.

1. Sometimes I can not access my account. It says that the Yahoo server is “too” busy.
2. Sometimes I can not load an email.
3. Sometimes I can not send an email.
4. A few times I have been kicked out of my account as Yahoo says that Yahoo server is too busy.

These 4 problems are now occurring every single day. It used to be once a week but now it happens every single day and I can be up to an hour or two EVERY DAY without being able to access and use my email account. So tell me why should I continue to use Yahoo?

Also, the automatic spelling corrector is a REAL pain in the ass for anyone who doesn’t want to write an email in English. If I try to write an email in French or Spanish, it automatically changes the French of Spanish words for an English word. I am truly fed up with such a poorly designed spell check software. And as far as I know, there is no way to turn off this idiotic automatic spell check. I want to repeat here how much of a frustration this automatic spell check function is for anyone who write an email in a language that is not English. It is irritating to the highest level.

And by the way, I WIL NOT GIVE YAHOO MY PHONE NUMBER. Did you get it?! I WILL NOT GIVE YOU MY PHONE NUMBER. PERIOD! Fuck off Big Brother Yahoo.

I will keep my yahoo account because I need it for a few things. However, starting today, I will migrate to a much superior email provider called GOOGLE. The Hell with Yahoo. Yahoo mail truly SUCKS!
