Inappropriate In-box and Folder Ad Mining.
This goes too far. I accept the Yahoo ads as part of the agreement, and cannot upgrade. But today, for the first time in 15 years of having the account, when I tried an email search for purple flowers, as I was trying to find the email where I had put a name to the flowers growing in the back yard - instantaneously, an ad appeared to sell me purple flowrs. More problematic, it was called Shopping - as though I was in the Shopping segment, which I never use. This cannot be part of what I agreed to. What if I searched for mastectomy in my email?

I will again note, too, that I have no Apps. I have no mobile devices. I use a desktop PC only. That searching within one's email should instantly prompt an ad for those words, has to be beyond any agreement, as this can be mining highly-specific personal information. I understand that this is occurring, regardless, and maybe I should be appreciative of the "reminder" that anything I write is then owned by the Internet world.
