I have used a Yahoo email account for 20 years. In the last few years things have got flaky. A handful of emails (in and out) have been deleted by Yahoo, seemingly at random. For example I had some important business emails with time sensitive data go missing from both in my outbox account and the recipients' inbox account within about 2 weeks of sending. Some random dates have been assigned to old emails (some for dates in future...go figure...). A month or two ago I got a general message from Yahoo suggesting that they delete all old emails in my inbox from everyone except my top 10 most used contacts. (I didn't take that offer up, strangely.) I now get crumby "amazing video!!!" imbedded players in my spam and trash pages when I delete everything in the folders. The banner ads are getting larger and more intrusive. I know from the press that Yahoo is in financial trouble. I guess offering to delete emails is a way of Yahoo freeing up server storage and save them storage/costs. I wonder if Yahoo might go bust. If it does go bust, will another provider buy up the email service? I have 19,000 inbox emails and 21,000 outbox emails and I search them for old documents, facts, transaction information, passwords, phone numbers, etc. If the emails are deleted I will lose about 34% of my brain function. I am not sure I can face opening an account with a new provider unless I have to. It is said that people are more likely to get divorced than change their bank. It must be something close to that for email accounts. I'll do it if I have to. Will Yahoo go bust? Should I worry about it? Should I take precautionary steps (and what might they be)?

just lol if you post here and use 'free email' services, christ, what next AOL not giving you enough free hours of dial up? export that tangled mess of emails to a PST in Outlook, and either keep it attached as an archive or (worse option) import it into a real Office 365 email account with your own custom domain $4 a month, and you'll never see any ads, get a clean, clutter free webmail (or use your own email client), exchange level controls, and good spam filtering update any services that use your old email, watch your old yahoo for 6 months for any leftovers, then delete it i did a migration for a 30+ office a few months ago in the same situation, and they had preprinted marketing material with @yahoo.com email on it (tacky as gently caress) and now they are happy as clams, couldn't imagine doing any business oriented using yahoo services

anyone who uses e-mail for "time sensitive" information and professional work should just set up a mail server or pay for their e-mail service

To celebrate her one-year anniversary, her team sent a companywide memo, which technology reporter Kara Swisher, who runs the Web site All Things D with Walt Mossberg, got hold of. The memo encouraged employees to thank Mayer “for everything she’s done for Yahoo” by clicking on a link that read “yo/thxmarissa.” The messages (which ranged from “Thank you for epitomizing the values of a Yahoo superstar” to “Marissa, you rock” to “Best CEO I ever worked for”) were collected in a book that featured photos of Mayer—wearing a red shirt to address a sea of purple-shirted, mostly male engineers; conducting an interview with Barefoot Contessa food guru Ina Garten; and more. “Yahoo! thanks you, Marissa!” reads the spine of the book. Mayer then had copies of the book sent out.
