I've had a Yahoo mail account for MANY years. Other than an occasional slowdown, it has worked great for me, and also my wife.
I do have a couple of other email accounts, including Windows Mail, Gmail, and one through the server that handles my website. www.donmasonmusic.com
I keep one very "clean" and one I use for on-line purchases and communications. If you have the Bellsouth one, you are SPECIAL to me!
