Use some form of off-line client (Thunderbird is one), and use this to grab all your mails and store an archive Locally, (you can then move them to remote online storage if you have limited local space).

It's possible that someone will take over the service but the old adage of "hope for the best and plan for the worst" is a best choice in this situation

Barman:

Can you recommend a couple of tolerable free web mail services to replace Yahoo if it comes to that?

Other than Google Gmail. I try to avoid Google for anything other than searches.

I use Yahoo only when I have to cough up a throwaway email address to someone and I don't want to give them my Thunderbird addresses for fear of eventually being spammed to death.

Yahoo is generally horrible, but it's bearable for occasional use. I have no idea what Verizon may have in store for them. They could eliminate email entirely for all I know.

Any recommendations for a sane, simple Yahoo replacement where I can have say 2 or 3 free addresses?

I've used Hotmail (now called outlook) for many years. I use it for my "public" e-mail address such as forums, registration for software, etc. Never had a problem with it. It gets a lot of SPAM but I have the SPAM filter set and it intercepts almost all the SPAM.

Thanks Jack.

That's this Microsoft product?

Microsoft account

Questions:

How many addresses does it allow?

Can you change them at will?

What are the aggravations/limitations?

Is the interface and configuration straight forward? That was the worst thing about Yahoo--very difficult to figure out how to alter your setup.

There is one I've used for a number of years - GMX - Not sure what countries it actually supports with TLD's but it dos have a .Com option and is well put together, (based in Germany originally)

www.GMX.com

Edit

It allows the use of @gmx.us for US users

I also have an Outlook.com address but tend to keep that for correspondence and other logins etc with Microsoft

I don't know about addresses, I only have one. If you already have a Microsoft log in (e.g. if use a Microsoft log in for Win 10) then that is probably what would be used with Outlook.com.

I got the account back in the Win XP days. I was changing ISP's (several times) and getting new e-mail addresses from the ISP's. The Hotmail address at least remained constant. Don't know if new accounts are different.

Hi,
Mostly irritating is the animated adds in your face all the time.
Switching accounts well new accounts security wise might be the second worst thing but I imaging switching outlook/ hotmail.com addresses is doable.

Gmail is a lot better zero adds and functions a heck of a lot faster seeing there is no animations going on
Large reading space opposed to limited outlook.com

Gmail also allows customization for desktop images you might like to use instead of a blinding white back ground in outlook.com.

I'm somewhat confused.

In 15 years I have had 2 ISP and both offered free email accounts.
So that is what I use.

Hotmail was replaced with Live. com way back when, and Live .com was replaced a year or two back with Outlook. Com

I understand that Hotmail and Live sites will eventually be closed, as even now the Outlook site handles all the past variations of Microsoft mail services as well as new users and those that decided to swap the old obsolescent addresses for the equivalent Outlook addresses.

I have many Live, (or Semi-Live - known by old contacts, but not actively used by me), Email Accounts, from many providers, and all are checked by my Main Gmail account, so I have one point of reference - I normally use the Gmail Web portal Though I do have both Thunderbird (preferred, as it allows me to use add-ons for specialist business related tasks (No. I don't spam ;) ) or Outlook 2016 for when I have major management tasks to perform.

I also use a number of re-direction / process rules to organise my often in excess of 3500 eMails each month

There is one I've used for a number of years - GMX - Not sure what countries it actually supports with TLD's but it dos have a .Com option and is well put together, (based in Germany originally)

www.GMX.com

Edit

It allows the use of @gmx.us for US users

I also have an Outlook.com address but tend to keep that for correspondence and other logins etc with Microsoft

what does GMX do

Hotmail was replaced with Live. com way back when, and Live .com was replaced a year or two back with Outlook. Com

I understand that, Hotmail and Live sites will eventually be closed, as even now the Outlook site handles all the past variations of Microsoft mail services as well as new users and those that decided to swap the old obsolescent addresses for the equivalent Outlook addresses.

I have many Live, (or Semi-Live - known by old contacts, but not actively used by me), from many providers, and all are checked by by Main Gmail account, so I have one point of reference - I normally use the Gmail Web portal Though I do have both Thunderbird (preferred, as it allows me to use add-ons for specialist business related tasks (No. I don't spam ;) ) or Outlook 2016 for when I have major management tasks to perform.

I also use a number of re-direction / process rules to organise my often in excess of 3500 eMails each month

can i transfer yahoo mails to outlooks

gmail account is fine but it dont have folder options which i dont understand why not

Use some form of off-line client (Thunderbird is one), and use this to grab all your mails and store an archive Locally, (you can then move them to remote online storage if you have limited local space).

It's possible that someone will take over the service but the old adage of "hope for the best and plan for the worst" is a best choice in this situation

That would be my suggestion, as well.
There are numerous alternatives, including gmail for webmail and several free/paid email clients.

Well......... I use yahoo mail too as a primary account. But I also have an Aol mail account. (Don't laugh). Its nothing fancy but gets the job done that I need. Its free and you can have multiple accounts.

what does GMX do

GMX is a free Email service and works in the same way as other services - It also provides calendering services and other information management facilities - Its all explained from the link I provided

gmail account is fine but it dont have folder options which i dont understand why not

Gmail fully supports a folder structure alternative that is based on labels, you simply apply the label you want to any mail received, (these can be automatically applied by the use of a rule or manually).

As the labels can be nested just like a normal folder structure it basically another name for a folder structure
