Where is everyone seeing or hearing that yahoo is
discontinuing free POP3 email service. I've been with
them for 2+ years and hardly ever get a junk email. I
use yahoo email for just my Tech lists and that's the
only email I receive. I would think that yahoo would
contact me about this? just my 2 cents.
