Annoyed with Yahoo!

[vik_thor]

Well, this is annoying...

Yahoo! is going to start charging for POP3 access, in about a month...

Question: (More for myself, to force me to think about it, but feel free to chime in with your thoughts...) Would it be worth paying $19.99 for a year, to retain the POP3 access to my Yahoo! mailbox, or should I start switching all my stuff that is currently coming through Yahoo to my Mindspring accounts...
Ya know, I don't even know what all of my mailing lists are coming through Yahoo right now. I've got them filtered so they go to seperate mailboxes for each list, pretty much.

I can understand why they are wanting to do it. After all, I've been using Yahoo mail for 3 maybe 4 years now, primarily as just a secondary email, not really used any of their other services. Well, groups and clubs... though that sorta is included w/ the mail...

Well, another possibility would be to get a freebies POP account on a fur-friendly server - catbox.com comes to mind. Talk to puma about getting an account; I know several LAFF members have accounts there.

Or just go with the other popular freebie service Hotmail.com.
