I came across this when researching Yahoo Mail Plus.
Why? I wanted to dig in, once again, to the issue of "what happens to my Ameritech/SBC/AT&T email addresses if I cancel AT&T Uverse or DSL service."
I've had ATT (formerly Ameritech) DSL since (I think) March of 2000. Time and again I almost left because of the price-performance gap between what AT&T offers and what Cable can provide in my well-connected Chicago area. This time it is a no brainer: I can get twice the speed that ATT can provide over my wire pair for $11 less per month than the very best offer the retention folks could come up with; guaranteed for a year, with no contract.
Before I dropped AT&T, I wanted to make sure that I had POP access to my legacy Ameritech email address (I use Outlook), as well as support for the countless "disposable addresses" that I have created over the years. Time and again I'd read the various threads on the subject. Yes, my Ameritech address is accessible via Yahoo, so I was pretty sure "all was well." But the fail-safe was to purchase the $19.99 Yahoo Mail Plus.
So, I went to explore Mail Plus once again. New twist: it's going away. A very different "Ad Free Mail" product is being put in its place.
But: another new -- beneficial to me -- twist: standard Yahoo Mail is being upgraded to include:
(1) Disposable Addresses
(2) 200 Filters; and
(3) POP & Forwarding
Those are features, IIRC, previously ONLY available if you had ATT Yahoo or Yahoo Mail Plus.
Score!
