But, no more, they have just "improved" it to death.
Here's the problem. Unlike most email providers, Yahoo! announced recently that they are recycling email addresses. I'm not sure how long they are waiting to recycle, but there have already been complaints. Apparently the new person can get emails meant for the old email address with the result that strangers may be gaining access to personal information. Sorry, I don't have a website for this information, but the problem has been discussed on some of the group manager forums.
