When did they switch from forcing all employees to use Yahoo Mail? When I left in 2015, they had disabled POP for internal mail, so we were forced to use the actual Yahoo Mail website.

I left in 2016 and in practice we just didn't use email at all because it was so painful to use.

I heard from a friend internal YMail would have ads too because the YMail team needed to test the ad product of YMail... which is kind of ... eh.

I had to communicate with sales constantly (worked on the front-page ads team), so email was essential, unfortunately.

What kind of work did you do that didn’t require email?

We mostly just used Slack/HipChat instead.
