I helped a person get back into their yahoo mail account and the web interface showed auto playing video ads with sound. I recommended they get a different account or at least use IMAP to check mail, but they were not interested.
I was scrolling down the comments to see if someone has this problem...they lost my mail too. No way to recover it then, huh? This is sad.
Incidentally, they've also lost all my mail from before year 2001, when I actually use them for personal communications, meaning all those emails are now lost (well maybe I have a backup somewhere...). What a fucking useless company.
