By saving the old url and putting it back in I'm still on the old Blue Yahoo email which is far more lucid than the newer Purple one. Alas I didn't do that for Hotmail so don't use it anymore. You used to be able to click a batch of emails then delete the lot but that seems to have gone so they'll have to keep them all. Its probably hidden somewhere but I reckon its the computer's job to remember things for me, not mine for it. Like when they hide stuff in supermarkets I can't be bothered to go looking.
Anyway I thought the whole idea of these web freebies was to sell advertising alongside so why deter users?
