Verizon has removed the ability to automatically forward incoming email post officey from Yahoo inbox to another email address for non-Yahoo users.
This operation will stop on January 1, 2021.
Yahoo Mail users who still want to use the automatic email promotion they should subscribe to Yahoo Mail Pro, which costs $34,99 per year or $3,49 per month.
Verizon announced the change at the beginning of the month and has now started notifying users via email.
"Αξιολογούμε τακτικά τα προϊόντα και τις υπηρεσίες μας βάσει των τρεχόντων προτύπων ασφαλείας και αποφασίσαμε να καταργήσουμε αυτήν τη λειτουργία για να διασφαλίσουμε ότι οι δωρεάν λογαριασμοί της Yahoo Mail θα παραμείνουν ασφαλείς", αναφέρει η company in one FAQ page published on October 31st.
Email auto-forwarding is often used by hackers who hack into email accounts and add their own email address to receive copies of all messages received by a victim.
However, the feature is also very often used by most users to pool their emails into a single account.
Yahoo says that from the new year, all email promotion rules will be disabled and users who want to read their emails should visit the Yahoo Mail website.
Yahoo Mail must have more than three billion users. Many have abandoned the company's services after Yahoo announced two major violations in the fall of 2016, one in September and one in December.
Personally, I wonder why these 3 billion users still choose Yahoo, after all that the company has gone through. I hope today's news makes many change email providers.
