Default Re: YahooMail killed my years-old accout

Forget yahoo pro, I would only pay that fee just to have forwarding or pop3, since your old yahoo address is valuable. Gmail has tons of neat features, plus I get the feeling that they won't be deleting your acc't so quickly. They were after all, the first email system that recommended people never delete any email as well as give away one gigabyte of storage.

If you don't want to pay just for a forward account, then use FreePOPs, setup to automatically login and download your email to a desktop email (it acts as a local pop3 proxy), then set your desktop email program to forward all that mail to a gmail account.
You might want a separate machine dedicated for this.

Then in gmail you can see only the mail to that address using their powerful filtering to label it.

In your case, the filter would probably be
from:xxxxx@gmail.com and
contains the text: forwarded message
or
subject: fwd:

I would hope only a one-way hashed version is stored a la unix crypt(3), and then only the last four digits. That's the standard for the pci industry, I'm assuming?

melbourne it is actually the company that yahoo outsources their domain/dns hosting to. Just do a whois on any yahoo hosted domain, you'll see.

Did the wallet have money it in? It would be spooky if it did.
