Microsoft had offered USD 45 billion for Yahoo just a few years ago lol.

I would say Microsoft was lucky that they rejected it that time!

Is yahoo mail under shutdown threat?

 

[amish]

I hope not - I am using it as backup for lots of things. Although I also have replica on Gmail but I always prefer two backups on two different providers.

If Yahoo mail shuts down (which I doubt is likely) I will have port everything to Hotmail or so.

 

[SVK]

I have moved everything from Yahoo to Gmail. Only accounts are Ola and Uber which are still linked to my Yahoo email account. Ola has no option online to change registered email, while with Uber I guess something is missing as I changed several times to gmail, yet it retains Yahoo id only.

The new Yahoo Messenger

 

[amish]

Yahoo messenger on iOS is still a super mess.

I havent used it from 2-3 months but reviews on iOS show that it still does not show who is online and who is not.

So I have no idea - how anyone would use it without basic / first feature.
