Starting from June 3, Yahoo is upgrading all users to new version of mail. Users will also have to accept the terms and conditions of new mail that scan emails to deliver target advertising.
This new version of Mail was launched back in December. Back in April, It also announced to discontinue classic mail. At that time, it didn’t mention anything about the the new terms and condition.
Now, Yahoo has started sending emails to all classic Mail users to switch to new Mail. It is also asking users to accept new terms and conditions and privacy policy.
“Beginning the week of June 3, 2013, older versions of Yahoo! Mail (including Yahoo! Mail Classic) will no longer be available. After that, you can access your Yahoo! Mail only if you upgrade to the new version. You should have received an email from Yahoo! letting you know that your account required an upgrade,” Yahoo explained.
If you think you are not comfortable with new Yahoo mail, Yahoo has given you two options. You can either download your emails to other email program using IMAP or close your yahoo account.
Yahoo is not the only company that scans users email to target advertising. Gmail is doing this for years.
