Yahoo Beta

Yahoo have been pushing users to convert to Yahoo Beta, but when I checked the conditions they said, in effect, that Yahoo could check all the content of any of your incoming or outgoing e-mails to identify what might interest you. I didn't like the sound of that, but was it happening before anyway? And I'm now (today) getting warnings coming up for some Yahoo-related sites but not non-Yahoo-related sites that the security certificate of the site is out of date. Could this be connected to the running down of basic Yahoo?

Uh oh, I use yahoo for my PinkAngel email but haven't been asked to change to Beta... Don't like the idea of them using content of e-mail for their own means!!

Sorry no useful info from me but thanks for sharing!

Hushmail doesn't do that. They give you privacy. So much privacy that they've appeared in some novels as an easy way to communicate without others listening in.

See www.hushmail.com for more on this service - and other than using them I have no connection to that site.

Thanks for that tip, Goodgulf. I'm certainly minded to move some things away from Yahoo, but some things like Flickr depend on having a Yahoo account.
