Hello, What problems have you found with Yahoo? I have used it for 10-15 years with no problem.

Hi Bea The vast majority of spam around on the lists is coming from Yahoo addresses where the users address book has been compromised They are the most insecure email client around at the moment I was with Sky which used gmail until the end of March this year, as soon as I heard they were going over to Yahoo I changed everything over (80+ lists) and have had no problems I am in contact with a few who kept with Sky > Yahoo and are still having problems receiving all their mail I certainly wouldn't use Yahoo for anything like banking or financial matters I don't use web mail as I detest it, I use Thunderbird, very easy to use and I have it set to bcc to myself automatically so I get a copy of my own posts There are other ways to get a copy of your own posts but bcc was the easiest Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 22/08/2013 14:53, Bea 1935 wrote: > Hello, > > What problems have you found with Yahoo?

I have many C D's with stored files ( genealogy records) in format of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. Will windows 8 accept these files as is or do I need to put them in a new format; such as Open Office? I am getting a new computer with windows 8 and I did not get Microsoft Office on it. I need all the help anyone can suggest. Sue
