  • Romaq @Romaq@qoto.org (@Romaq) reported

    This "email" thing is too complicated. What server should I use? Hotmail? Gmail? Yahoo Mail? Is there a difference? Am I supposed to use the web for this? Is there an app? It looks like there are many. Which app should I use? Seriously... WAY too complicated for my taste. :(

    @yahoomail my Yahoo mail app is not letting me login and is glitching. You have literally no customer support, I emailed your team with no response. Am I at fault for sticking with Yahoo instead of moving to Gmail like the rest of the world?

  • JoeLeydon Joe Leydon (@JoeLeydon) reported

    Lately I have been having trouble adding url links to Yahoo mail and, more recently, cut & pasting from Word docs (but not Google docs) onto certain Word Press platforms. I am starting to think my computers are turning on me.
