      My mom uses Yahoo.

      The reality though.. this is probably happening on some level with every single US based provider.

      THe difference is either that Yahoo got caught or, as the articles suggest, that they happily cooperated and put in a lot of effort to aid in the process.

        And who exactly is still using Yahoo?

        Even Yahoo doesn't use Yahoo.

          Not like they could. It's like Apple doesnt run on Apple....because they don't make servers so they can't.

          Now what was shocking was that IBM didn't run on IBM.

                    Yahoo adding insult to stupidity: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-yahoo-emailforward-idUSKCN12A22Q

                    Yahoo Inc disabled automatic email forwarding at the beginning of the month, the Associated Press reported, citing several users.
                     
                    While those who have set up forwarding in the past are unaffected, users who would want to leave following recent hacking and surveillance revelations are struggling to shift to rival services, the AP reported on Monday. (apne.ws/2dKpUW3)

                    The short URL at the end of the quote goes to: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_TEC_YAHOO_BREACH?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULt

                        @nadnerB that's really the only way that they are going to get anyone to stick with them.

                          Well you're not really safe if your email is still routing through Yahoo.

                            Can't gmail act like a Pop3 client and go get the mail? So this really doesn't keep people from using another service like gmail.

                              Yep, gmail can pull mail from other accounts.0_1476189063534_chrome_2016-10-11_08-29-43.png

                                O365 does too. And any client like Thunderbird or Outlook would fix this too.
