I saw Ernie had done some work on the new Yahoo sites so I thought I’d log in to check it out. Notepad was… a textarea. Calendar was cool. Contacts still had all the information I had imported 4 years ago, which I thought was pretty neat. When I went to the mail tab, however, I was greeted by this not-so-friendly notice:
Your Yahoo! Mail account is no longer active.
Why is my account inactive?
Yahoo! Mail deactivated your mail account because either:
- You have not logged into your account in the last 4 months, or
- You have asked that your mail account be deactivated
What does this mean?
- All emails, folders, attachments and preferences have been deleted
- All messages sent to saxmatt02@yahoo.com are being bounced back to the sender
- You can still use your Yahoo! ID to access other registered services on Yahoo!
- Deleted information cannot be recovered

I got tired of typing. I think everyone at Yahoo should be banned from using exclamation points for a month, even in their code. I hope I didn’t have anything important in that email account.
