If so, wouldn't those mails get stamped with delayed acceptance time and would have been added to the top of my mailbox on the order from which they were received? I am guessing that they were queued by Yahoo. But if you did see that your outbound mails got queued on your end that's a different story. You are absolutely right that they have no obligation to me for the free service. It is unfortunate that Yahoo is kind of defunct now. I wasn't too surprised that they bent their back under pressure from China. I often criticize China through Yahoo mails too. I have never been to China and probably will not in the future. David |
