have been burned out by this Yahoo policy almost 5-6 years ago when it was (first?) introduced...
Did they introduce it that recently? I seem to recall it being policy over a decade ago. My memory is sometimes faulty however.
You should have your own copies of any important emails/documents/etc.
Would adding the account to a mail client so that it logs into the account via IMAP on PC/phone startup help or does Yahoo require a login via the web interface?
It's a policy that saves nothing but builds tremendous ill will. I would never trust Microsoft with anything now.
I'd argue that this is a good policy, if you forget about it and there are sensitive documents etc contained within the mailbox then it's probably a good idea to erase it after a period of inactivity...
I think it's a chore that most of us would not do. How about writing a script instead to login every x weeks and send you an alert email/text for that along with emails count?
