The maddening thing is that they used to offer Mail Plus for $20/yr, and it was eliminated in favor of providing those features to all users (good idea). So this new paid plan is much more expensive and offers much less value. It also seems kind of hard to believe that Yahoo makes $50/yr off of ads per user. They certainly are not pulling that in across the hundreds of millions of mail accounts they claim to have. Since Yahoo is getting the money up front and without the work and risk of selling ads, I would actually expect it to be priced at a discount versus what Yahoo would see from ad revenue.
