The Yahoo user is the one GP is referring to. The "free mail server" in question here is Yahoo.

  Pretty sure that "you" in the second sentence refers to the OP, which is the most natural assumption considering that the first sentence started off with "not much sympathy, really" without specifying who. Hence my reply.

    I read that as a generic "you", similar to "one".

      To be clear: I wasn't referring to anyone in particular by the word "you"; I could have said "one", but to me that sounds poncey. I was addressing people here (in a rather preachy way; sorry). I was explicitly critical of Yahoo's limitations as a mailserver. When I ran mailservers, Yahoo was the biggest enemy - they rejected mail, and they sent huge amounts of spam. [Edit] Wrong, Hotmail was much worse than Yahoo. Sorry, Yahoo; I guess you were one of the good guys.
