2. Yahoo Mail does not enforce SSL unless you choose obscure menu options: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&y=PROD_MAIL_ML&locale=en_US&id=SLN3610 http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&y=PROD_MAIL_ML&l...
- onli 13y agoNot having SSL as default is unfortunate, but the menu options doesn't seem very obscure to me. Turn on SSL is the correct name for the option.
- tshtf 13y agoThat is (Gear icon) -> Mail Options -> General -> "Turn on SSL"... Four mouse clicks through menus is obscure enough, and then you have to do the same on every browser. It should be enabled by default.
- NoPiece 13y agoIt isn't that bad. It really is only 1 click to get there. Mouse over the gear and click mail options in the drop down. You are now on the general settings page that has the SSL option. You don't have to do it for every browser; the setting applies to your account. But you are right, it should be on by default.
- justin66 13y agoCompared to the UI feel of Gmail lately, it doesn't sound all that bad. I'm seriously thinking of giving it a try.
- kmfrk 13y agoYMail TFA is also woefully unavailable to people outside the usual suspects of countries - which is something I don't really get for something as security-centric as an e-mail service.
