Since Yahoo now charges $49.99 for ad free email, I can only infer that graphical ads on the sidebar must be really profitable (or Yahoo has plans to put more ads everywhere) and that Yahoo does not really want to entice many users to opt for the paid plan. Of course, it could be that these paid users partially subsidize other features (previously out of reach) for the "free tier" users, but the pricing is really high and will be immediately be out of consideration for almost all users. I wonder how many new users would sign up for this (as opposed to those already on Mail Plus and grandfathered at $19.99).
