    Hospitality lawyers are also aware about Labour and Employment norms that one might need to understand under different circumstances. The experts’ assistance can help you get out of the related legal implications such that you stay calm and peaceful with regard to your employment. Any problem between an employee and an employer can be sought out with the help of attorneys who offer the right guidance and assistance to avoid any sort of financial loss. With the help of their experience, knowledge and their ability to think out of box can be taken advantage of in staying away from legal penalties that may be imposed on a victim.

    In the past several years, Yahoo has "upgraded" it's e-mail service several times. Everything that they have called an upgrade had been a disaster. Since I am saving a lot of files, I choose to start paying them for the storage a few years back. For about $20 a year, I can keep what I like. Recently, I was forced to "upgrade to the new Yahoo." In spite of the fact that I am already paying for the service, the autocomplete feature no longer works in the address bar. The place where a string of text is supposed to stop and start a new line doesn't work, and hasn't worked since the change. To repair the autocomplete problem, Yahoo says that I MUST download their toolbar. In fact, the service is so bad that I am on here looking at reviews because I am going to change services, even though I am paid up for the next year. I will have to export several hundred files to the new service. Run, don't walk away from these guys. They started out with a great program ten years ago and h... Read more

    Since January 1, 2012, I have had nothing but login problems. I am tired of having to constantly re-enter my user name and password. Once it has rejected your login information it continues to reject it now matter what. It could take 4 or 5 days before being able to login to check email. I tried calling them and they are always backed up with calls even at 6 A.M. PST. Their help page of their website is useless. I am looking to find another email provider so I won't have to put up with this garbage.

    Had a hard time logging in no matter if I used home or work computer. After login I got a frozen white screen. There is a lack of mail sorting options such as sort by sender. It used to do it but not anymore. I use juno now for reliability.

    Just about everyday between 11A and 1P EDT Yahoo! takes a crap for some reason. When this happens I can't come close to getting into my mail account. They suck!

    In my country, most of people is used Yahoo Messenger. So, there is an yahoo mail box is a common case. The UI of Yahoo Mail, very easy to use. I can manage my email in a simple way, setup some filters and move the email which match the rules to the Folder. I LOVE THE READING PANEL at the bottom like Yahoo! Mail.

    Yahoo mail is okay. Because my computer is over ten years old, I have the 'classic' edition. It's easy to use, but I hate that the emails aren't threaded.

    I've used Yahoo for years but then I made the switch to Gmail. I don't use the email feature anymore as my primary email (just as a backup address). The only things I use on Yahoo really is answers, groups, etc. The things I like are you can create aliases and change your @yahoo.com name. Disadvantages are sometimes poor spam filtering and loads slower than Gmail. But overall its still a great provider.

    I am using yahoo mail because it is a user friendly mail system. There are so many problems also, because when we upload a file that will take so many time comparing to other mail services such as gmail. Any way I am interested to take yahoo mail services for my daily mailing and other activity scheduling

    It's been terribly slow lately, there is a lag time for your cursor to appear and also a lag when you type, capitalization is often screwed up, it takes forever to drag emails into folders, you are often told to try again in 10 minutes when you access your address book, and it often takes awhile to even connect to your email. I hope it gets straightened out or I'm switching.

    I've been using yahoo mail for years, and I have a plus membership. Like Gmail, I use this to sign up to websites and as a secondary e-mail address. I also use it so people can keep up with me while I'm not home, like staying at motel, or while I'm at a friend's house. Both, I and my wife have plus membership to take advantage of the advanced spam filtering and more space. It works very well and I'm happy with the service, and I highly recommended.

    I have had no problems with my Yahoo email accounts. If I have trouble with the size of my attachments, I just use an outside service like Megaupload or Yousendit to host the file and email a link via Yahoo. Functions well, does what it is supposed to do. Clean and tight, zero complaints here.

    Appropriately Yahoo must be run by a bunch of Yahoos. With each new update comes new problems. And their customer service is non-existent. Then the final straw for me. For the second time in a little over three months I encountered a problem accessing my email account. It wouldn't accept my user name or my password, I couldn’t tell which. Following their pop-ups took me to their customer service (?) link where I had to email them explaining my problem. Three days later I received their reply stating I had violated their Terms of Service (TOS) and my account had been deactivated. The first time Yahoo permanently deleted several years worth of family emails from my account along with my entire contact list. Absolutely no warning or explanation as to the alleged violation and was told there was no way anything could be recovered. No one was ever able to define my violation, just that I had violated their Terms of Service and could request a new e-mail identity. In my situation Yahoo s... Read more

    I have had it for years; most of the time it has been reliable and fine; the last few days it has not worked at all; they try to make it fancy and all they do is make impossible to use; i have spoken to a number of people all across the country and they all are finding it not working; i wrote to yahoo and got a standard, we are working on YOUR problem but not telling everyone they have a big problem. at this point i'm simply going to change email accounts. its isn't worth the aggravation

    Good set up, except they keep throwing their new versions of everything at ya and with a slow internet connection that gets annoying. The worst thing about it is that it doesn't work with Outlook unless yo upay for it.

    Yahoo started out as a really great web based email client but after about 4 years the spammers seem to have found my email address and now I get 3 or 4 junk mails delivered to my inbox daily. Quite disappointing after having my account for so long.

    Although I've been a user of Yahoo mail for about 15 years, I think the power and ease of the service has been matched or even eclipsed by other services. Users can opt for the free email account, which is an incredible value, with virtually unlimited storage; spam filters can be taught to catch a great many of the junk email that initially makes it into your mailbox. If you choose an extension to the free service by paying for extras with "Mail Plus," you receive more spam filters and POP forwarding to your local email client, such as Outlook. However, Google's GMail offers pop forwarding, virtually unlimited space, and handy "conversations" views, which allow you to see not only the mail that originated from Google's mail server, but also your responses from your local client, such as Outlook. In Yahoo mail, mail that you send out is not reflected in the "Sent" folder on the Yahoo server, nor is it linked to any "conversations." And Microsoft's email rival, Live Mail for local mach...

    Yahoo! provides unlimited free email addresses, that are widely used for spam distribution. To limit the Web Space littering, Yahoo! admins introduced severe filters, causing my emails never reach my own wife account, since web links in my signature are considered as part of the spam. Also, POP3 option is available for additional fee.

    I have been extremely pleased with Yahoo! Mail over the years, especially when compared to other web based email such as Hotmail, which receives much more spam in my opinion. Of course there are advantages and disadvantages of both web based mail and POP server mail. The latter allows for unlimited saved messages and larger attachments; however, web based email allows for message retrieval from any online computer, including saved messages and drafts, and one is less vulnerable to email viruses. For a free service, Yahoo! Mail offers an impressive number of features as well, including 1GB+ of storage space, bulk and user created folders, mail filters, POP mail retrieval, and an automatic vacation response. One can also flag messages or mark them as unread. Finally, Yahoo! Mail has a printable view feature which results in clean hard copies.

    Spam protection and filtering are a joke - they are primative at best. Service is a joke; it is more like a machine intended to thwart inquiries. I have yet to receive a helpful reply. In fact asked why their 'do not display graphics' option was not working, I was told it was working as designed. Obviously then it was designed to display graphics regardless of its setting because that is what I was getting.

    Spam blocker is good, spell checker is good as well. There is a lot of room with 3gb. However, one can not search the Bulk (spam) directory! And they do not have an email address for suggestions.

    I switched to Yahoo! after bad experiences with iName (now Mail.com) and Hotmail. I have now been using it for about six years and it has been excellent. It doesn't lose messages, it doesn't show them to random others, like the other services. The new interface is slightly slower because it uses Java, but the good side is that messages now arrive in real time so you don't have to hit the reload button to see them. The spam filter is fast and roughly 90% accurate (it occasionally puts important emails in the spam bin, but it is worth that price to have the main area cleared of masses of spam). Messages are properly displayed in HTML and all downloads are virus checked. I will try gmail as well because I like Google's other products and it is good to have a spare secure email service to be on the safe side, but I intend to stick with Yahoo! and keep paying for the Mail Plus premium service to keep away the pop-up adverts and guarantee massive storage space so I don't have to waste time d...

    I like the spam filter, but they have been running ads above the opened mail that will not allow your mail to open until the ad runs its full time! two or three minutes at times. I have high speed internet with Win 98, an old IE browser that I can't update? I installed a Firefox browser and this problem went away! Now all I have to do is get my sound to work with Firefox. add plugins? But again they don't work with Win 98 oh well... I tried the Avant browser and Presto the slow email opener ads were back, but in the tools menu you can turn of video ads to fix this. The pop-up features window tipped me off to this... very helpful!

    I've used many web email services over the years (hotmail, excite, yahoo and gmail) and this one is my favorite. I find that the interface is easy to navigate, it's bug-free. and I get VERY little SPAM, which is why I like to use it for my public email address. In contrast, Hotmail is overrun with SPAM, and gmail has a fair amount as well. I found excite mail to be impossible to work with, I didn't like it's interface.

    Just like its name, this website is run by yahoos. My brother recently couldn't access his email account a few months ago, his email wouldn't let him in one day for some reason. His email account was totally lost and he had to create a new one. Today, I went to check one of my own email accounts on yahoo and discovered it wouldn't let me in. So I went to check and get a new password or something, and it told me my account was deactivated! Absolutely no reason or warning as to why. This company likes to delete people's accounts for no reason apparently. I refuse to use them anymore for email service anymore, you simply cannot trust them to leave your stuff alone! I wouldn't say this is a professional way to run an enterprise. And oh yeah, I used that email address everyday, but it wasn't my primary one, thank god.

    I remember the day that Yahoo! expanded to 1GB of storage space. That cemented it as truly a great service. Having used it since the days of 6MB, I find it to be a reliable and easy-to-use electronic mail service. You can create folders, and pull out addresses without leaving the compose a message page. Their new Photomail feature finally lets you embed pictures into an e-mail! The spam blocker is second-to-none and instantly dumps almost all unwanted e-mail into the easy-to-delete-from bulk folder. I would recommend this free service to anyone who wants a quality webmail account!

    I think yahoo provides a good free email account, you get 1 gig space which is a lot and they have great spam filters, hardly ever get any in my mail, goes to the bulk folder! Easy to set up folder so mail from one person goes strait to a folder, etc, really a good email to have!

    I have used Yahoo Mail for a long time and it is great. :) It's free, a large MB space, you can choose plain text or graphics email to send to others, emoticons in the graphic mail, and more. This also moves your junk mail to the Bulk mail for you to preview (to see if there isn't anyone you know had accidently been in the bulk mail section - this happened to me before) and delete. Much better than Hotmail!

    Definatly the best eMail service if you don't count gmail (since it's still in beta), now offering 250 MB of space and with the ability to use Y!IM once you sign up they definatle beat the others hands down. Also I've had absolutely NO DOWNTIME the whole time I've used Yahoo! Mail (3 years now).
