Tell HN: Verizon quietly deleted my YahooMail inbox after 1 year of inactivity
Hi HN, like a lot of people, I had an old YahooMail account which I was not using much. I logged in after many months to realize that whole inbox was gone. Looks like they have added it in Terms & conditions. But they didn't bother to send any notification to my primary/secondary email account or to my linked phone number. Of course I made mistakes too, and I don’t feel entitled to their service, but I am feeling terrible and never going to use any of Verizon’s service again. Just wanted to give a reminder to folks, if you have any old YahooMail account, please back it up, and/or login to it at least couple of times in a year. 3 comments on Hacker News.
