\"\"A few weeks ago Yahoo! announced that in June it will be discontinuing the last of its older versions of its Yahoo! Mail service. In doing so, Yahoo! aims to move its users to the new version<\/a> of the service for a better experience.<\/p>\n

While requiring the latest version is often a necessity to help users get the most out of their mail service, it can have unintended consequences that can potentially catch users off guard \u2013 consequences like not being able to access email accounts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many who use Yahoo! Mail may already have received an informational email and made the switch before June. We encourage those who haven\u2019t done so to do the same to ensure that you don\u2019t miss out on our OWC Tips n\u2019 Deals or OWC Hot Deals Blast<\/a>. In fact, as OWC Grant and I can attest, upgrading your Yahoo! Mail account is so easy, that you may have already done so without even knowing (or at least remembering) it.<\/p>\n

Have no clue which version of mail you\u2019re using? Don’t fret. Yahoo! will be contacting everyone who is using an older version with information on making the switch.<\/p>\n

So make sure you\u2019re email is all up to date so you can get the latest news and best deals from OWC. And as always, privacy is very important to OWC. You don\u2019t need to worry about OWC\u2019s lists contributing to the spam in your inbox; OWC has never and will never sell, trade, or otherwise provide your information to a third party or submit your information for another list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
