zarathustra Posted July 2, 2020 Report Posted July 2, 2020 Had a conversation with a college friend today after almost 8 years, we had some memories dating back to 2003 when we all went to a college trip to Kerala. Some of those memories, pics, conversations were all there in my very first Yahoo email address. Logged in today after I guess more than one year, realized all my data was deleted by Yahoo. Apparently they do that if you don't login into your account for more than one year, oh well too bad. Be careful guys, I didn't lose anything monetary but those memories are lost forever. Feels sad but I guess it's my fault for not knowing this end user agreement. Still pathetic on Yahoo's part for not even letting me know before they purged the data forever through my alternate email address which they had. Quote

Bhumchik Posted July 2, 2020 Report Posted July 2, 2020 Mail providers delete data after 12-18 months of inactivity. It’s normal. Yahoo doesn’t inform users but gmail has an inactivity manager (18 months) and they keep notifying regularly. Yahoo is a dead dinosaur Quote

Yahoo is a dead dinosaur Haha yeah that's why they don't even care anymore, they know they are going down the tubes. Just sucks that a lot of my memories were deleted too, at that time Yahoo was the most popular email service Quote
