Question by Steve: Yahoo mail vs Gmail and imap?
So, now that gmail supports imap (for free), why should I bother keeping a yahoo mail address (beyond the pain in the butt it would be to notify everybody of my new email address)?

Well, I can’t figure that one out. I corresponded with Yahoo! support over a month ago about free IMAP support.
Best reason to have IMAP is when in a location where no Internet service is available. You can write messages off line and read messages retrieved earlier.
Yahoo! was forwarding it to executive board for consideration ie to provide free IMAP service.
Not heard a word. Only problem I have is the pain in the butt to get all the emails forwarded to GMail or my old ATT accounts (which offer IMAP) and keep them sorted into all the folders.
From my perspective Yahoo! has Yahooed! themselves out of time.
I am making the painfully slow switch to ATT. Maybe Gmail too after I find out how difficult it is to move from them and if it is as easy as moving to them.
