Does it only affect Chinese members?

According to the news site Wired, Yahoo decided that Chinese users do not need the service because they are using other alternatives. They made an agreement with another company to allow them to run an email service. There aren't enough users in China, probably because people are using another email provider, and they aren't making enough money to pay for the server.

It's not affecting the United States. Is this something the your government decided maybe?

I have not heard any news of yahoo closing their doors in my country. Maybe it only affects China. But it is weird why they do that to China.

The Chinese would probably be introducing their own kind of emailing system. I do know that Facebook is not allowed in their country, too.

I have not heard of this news and upon searching, I have only crossed about a news about Yahoo being attacked by China unfairly. Well, I do not want to go in details but it has something to do with freedom of communications I believe. I also cannot confirm if that article was true, it was way back in 2007. Well, I have receive a spam message before that yahoo is closing and so I needed to provide some details so my account will retain. I did not give any information because I knew already it was just a spam. I will be searching more details and will see if this news is true.

I am not sure, I have not heard of this yet.

Atleast it is only the mail portion. I wonder what the deal is.

I used yahoo mail , I have not seen that notice so I believe its just for China . I love yahoo mail so hope it will always be available .

i am just used to all policies that only say no to mainland china,i don't now.maybe our compatriots just scared them by cheating behaviors over the years,but i still cannot have an idea on how people hazard anyone by mailing,let's wait and see

Hi it might be your goverment Blocking stuff that yahoo does Which might limted the money They make.it other countries Yahoo and other emai copanies Are freeer to do more things to Make money.

I haven't heard that but then again I don't read their news.

Hi Maybe Yahoo is just doing some maintenance repair in China so members can be served better. I don't think so it is about financial matters , Yahoo is been long here and already a established site. Might be all reorganization in the administration .

hello friend,i was also very surprised to hear the news that yahoo mail will be unavailable near future in China.i saw a notice,it said that alibaba was takeover of yahoo China,so as to thoroughly solve the long-term problems of the development of the localization problem. I think we use in the future is aliyun mail,rather than yahoo china.it will be a big deal.

Oh this is not good news. why such things happens with chines and Pakistanis.This is not good things to do. i,m so sad for this

Well, I think you are very wise to use other email addresses. Actually, for so many years, I have mainly used yahoo.com.cn email address. So this morning when I received the notification, I was a little shocked. I have to register another email address and make changes in so many websites. Because when I registered in those sites, I used @yahoo.com.cn addresses. I really could not understand why they are going to stop the service. But I have learned a lesson, in the future, I will try to use more common email addresses such as hotmail.com, or yahoo.com.

I use Yahoo email and I have not received such news. So perhaps it only applies in China. I also wonder what the reasons to be unavailable in four months time.

I do not use yahoo mail at all but during these days I discover that the gmail is so slowly,so is it up to the same reason?

I've used Yahoo mail as 1 one my addresses for many year and, as yet, I've heard nothing of this sort. I'm in England, so will hopefully be unaffected. Luckily, there are many other suppliers to choose from, but if it is the chinese Government blocking it, who will be next?

I am also using Yahoo email for many years. However, I did not receive such news as yet. Probably it will send later or it may not affect my country . I wonder why they take such a step to withdraw from China?

i remember several years ago,when i registered Yahoo,it promised will keep our album free and forever.But the truth is,one year after i registered in,it clean all th album only public notice on the internet.I did not learn the news and all of my cherished photos gone.it really make me angry.
