"Yahoo!" or "Oh damn!"?
Yahoo! has a new look and feel, but I may never go there again because my free Yahoo! Mail account has gotten to the point where it's unusable. Yes, I did catch Yahoo's sneaky policy shift a few months back and clamped down on that. Even with their Spamguard service, my account fills up -- literally, the entire 6 MB quota -- with spam in the "Bulk Mail" folder so quickly that unless I clean it out weekly, it's useless. And Spamguard still lets about 10-15% of the spam through into my Inbox.
I'm at the point, where I'm going to have to scrap my Yahoo! account that I've had for around five years and start fresh with a new username.
UPDATE (07/23/02): In one week my Yahoo! account received 236 spam emails (230 filtered successfully to Bulk Mail, 6 that slipped through), consuming 37% of my account quota. Ridiculous.
