This may help other Yahoo victims

Years ago I started using Yahoo, and I am in so deep now that it would be quite difficult to extricate myself. If I am fortunate, I will be either dead or totally senile by the time I need to move on to another email provider.

Yahoo will not support downloading attachments above a certain size. What I have discovered, though, is that I can forward a Yahoo email with oversize attachments to my AOL account, and AOL will handle them just fine.

And please, Bob_Chicago, none of your comments. I said when I am <totally> senile.

I got my own domain and created my own email address. I also determine my own email policies. I use Ipower.com as my website and email provider and the cost is less than $100 a year. If you have your own domain, then you could forward yahoo emails to yourself. Once you have the people who contact you, give him or her your new email address. Eventually, you will have less mail going to yahoo, but the mail will still get to you .

I run into the same size restrictions with gmail and rr. I have MaxEmail to fax larger files but that costs. A techie turned me on to www.largefilesasap.com that you can email large files for free.
