Even if Gmail is ruling the email world these days, some people still use their Yahoo Mail account. If you are one of them, there is good news for you. Yahoo offers a paid version of its mail service that includes a number of new improvements. Yahoo has decided to replace its ad-free mail service with Yahoo Mail Pro. It is a subscription service that will allow you to have an ad-free version of your inbox on all your devices.
Yahoo Mail Pro cost
While Yahoo’s ad-free mail was available for $49.99/year, the pro version costs $3.49/month and $34.99/year. If you’re looking for a mobile option, it’s available for $0.99 a month or $9.99 a year.
Yahoo Mail Pro Features
Along with free Yahoo Mail, the Yahoo Professional Account promises to provide a premium email experience. Here are some of the features of the new version of Yahoo Mail that you should know about:
- Talking about the design, it has become less cluttered as there is much more space between the UI elements that you can customize using different themes and color layouts.
- Another feature of the updated Yahoo Mail is the new photo and document viewer. It will tag all attachments correctly so you can see all the ones you’ve sent or received to date. Side-by-side view is also available which allows you to simultaneously view documents and other attachments.
- The entire interface has been completely reworked which will load your screen faster even if you have a slow internet connection. The settings have been completely improved, making the search results more worthwhile than before.
- Yahoo has also made mail accessible to the hard of hearing and low vision. There’s better light sensitivity and support for the VoiceOver screen reader.
The free Yahoo Mail account will no longer support automatic forwarding
Although Yahoo Mail Pro offers many features, the brand has made the decision to alter the uses of the free account. You have decided to remove your auto forward feature for free accounts; Yahoo Mail Pro users will not be affected by this.
According to ZDNet reports, the feature was removed on January 1, 2021. Here’s what the Yahoo Mail FAQ explains:
“If your free Yahoo Mail account is set up to automatically forward emails to a third-party inbox, such as Gmail, those emails will stop being sent to the third-party address on January 1, 2021. You’ll still be able to see your emails emails into your Yahoo mailbox through your web browser at mail.yahoo.com or through the Yahoo Mail applications. Yahoo Mail Pro subscribers will not be affected by this change.”
You can get automatic email forwarding back by upgrading to Yahoo Mail Pro account which costs $3.49 per month or $34.99 per year. Alternatively, you can pay $12 per year to get the ‘Access + Forwarding’ option. Apart from that, you get many other benefits with your Yahoo Pro account, like no ads, faster performance, priority customer support, and not having to purge email despite how long your Yahoo account is inactive.
Yahoo mail support
The most striking feature of the pro version of Yahoo is that you will get instant customer support for all kinds of problems with Yahoo Sports, Finance or even login. Yahoo Account Pro is the only paid option that is eligible for Yahoo Help Desk with 24/7 access to live support agents. The representatives will get you out of the problem you are facing.
The highlights of the support service offered for the Yahoo Mail Pro account include:
- You can speak to a real support agent over the phone at any time.
- All your Yahoo account related issues will be properly addressed including minor ones like password reset.
- You will get a ‘LastPass Premium’ which is a secure password manager.
Yahoo Mail has been on the market for almost 20+ years. A number of changes have been introduced over time to make it capable of competing with its rivals. Yahoo’s professional account is one of those changes that can add to the reputation of this brand. However, if at any point you feel you don’t like it, you can switch back to classic mode using the settings.
