What Yahoo Mail's own pages show
Suits
- People who want a free address with 20 GB of storage
- Clearing out newsletters and bulk mail quickly
- Managing Gmail, Outlook and AOL accounts from one inbox
Limits worth knowing
- The free plan shows ads. Removing them needs Yahoo Mail Plus at $5 per month.
- Auto-forwarding to another account is a Plus feature, and free accounts are limited to 3 temporary addresses.
- Only Plus states that the account will not expire, or its mail be deleted, after long periods of inactivity.
- The US App Store listing shows other in-app purchases with no billing period, such as a 100GB plan at $1.99 and a 1TB plan at $9.99, which the Plus page does not describe.
