Back in the day, I used to love this service, and I don&rsquo;t remember the ads being intrusive at all. I wasn&rsquo;t a huge fan of the interface, but it was functional, so I didn&rsquo;t really care to switch to Gmail.</p> <p>Soon flash ads started appearing. Every time I sent an email, I would look at an ad in the sent confirmation page. Then Yahoo! &ldquo;upgraded&rdquo; their service to the New Yahoo! Mail. This was cluncky as hell, and now the ads are far more intrusive.</p>
