Yahoo Mail App on Windows 10
Here is a look at the message users of the Yahoo Mail app for Windows 10 received that one user posted on Instagram.
At the time of this writing, the Yahoo Mail app is still listed in the Windows Store but says, “Yahoo Mail is currently not available.” Also, according to OnMSFT, “a large number of users have begun reporting on Twitter that the app has already stopped working for them,” which suggests the company has already started the process of shutting it down.
While the message from Yahoo points you to use the web version of Yahoo Mail, you should also use another mail app like Outlook or the Windows 10 Mail app. For more on that, read our article on how to add Gmail and other email accounts to the Windows 10 Mail app. Yahoo had had several security breaches to its user’s accounts dating back to 2012 and most recently last year when it confirmed 500 million accounts were breached. The app doesn’t seem as though it was too popular here in the U.S. anyway. It’s not clear on why Yahoo is shutting it down, but one could surmise it has something to do with a lack of users and the company not wanting to waste resources on it.
