What totally enraged me about this is that the policy was apparently introduced long after I created my account. At some point when I switched to Gmail, I set up yahoo to forward to it. This worked for years. Then this policy kicked in and from one day to the other, the Yahoo account was deleted. No warning was sent to the Gmail address beforehand. There wasn't much going on on the Yahoo account anyways, so I only noticed it much later. I have an old YouTube account that I signed up to with that yahoo address that I can't access anymore, and not do the recovery process because email.

Easy, just recreate that Yahoo account right? Wrong, to suck even more, yahoo now only offers new Email accounts on their .com domain. Mine wasn't on the .com domain. But existing accounts on the other domains still work fine, so they need to keep up that infra anyways.
