I think this new upgrade is really a downgrade.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8156774 Mon, 06 Oct 2003 12:40:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8154877 txspike : i upgraded it when it first cam out and it really sucked! slowed thigns down, so i unstalled it and went back to what i had before. i Use eurdora or Yahoo mail and i have a pop up blocker and i have no need for the parent thing as no kids in the house. I have the old ver of the sbc and still have my muil. emails. Mine is fine.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8154877 Mon, 06 Oct 2003 05:52:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8153371 prosecutor : The funny thing is that the alleged "client," while nothing more than a link, did appear like a program in the add/remove programs database.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8153371 Sun, 05 Oct 2003 23:18:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8152155 jm : There is no Mail client for SBC Y, just a "link" that takes you directly to mail.yahoo.com to view email. For the spam problem, make sure your spam block is on, and if your using a mail client, make sure the download bulk mail folder is not selected. IF you select the SBC Y apps in the add/remove, you will be presented with options that you can the uninstall individual apps. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8152155 Sun, 05 Oct 2003 21:03:26 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8150542 prosecutor : My recollection is that there isn't really even a mail client, just a little web app to get the mail. I use I.E. 6 and Outlook and NONE of the SBC software. Their browser used to be a tricked up version of IE 5. If you use Win XP, another PPPoE client, or a router, you don't need ANY SBC software to use SBC Yahoo DSL.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8150542 Sun, 05 Oct 2003 17:35:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8149418 qdemn7 : I REALLY don't like the new Upgrade. I'm receiving lots more Spam, (about 3x) instead of less, and I don't like the fact that the whole thing is a package. Previously I uninstalled everything except the mail client. Now there's only SBC Yahoo Applications and SBC Yahoo DSL Activation listed in Add / Remove programs.

Question: If I uninstall all the SBC Yahoo Apps, can I just reinstall JUST the mail client, without causing any problems for my accounts? I really don't need the pop-up / anti-virus / parental controls, all I want to be able to have is multiple email addresses.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8149418 Sun, 05 Oct 2003 14:48:20 EDT
