Yes, I'm sick of Yahoo. Sick, sick, sick of it. But, the reality is that I'm still trying to figure out how to LEAVE Yahoo, which is slightly more complicated than I'm prepared to deal with right now, so the path of least resistance is to simply stay and bitch about it.
Besides the fact that my Yahoo Business Email doesn't work on a regular basis, bounces emails right back to the sender with no explanation whatsoever, and bars access to my paid account by looping me back to my free account. It's ridiculous.
It sucks, but I am currently a Yahoo hostage, so I need to make the most of it. And if I'm going to use this lame email account, then I also might as well customize it with my personal signature, right? Sounds simple, but I swear, finding the pathway feels like crawling through a maze, hitting dead ends and cursing the absolute lack of user-friendly options.
Since I've actually suffered through this very maze several times, you would think I would have this down pat. Not so. I always assume that I'll remember next time....you know what they say when you assume.
So, after spending the better part of an hour doing this today, I decided I would post the directions for my own benefit, that I might actually refer back to this post in the future, thankful that I am saving myself the frustration and angst of reinventing the wheel yet again.
