The biggest change to Yahoo Mail is the new interface and lack of specific features previously available. But for new subscribers, if you want its newly renamed “Yahoo Ad Free Mail,” it will set you back $49.99 / year. It’s also interesting to note that if you’re a current Yahoo Mail Plus subscriber, you’ll continue to get an ad-free email for $19.99 / year. Current Mail Plus customers can continue to use Mail Plus and can learn more here. It sure beats one of those annoying noisemakers.
