Ok, for those of you who are just as infuriated at Yahoo for putting that in-email-chat BS in, I have a treat for you.

First, the disable steps:

1. Open your email and look to the left-hand side, under your generic folders, but above the ones you’ve created yourself.
2. You will see a Box labeled “Chat & Mobile Text”.
3. Under those words you will see “I am” with a status and pull down box.
4. Click the pulldown menu and select “You are signed out of Chat.”

There, you’re out. Now, how long that will hold before resetting itself I have no idea, but for a while you are free of it.

Now, to the good stuff. Below is a link to the page where you can contact Yahoo’s technical team – and complain your asses off at them! Just click the first link in the list, fill out the form, and send it to them.

Now, I also have the Yahoo Customer Service Number: 1 866 562 7219

When you call, don’t push any buttons, just wait and it will eventually transfer you to an operator. Then, you can tell them how much you hate this feature with all the horse piss and vinegar you can muster!

Good luck, and have fun with this.

Gladly I have no idea what you mean by in email chat. I guess it's a good thing I only use my yahoo mail for registering to sites I need to go to once, but I know will keep on spamming you once you do. Go right ahead, I'll never read it smile.gif

"In-email-chat" is basically like the feature they have in Gmail. The main differences being that you can't choose to activate this feature, and it logs you out of the messenger client automatically to sign you into it.

I have to ask what lazy-ass good-for-nothing is so unabashedly inept as to need to be able to "chat" while checking their email. I mean really, half the reason I stopped carrying a wireless phone was because I didn't see a need in the redundancy of having two phones. This situation is similar. I already have a "chat" system through Yahoo that works just fine. I don't need to merge that and email.
