I am sick & tired of being dropped/signed out of Mail when, I receive a pop-up, IM or SMS from Messenger. I also, am tired of not receiving info I request. I,3 wish there was an opt/out,remove or cancel key/button for chat feature in yahoo! mail! It would be nice if, someone would beable to figure out someway to accomplish this very soon!

Please add a remove/disable to the chat feature in Yahoo! Mail. It is really annoying as others have expressed before me.

Hoping to find the disable switch, but I see nothing has been done. Sure it’s a nice little feature that some may like, yet I rather not have this attached to my mail account. It gets really upsetting every time I check my mail that I have to disable or click offline really quick but usually it still fires up long enough for everyone to know I am on line. I have the messanger program and also use Trillian, thus If I decide to chat then I will use the program,
Please remove or at least let us have the option to remove this feature from the Email section.

Why can’t I choose who I want to come up in my chat list, like Gmail… and not have people I don’t particularly want to talk to see when I’m online and jump in and chat with me whenever they want.???! There are email friends and there are Chat friends yet this stupid feature tells ME who’s who. What a joke.

Was hoping to find some answers here but am only seeing others have the same issue and no one is fixing the problem. My husband is doing contract work for the government but he was admonished today for checking his Yahoo email BECAUSE OF THE IM. He is not allowed to check his mail now. From all the posts I have read, why hasn’t anyone come up with an opt out switch? and as J Beckham said, it would be nice to find some answers without having to go through 2,307,000,090 hits My husband and I both have been yahoo users for many years but this could change that.. I really dont want to stop using an email Ive used for a decade. Thanks for your help.

Yahoo mail user here, about to be former user. The new browser chat implementation is about to lose a customer for you. Please release or develop a way to turn off this binary abomination and put your client’s privacy and choices back in their hands. Please?

If such a method for disabling the browser based yahoo messenger exists, please post is somewhere accessible so that your clients don’t have to dig through 2,307,000,090 hits on a search engine to find it.

I don’t necessarily want to broadcast my presence online every time I need to crack my browser open to do something. I’ve had accounts with yahoo for well over a decade, but this last round of changes is making me feel like a Gmail kind of guy.

Thanks for your time.
