how to get away from yahoo I hate yahoo

I totally despise yahoo email!  I did want to migrate but it was mandatory and I had not choice.  I get so many ads but to get rid of them yahoo wants you to spend money for a plan to be add free?  Ridiculous,  The emails are hard to read and find. too much spam.

Any suggestions on how to get away from yahoo email?  I have so many people who have my email and afraid to change I would lose do many contacts.  I have had comcast email for over 30 years and never had any problems until they forced this yahoo stuff on us.  I heard once you are using yahoo you can not go back?  There has to be something we can do to have a more user friendly email account without all this adds and junk emails.

You are losing comcast /Xfinity customers left and right due to the switch to the [Edited: “Profanity”] yahoo mail which is the worst I have ever had in my life ! I have been an Xfinity customer for over 20 years but might be changing very soon!

I set up a new Outlook email account. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than Yahoo. Now I’m slowly transitioning all my accounts (medical, financial, shopping, etc.) to use the new email address. It’s a very tedious and time-consuming process, but I want to be free of Yahoo - it’s terrible. For some accounts (business, financial, medical, etc.), I’ve had to contact phone support to complete the process, jumping through hoops for my own security. It’s a necessary evil, but that’s how bad I want to get rid of Yahoo. I think this was a terrible thing Comcast/Xfinity did to their customers. Some of us have used the Comcast email system for 30+ years, and it encompasses almost all aspects of our life. Then they just dump us on the very worst email system out there. If I wasn’t happy with my other Comcast/Xfinity services (cable, internet, and cell phone), I would drop them in a heartbeat for doing this. For the amount of money we pay every month, we should have received better from them.
