Yahoo asking for subscription payment to send and receive emails

1•whyleym•1h ago
This morning I received a notification in my Yahoo email web view that for my account that I have had since 1998 I would need to pay a subscription fee OR signup for their 'plus' product in order to send or receive emails. If I don't pay I will effectively be locked out of my email that I have had for close to 30 years. At this point in my life porting to a new primary email address isn't feasible and the monetary cost of the email isn't the point here for me, it's the principle that they are stopping the sending and receiving of email unless I pay. This doesn't feel right ?
