Yeah, Gmail has done this since the beginning. I don't think that's why its popular, and I question Yahoo's wisdom on this. Maybe its that much more valuable, but maybe someone can sue them for invasion of privacy one sunny day and win. We're not their subordinates, but they will treat us that way until we stop letting them.

It's stupid for yahoo to do it because they are at a different stage in their products life cycle than Google is. Yahoo is no longer the young, hip kid on the block. People shrug when I tell them I use a yahoo email account (which is 100% why I still use it). The market share that yahoo mail has is far more fragile than gmail's.

I can understand that. Luckily, my last name isn't that common. Though I had to go with steven instead of steve with gmail. Steve was already taken.
