How can I remove the new Yahoo email advertising?
Yahoo email is the default service from my PAID ISP, (Pacbell.net) - I’m not using the free Yahoo email service. Because I have to pay for this service, rather than support it by looking at advertising, surely Yahoo is able to tell this from my email domain, and let me turn off advertising, since I’m already paying for the service.
How do I turn off the advertising?? My dollars are already paying for my service, NOT advertising!!

There is no way to do this :(:(
Yahoo! can’t tell just from your domain that you are a paying member or not - and as a large corporation, they really don’t care either…
After all - THEY had to pay something in order to partner up with pacbell.net…

I don’t think the care if you’re a paying customer or not. I am a paying AT&T Yahoo DSL subscriber and I am subjected to the same advertising. If you want to disable it, read on!
STOP THE AT&T YAHOO AD ONSLAUGHT!!
I was so annoyed by Yahoo ads I spent one week trying to disable them.
For the AT&T Yahoo browser, Kill the Popup. Here’s the link
A Pando icon appears in your system tray. Click on it and set your proxy settings for Internet Explorer (i.E.) The AT&T Yahoo browser relies on I.E. for its functionality. Although the ad coding remains, the ad is gone!
For Internet Explorer, the I.E. 7 Pro add-on. Here’s the link
To select the Ad Blocker settings, click on the I.E. Pro icon, which appears on your I.E. Toolbar.
Finally, I switched to Modzilla Firefox and set my home page to which allowed me to acess my AT%T Yahoo mail. I tried the Modzilla add-on, AdBlockPlus, but it disabled some content on my home page, so I deleted it!
For ads I selected in Modzilla Firefox, I right-clicked on the ad and chose the block option, which whited out the ad. If I wanted to see it (although I can’t imagine why!), I right-clicked again, chose ’select all’ and
clicked on the blue box, which appeared in the upper-left corner. If it didn’t take me to the web site, I chose ‘open link in a new window’. You can also disable ‘external site images’ and ‘all images’ in Firefox, depending on your preferences.
You might say, I am the ‘No Ad Advocate’. Cheers!
