Yahoo! Mail, a web-based email service, launched in 1997 through the American parent company Yahoo!. Yahoo! Mail provides four different email plans: three are for personal use (Basic, Plus, and Ad Free) and another is paid-for business use.[4] [5] By December 2011, it had 281 million users, making it the third largest web-based email service in the world.[6] On December 14, 2016, Yahoo! announced more than 1 billion user accounts were hacked in a breach that occurred back in 2013.[7] Earlier that year in September, Yahoo! announced that an additional 500 million user accounts were breached in 2014.[8] The company was said to have discovered about the breach that affected hundreds of millions of accounts years before their initial announcement.[9]

As many as three web interfaces were available at any given date. The traditional "Yahoo! Mail Classic" preserved the availability of their original 1997 interface until July 2013 in North America. A 2005 version included a new Ajax interface, drag-and-drop, improved search, keyboard shortcuts, address auto-completion, and tabs. However, other features were removed, such as column widths and one click delete-move-to-next. In October 2010, Yahoo! released a beta version of Yahoo! Mail,[10] which included improvements to performance, search, and Facebook integration.[11] In May 2011, it became the default interface.[12] Their current Webmail interface was introduced in 2012.
