Yahoo E-Mail Advertising

My DSL service is through AT&T/Yahoo and I've been pretty happy with it so far. They have a great web-based e-mail interface, which is all I use. They recently upgraded the mail service and along with the new features came a load of advertising all over the interface. If I'm getting the DSL service for free, I'm okay with a few ads. I pay for my DSL and the associated e-mail (well, my company does, anyway), so keep it ad-free.

I'm trying out Google's Gmail interface to see how I like it. Will has already made the switch, but I'm a little more cautious. I'm pretty attached to my e-mail address and don't want to be like Will and have 19 different addresses pointing all over the place. What is everyone else using for web-based e-mail clients?

I'm in exactly the same situation, I like almost everything about the new Yahoo mail interface, except the advertising. I sent yahoo a comment about that last week asking why I should have to watch ads when I'm paying for the service. And they take up so much real estate, if they were small it wouldn't be so bad.

I really don't want to switch, I'm using umteen aliases to my email account to help sort out where mail & spam comes from.
