Key notes

Yahoo has already started to notify Mail app for Windows 10 users thatthe app will be shut downnext week, solidifying a rather negative trajectory for the app.

In September 2016, Yahoo admitted that in 2014, it suffered a huge data breach and over 500 million user accounts were hacked. That December, another security breach took place with a billion accounts affected. And this February, Yahoo warned everybody that the source code for generating cookies was stolen. Judging by all these events, we can’t really say that we’re shocked that Yahoo is in the process of terminating the Mail app.

Users have begun reporting on Twitter that the app has stopped working, suggesting that support for it has already begun to be cut off. The message that some users have been getting reads loud and clear:
