It is a really a bad news to Yahoo Mail users. Yahoo planed to remove RSS Feeds from its All New Yahoo Mail. These RSS feeds will be deleted from Yahoo Mail and will be moved to MyYahoo.

This will definitely frustrate most of the loyal users of Yahoo.

My Yahoo has already has been filled with so many content gadgets. In my opinion MyYahoo will never be the alternate solution hold RSS Feeds.
