I have a spare AOL diskette I could send you..
Get your own domain name and filter the email through Gmail.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I have a stack of over 100 of them that I have been planning on using for shotgun targets or a mobile or something. Still trying to think of a creative use for them...

I used a pair for just that, years ago. My wife and I eventually misplaced them.

If you are really concerned about privacy then do not use email. But if you are willing to accept its limitations then Outlook or Gmail; I actually use both.

And you're not concerned about privacy with yahoo (or anyone else for that matter) ?

My yahoo mail has no modal dialogs. I'm not sure (since I'm not logged in at the moment) but I may be using their previous version.
Aside from that, I have FireFox with the popup blocker enabled, ad blocker, and pixel graphics &etc. blocked. (Ghostery, Adblocker X)
The annoying things are (1) first item in inbox is often a paid ad - but I don't have to look, and (2), at login, sometimes it wants my phone or other info which I bypass.
*CP I disable both plugins here: you gotta' make a living, somehow.

For $3 a year, I got a web site, mailboxes, etc. Paid for itself not thinking about it.

Why not use a mail client like Thunderbird via IMAP. It presents all connected email accounts in a unified manner, including filesizes, without having to suffer the bad layouts, popups and ads you get when going direct?
|
|
|
|
|
Thunderbird also enables moving emails between accounts without having to forward. And it provides a local backup in case the provider does something stupid (losing emails was mentioned in a previous post).

You may all want to look at ProtonMail....
Just wanted to add: Subject lines in ProtonMail messages are not end-to-end encrypted, however Your message content and attachments are end to end encrypted....

If you MS-Outlook you can install multiple mailboxes in one instance. I currently have three - one business and two individual. The two individual are both free.

I have almost twenty Yahoo email accounts (plus five gmail and two from my home network operator) but haven't noticed any dialogs.
I have been using Thunderbird for more than ten years to read the emails using IMAP. I don't even remember the look of Yahoo's login page 
It would be unfeasible to open so many email accounts one by one in a browser.
The down side is that, some times I get stupid login errors saying that the login was refused by Yahoo but that usually clears within a minute or two and Thunderbird autologins without a problem. I guess that those failed logins are a way of Yahoo to tell me to read advertising!
Privacy wise, I think most of them are all the same, as in, they will be able to read your email. Even if you use an email provider that has encryption, the person you send the email to, also has to have encryption support, either by the provider or by third party (like PGP plugin for Thunderbird) otherwise your email has to be sent in clear text and can be read by the receiving provider.
I have PGP setup in my main account but none of my contacts has encryption so all emails I send them have to go unencrypted otherwise they won't be able to read them.
For subscriptions/shopping sites I use use Yahoo's alias addresses (or whatever they call it). They look like ordinary email addresses but are just an alias for your real email address. They can be easily created and removed.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird as a mail client to google mail. I don't see modal dialogs. Maybe the path to success is to not use the web-based mail client.

Yahoo has become unbearable years ago. And if you were using Yahoo up to this time, there is no point in being concerned about privacy by using GMail.
And first and foremost, I would recommend to let go of that nonsense and insist on using a web browser for email, that is what real email clients are intended for...

Give ProtonMail a try, especially if you value your privacy. Made by scientists at CERN

Answer: Thunderbird/Seamonkey
They allow POP/IMAP so there is no need to use the webmail version.

I still use yahoo mail (free not paid, if they have that) and have no probs with modals or anything. I also use Adblock Plus which I think solves a lot of issues.

I don't think there was anything wrong with that one!
Very sadly, got the right letters and was too fixed on synonyms for home to see the "got me" part!
