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 Poke tongue | ;-P

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.
