Oh, and earlier this month, Yahoo! Mail relaunched and revamped itself.

They did indeed,

as well as revamping their "privacy" policy and also giving users their FIRST look at some "privacy" controls that they never had control over before including "connected apps" that showed users for the first time that companies such as Linkedin had access to their data.

Yahoo then tried to force users into agreeing with their new "privacy" policy by refusing access to the users email by throwing a fake error if the user chose "I'll do this later" instead of "I agree" to the new policies that read: "Oops Something went wrong!" "Start Over" bringing the user back to the privacy policy agreement page holding users hostage to where they couldn't access their account to migrate to a different email provider.
