Yahoo groups

[misst]

Hey all,

Does anyone know how to make sure your email addy stays private on yahoo groups? I've been trying to freegle some stuff this weekend and have ended up with my email addy included with the post, which I wanted kept private.  Trying to sort it out now with a freegle mod, but from what I can see it's a yahoo groups permissions issue and I can't see how to change it.  Going to have to change a centuries old email addy now which I'm well cheesed off about. 

Thanks for reading guys

Ok, I've spent most of the day now trying to sort this out and it's a nightmare. I've left all my yahoo groups and going to leave freegle as well on my current account there and start again with a new freegle account and a new email client completely. Yahoo has been a pain for a while now anyway.

So next question is, can anyone recommend a free, simple email client?

All I want is to send and receive emails - that's it! I'm not on facebook, twitter or any other social networking site. I don't want to be automatically linked into anywhere 'for my convenience'. I don't want to chat, Skype or see photos or details about anyone else, and I don't want my info displayed anywhere else on the net without my permission. It's not so much to ask, is it? I just want to be private!

Can anyone help at all?
