J'accuse... ! Remember the unnamed third party that Microsoft had
found to be abusing 3G data on Windows Phone 7? Secret's out, and the
culprit is none other than Yahoo Mail. According to a statement
obtained by Microsoft guru Paul Thurrott, a fix is expected in the
"coming weeks," but in the interim, you can mitigate the pain by going
into settings and choosing less taxing options for "Download new
content" and "Download email from" -- say, for example, "manually" and
"the last 7 days," respectively. At least now you know exactly at whom
you should wag your finger.
