    is anyone getting this email?
    what i find strange is this:
    1/ it's sent to my @gmail.com account
    2/ my yahoo account is @yahoo.se meaning se = Sweden so it should be in Swedish right? and sent to my Swedish yahoo account

    3/ the links lead to https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2.... but i still dont trust it as it is not in Swedish and not sent to my Swedish yahoo email account

    4/ i am logged in to yahoo.se via yahoo messenger, why ask me to login again?

    Dear Yahoo! Photos user,

    For some time now, we've supported two great photo sharing services: Yahoo! Photos and Flickr. But even good things come to an end, and we've decided to close Yahoo! Photos to focus all our efforts on Flickr — the award-winning photo sharing community that TIME Magazine has called "completely addictive."

    We will officially close Yahoo! Photos on Thursday, September 20, 2007, at 9 p.m. PDT. Until then, we are offering you the opportunity to move to another photo sharing service (Flickr, KODAK Gallery, Shutterfly, Snapfish, or Photobucket). We're making the transfer real simple, and with a couple clicks we'll automatically move your photos to Flickr or wherever you want them. You can also download your original-resolution photos back to your computer, or buy an archive CD from our featured partner (for users of the New Yahoo! Photos only). All you need to do is tell us what to do with your photos before we close, after which any photos remaining on Yahoo! Photos will be deleted and no longer accessible.

    Of course, we hope you'll join us at Flickr (you can even use your Yahoo! ID), but we also realize that Flickr may not be for everyone. In the end, we want you to find the service that's right for you, and we hope you take some time to learn more about your options before making this important decision.

    Please give us your decision by Thursday, September 20, 2007, at 9 p.m. PDT. After that time, any photos remaining in Yahoo! Photos will be deleted. Click here to make your decision, or review a list of our frequently asked questions.

    Thanks for being a part of the Web's largest photo sharing service — we hope to see you over at Flickr!

    If you have already moved or downloaded your photos, please disregard this message.

    The Yahoo! Photos team

    I actually don't much use my yahoo account anymore for anything other than storing my photos :) But the other day I went to log in at the actual yahoo site and when I went to my photos it said as of either August or September 15th yahoo will no longer be hosting photos. It said to save your photos in another place because all will be deleted on the 15th. Not sure about the email...but to my knowledge this is true :) Hope that helps :)
