Yahoo has denied that it has made it deliberately difficult for customers to migrate to another email provider.

It follows the disabling of an email-forwarding feature which allows people to migrate automatically.

Yahoo said it was a "temporary" move while it worked on improvements.

The firm is dealing with fallout from a massive breach of customer data and accusations that it allowed the US government to spy on emails.

In a statement to the BBC, Yahoo said: "We're working to get auto-forward back up and running as soon as possible because we know how useful it can be to our users. The feature was temporarily disabled as part of previously planned maintenance to improve its functionality between a user's various accounts. Users can expect an update to the auto-forward functionality soon. In the meantime, we continue to support multiple account management. "

But some of its customers were not convinced.
