I added an update to the original post, but if you're just looking at new postings, you might not see it:
You can reduce the sucktastic all-ads-in-your-face, all-the-time by switching back to what Rogers amusingly calls Mail Classic. Ads, but in a much less obtrusive, less aggravating way.
Of course, there's no guarantee that they won't pull Mail Classic without warning . . .
Instead of the obnoxious auto-opening panel on the right side of the page (which you can't turn off for more than one message at a time), the top 25% of the page now has an ad (yes, some of which are still fricking animated). I've found that much less irritating, so I've switched back to the older interface.
If that doesn't work for you, Wired's "How-To Wiki" has advice on how to Ditch Your Old E-mail Addresses.
Update: Comments are open, temporarily.
