@Suzanfrench They are 100% scams, no updates are taking place, any that do require no user intervention at all.

Scam. There's no 'older' version of Sky Yahoo Mail. The link is to a fake website. Just mark it as spam.

The email address it has come from has been faked to make it look like it is from Sky. Any email from Sky will address you by your first name as I take it this did not.
