Visit this page --->  \n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/edit/edit-23.html\n\nOne of the last paragraphs says:\n\n"To remove your entire account, please visit our Account Deletion page."\n\nAnd, you click on the "Account Deletion" link.\n\nHave fun!

I ended my dsl service once and Yahoo offers you a "moving" helper that helps you transfer all your data to basic yahoo account and you keep all the stored emails as well. You may have to change the ending of your email (to @yahoo.com) but that's it

I think the best you can do is create a new account (you can actually use the same password, that doesn't matter), copy anything you'd like to keep from your current one, let everybody know you have a new address, and forget about the old one completely.

To remove your mail from Yahoo, you will have to delete your Yahoo account too. Here's what you can do:\n\nLong story short : https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user\nTwo ways to delete your Yahoo Account\n\n(1) Get it deleted by inactivity\n(2) Terminate your account manually\n\nFor the first method, just don't login to your account for 3 months, and your account gets deleted. But the waiting period is quiet long. It is a good policy by Yahoo, as it helps maintain an accurate number of users. I remember, when Hotmail used to brag about in its initial days about its huge userbase, most of its accounts were never used by users(who had registered themselves to get a taste of what email is called). Yahoo always gave an accurate picture. Also, for common usernames like amitgupta, emmacooper, etc which are never available (due to large no of people having these names), a chance is available to the new users to get such usernames from users who are inactive( which generally have to be registered as emmacooper1232005 due to unavailability)\n\nFor the second method, I gave you the link above. The advantage is that your account is terminated instantaneously. You can read the explaination at http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/edit/edit-23.html

Certain mail programs automatically do this (gmail for one), but, likely, you'll need to do it by hand.  If your old account is terminated, then e-mails sent to it just bounce.

The only thing you can do is to either forward them to another account, or upgrade to Mail Plus so that you can archeive and download emails to your desktop, into outlook. Another option is to go through each of the emails with attachments, and save them to your Yahoo! Briefcase. \n\nI feel for you but these are the only real ways when you have a free email account.   Hope this helps out.

you can't delete it because it's already been sent and not re-writable. you can just copy-paste what you want to forward into another compose email window.

You can't. I also asked on the boards.  Just give away or donate your items, pound your pets if you want, or just keep them in your account (they don't die, they just stay hungry). They don't close accounts, but they do deactivate them. I added the link to deactivate your account below. They'll stop sending emails...but I'm not sure if you can reactivate it later. I hope this has helped. By the way, I'm a neopets user, and if you no longer need any items I would be greatful to have them. My username on neo is: bettie_sue     Email me or neomail me if you have any more questions.

Look under help on the webpage your email is at...if your able to type in a question, type in the question you asked here. I only have experience in hotmail and yahoo so I can't give specific instructions...but that's how I figured it out the first time. They'll give you a link to click onto a page that has a form you fill out to delete your account.

if you cant try this. Just click 'reply' (any mail) from here delete all the things like email ids, subject, body. And fill it with the address (that you need to send the actual mail) , subject and body.\nThats it. Hope this will help you.

I don't think you can. It's an anti-spam security feature keeping spambots from misusing multiple email accounts.\n\nThis feature would probably be available (but up to a limit) on a chargeable email account such as the one your ISP provides for you or a Yahoo professional package.\n\nHope this helps

There are two ways to get rid of it:\n1) buy yahoo premium e-mail service\n2) get a gmail account\n\nOne of these will help you out.

I'm not sure if you can, but if you do not log on to the account for 6 months, it will be deleted.

you can just stop using the e-mail part of it.  Don't send anything out of that e-mail address, and don't check it.  It may not delete it, but it would get the message across that it was no longer your correct e-mail address.

Go to your Hotmail account in your web browser and look around in their help files. They'll walk you through setting up a mail client like Outlook.\n\nHowever, you HAVE to have a VERY old account to do this with. Hotmail recently made it so that you CAN'T get emails from Outlook with newer accounts at all. If your account is too young, then you can't do it at all, unless you get a paid account.

you need to send an email to support@yahoo.com from the account in question, asking them to have it deleted.  They will followup with a confirmation that you have to activate in order to complete the deletion.
