You should be able to go to your account profile and cancel there.

It is like hotmail, in that it closes your account and deletes all your messages (after whatever period of time) due to inactivity. But you can log back into your email addy to reactivate it. I do it often with one email addy I have that I use to forward emails to when I'm on vacation or some such, or I did, I don't really need to anymore, but I still can reactivate it :) \nBut I'm sure that eventually after so long of an inactivity they will delete your account, but so far I'm good.

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

Log in, then go to My Settings, then Cancel My Account.\n\nYou will get an email that you have to click a link to so you can complete the cancellation.

Check in your deleted items.  If it's not there, try and log into the e-mail anyways.  It SHOULD have an option to resend activation request.  If not, you may have to create a different ID, or else e-mail Yahoo! support and tell them your issue and hope for a response.

Contact your service provider (the company you have the account with.)  They're the only people who can help you with this.

An account is considered to be "dormant" after four months of non-use.\n\n"Dormant accounts are de-activated at the end of four months. A dormant account is one which has not been logged in to over a four-month period, regardless of whether or not email has been received in the account during that time.\n\nOnce an account has been de-activated, we cannot retrieve any of the information that was formerly stored in it."

There's no way to delete your e-mail account. The only option is to stop using if. If you don't log-in for a specified period of 2 months (or 4), your account will be automatically deactivated.\n\nHowever, you can log-in after the deactivation, but you will lose all the emails.

While the question is not very specific, you could:\n\nSimply login  -> retrieve your password if necessary\n\nConnect via POP3 with Outlook or Thunderbird\n\nNote: Yahoo does delete accounts that have been inactive for a long period of time.
