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.

You can delete you account anyway by going to my account and deleteing your account, but I would rather like to tell you other options.\n+Scan your harddisk with any antivirus, chances are that you are victim of a trojan virus which is sending password to the hacker everytime you log into your account.\n\n+Change your password and check your alternate email address.\n\n+Check you pop mail settings and mail forwarding settings in  options in mail.yahoo.com\n\nHope you wont give up deleting your account and fight back well to the hacker..\n\nA hacker myself\n\ns2b

Try the forgot password option and yahoo should send it to your box. of course you could just delete your Identy and start off with a new one.\n\nAlso when you sign up for yahoo give a different email address to send your forgot password info so it will go to that box and not your yahoo box. That is why I have 6 email addresses.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nDavid

Yahoo! mail and GMail, unlike Hotmail, will not delete your account just because you haven't used it.\n\nYou can, however, stop using it.  If you don't want to use it anymore, set up a "vacation response".  That way you can let people either know that you aren't uing it anymore, or you can inform them of your new email address.\n\nTo set up a vacation response, go to Yahoo! Mail then go to "options" and fill out the vacation response email.\n\nIf you don't want to use your yahoo! email for yahoo! products, go to your yahoo! account information  (select "my account") and change your primary email address to the email address you would like to use.
