When you registered your SBC Yahoo! account, did you  merge your existing yahoo with sbcglobal? Because if you did, all email sent to yahoo will be routed automatically to sbc yahoo.

Use your secondary email to gain access.  Or find a machine capable of taking you back to the period of time when you had full control over the email address.  Or email yahoo support.

This is what I found on Y! Answers search, from a past answerer 'Scara':\n"Email the yahoo account security department.. they are able to verify the past information on the account... if any changes have been made they are able to see the changed info.. there email address is account-security-help@ cc.yahoo-inc.com when you email them just put your yahoo id in the subject line and in the body of the email just tell them what happened.. They will send you a list of 8 questions.. Just reply to that email.. do not change the subject line.. and answer the questions.. they will be able to verify those questions based on the original registration information and should be able to help you access back into your account."

If you remember the username you used, you can recover your password using the password recovery form. This question would be better fielded to a Yahoo administrator.

You are the victim of a phishing scam.  Yahoo would never ask you to "reconfirm" your account.  This is a very common scam.  \n\nYou will NEVER be asked to reconfirm your account information by ANY legitimate business or website!  If you receive one of these fraudulent e-mails, you should forwared it to the Abuse department of the business that the e-mail purports to come from.\n\nThe scammer has changed your password, this is why you are locked out of your account.\n\nYou should contact Yahoo and explain what happened.  Hopefully they will lock out that account so that the scammer cannot use it any more.  Yahoo may or may not get you access back into the account.  I wouldn't bet on that, though.\n\nYou might try to log on to it and go through the lost password recovery procedure.  If the scammer didn't change your settings, you will be able to recover the account.  Then give yourself a NEW password.  Make it something that someone won't guess easily.  \n\nIf you get this lucky, you should contact all of your friends and contacts on Yahoo and explain to them what happened.  The scammer has probably tried to scam them or send viruses or spyware to them pretending to be you.  Since your friends think that it's coming from you, they are more likely to trust the e-mail or message as being legitinate.\n\nIf they did change your details and secret question, the account is probably lost forever.

Go here:\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/edit/ch...\n\nHave a read, it will explain everything, and there is a link to click so you can delete your account.\n\nJust so you know. Once you have deleted your account you CANNOT retrieve it.

Yahoo basically won't do anything if you forget your info.  Just create a new mail account.

Contact Yahoo & tell them what you just told us. They will want to know when the account was created & names of your folders etc.

If you are on Yahoo email, go to the trash folder, and move the email back to your regular account. Most other emails operate in about the same fashion although the nomenclature may be a litte different.

You should contact Yahoo Account Verification. If you think it's a password problem then just request a new one.  They will verify your personal information that you entered when you opened your account and then issue you a new password over the phone. If the account has been closed then they are the only ones that can open it.  Just tell them what happened and they can reopen your account for you after verifying some of your personal information.  They can be reached by calling 408-349-1572 option 2, option 2.

The server that your email address is on is having problems.  It will get resolved, it is not you.\n\nWhen my Yahoo is down, my sister, in another state, can access her account.  We are on different servers.
