look at any of your incoming emails and go to the bottom right of the screen when you have an email open and click on "full headers".  You will see how much info goes out with a typical email.

The email address and the IP address of the server it went out on.  That is about it. They can not find out your home address or anything like that.  If you have a yahoo account just make sure that you don't put your full name in it if you don't want them to know who it came from.

There are several way, including your email address was sold to them.  Also, forums and chatrooms can be scanned by programs which look for the XXX@YYY format for email addresses.  These programs can scan just about any site where information is posted and then make lists which are used by spammers.

As far as i know... it doesnt... but you can configure your email application to download your yahoo emails, then program it to say youve got mail.

Yes, they do have the ability to monitor the contents of your e-mail (it *is* their servers).  Look at the Privacy Policy located at the bottom of every Yahoo Mail page.

Not really. People can have multiple email addresses either under their real name or an anonymous one. The only way to know for sure who an email address belongs to is to subpoena the records of the ISP (internet service provider).

An email address has no meaning when found in spam mail. Anyone can put any address they want in an email. That address would be useless to Yahoo without the complete email with headers.

If you are using the free yahoo mail service, then every email that you send and receive is scanned by Norton antivirus. \nThere is no safety agains spam as of now, except that all the unsolicited email will be dropped off in your bulk mail folder.

We can't see your email address. It is only shown when you click My Q&A by you. Click on your icon and you can see what the public sees. I freaked out on that at first too!

it is possible. all you have to do is create a distribution list with names of people you want to send email to.\n\nThe name for this varies: in yahoo it is distribution list, in Eudora mail it is recipient etc.\nThis will be in the compose section of the email you use.\n\nThen while sending email all you have to do is add this list in BCC field. \n\nBCC- blind carbon copy-- you can put all the  email addys of the world and no one will  know if the someone else has received the same email unless indicated in the email msg.\n\nCC - Carbon copy--here everyone sees the others email included.\n\n---------------------------------------------------\n\nWhich email programe are you using? If you can add that then i can be more specific....

This can be a bit tricky because people that send spam usally do not do it from their computer. They have infected some poor user and are using his computer to send out mass emails.. \n\nTo answer your question you could look at the header of the email and see what the ip address its comming from. Or if its someone that doesn't know what there doing their email address could be there.\n\nIf your using Outlook express right click on the email then go to properties and pick the detail tab. In Outlook right click on the email then go to options. You should see the email header at the bottom of the option window. This will show you exactly the way it was recieved. If you look at the from field it will have the email address. It most likely will be a string of characters @ some free email service.

It depends. For one, does your email client have your real name set as the display name for when you send somethng? Do you have a profile online somewhere that has both your real name and email? It may be best to just have a secondary web mail for people you don't know personally and such!

Yahoo has a feature where you can assign a unique email address that you can give to special people or companies without divulging your real address..\n\nEX:  Say your id is :   yourname@yahoo.com  You can assign yournameemail-wal-mart@yahoo.com.  \n\nWhen you get email to that address you know it is from wal-mart so that you will know if they gave out your name to others.\n\nI think it is in the options feature of yahoo under "addressguard".  check it out.

well, I think you can't do that just by sending an email, you must know the ip address itself, to know that ip you must receive a response, reply from the person  you sent the e-mail to and your e-mail reader must be set-up to show full headers. The header of an e-mail shows the ip address from the incoming message, once you have that ip, go to http://www.ip2location.com/ to trace it, or https://www.abika.com/forms/Verifyemailaddress.asp

You cannot set up Yahoo with outlook unless you have the paid account. Outlook does not need an IP address, it needs POP3 and SMTP server information if you do have a paid account.

It is not concerned to yahoo at all.\nIf your friend has valid email address, you can send him mail from anywhere, not only from yahoo. Thus, the problem is with your friend's address or mail server that holds his mailbox.
