Change the password on the account.

report that to yahoo, this is the only way.\nbecause your email has been hacked by a hacker, which means that your email address is totally his/hers.

Obviously you can't.  No one likes you. Also yahoo has a filter that blocks out religious addresses, and only allows phishing emails, and porn to come through.

If you use Yahoo Address Guard (options) "address guard" you can give out a different yahoo address (example: yournameemail-wal-mart@yahoo.com) whenever you sign up for something.   If you get email at that address you know who is sending it or who sold it.\n\nCheck it out.  Great yahoo feature.

Try using spamfighter, downloadable from\nhttp://www.spamfighter.com\n\nor \n\nOutspam to take care of spams in outlook\n\nYou can also create a block list to block the mails from anonymous people.

Simple dont tell your address to anybody. Block all your friends email id on that account.

When you sign up for the email account you don't have to enter real details so it is possible to set up an account in the name of Mickey Mouse with a totally false postal address, or a real postal address that isn't yours! Hence it is not necessarily possible for Yahoo to find the person sending the email from the details they entered.\n\nThe best way to trace where a mail is coming from is by looking at the X-originating-IP email header. If this is not there you can look at the other headers to find the originating IP address. From this you can see which internet subnet it came from and find the ISP who owns that.\n\nThey would be able to trace which of their accounts was assigned that IP address at the time the email was sent, but you (or the police) would need to give them a very good reason to do it.\n\nI suppose Yahoo might do this for you if they felt there was sufficient justification.\n\nIt is also possible to spoof email addresses, which means that the actual owner of the account might not really have sent the mail at all - it might have been sent by somebody else. To do this all you need to know is the email address of an account and you can make it look like the email came from there.\n\nInternet email is really not to be trusted!

You really don't have any reason to.  Just tell the people you like that you have a new e-mail address and stop logging in to that account until it expires.  You can even create a whole new one with Yahoo and ignore the other one.

I would try abuse@yahoo.com since it sounds like they are spoofing the yahoo domain. Make sure your send them the mail header as well. TX

The only thing that could possibly help would be to not allow any personal e-mails at all from the business e-mail address.  It would still be kind of hard to enforce without monitoring though.  You could "spot check" or just tell the employees you will be spot checking, and not actually do it.

Go the the Yahoo Help page, under security heading. Follow the steps.

You can't, as there is no such program. At least for some kinds of spying. \n\nLet's look at the issue. \n\n1) Someone spying on you could have installed some software on your machine (a virus or some spyware or something similar), and installing a good anti-virus program (AVG and Avast are both freely downloadable as is Spy-Bot and Ad-Aware -- all for Windows). They require a little, not much, configuration to work properly. If you keep them updated and run them regularly, much of that danger can be reduced. \n\n2) Someone wanting to spy on you might be trying to install some kind of virus or whatever on your machine using a loophole, bug, vulnerability, misconfiguration, etc. One way to reduce this risk is to install firewall software on your computer system. Zone Alarm, by Zone Labs, is well respected, and there is a freely downloadable version. But any firewall worth bothering with will require configuration to match your use of the Internet. The basic principle is to block all traffic to and from the Internet except the stuff you actually need to use, and since your use is different than anyone else's the configuration must be adapted to you to provide a reasonable hope of keeping out the bad guys. Note that most firewalls haven't to date, watched outgoing traffic, which allows spyware that somehow managed to get onto your machine to send information to DataTheivesRus.com without your knowledge. Zone Alarm, at least, does so -- or can be configured to do so.\n\n3) Email spam is still another issue. Much of it is simply a waste of time. There are programs which attempt to filter out spam. Some keep a list of addresses from which never to accept email (blacklist programs), some keep a list of addresses from which email will be accepted (whitelist programs), some attempt to learn from your classifications of email what's acceptable and what's not (adaptive filters). But some spam email is dangerous; this is email with malicious executable content (attachments, images, etc), and is only dangerous if executed (ie, opened). If scanned first by an anti-virus program much of the dangerous bit can be safely detected and defanged. But some programs helpfully open everything first; Outlook Express used to do exactly this, and so contributed considerably to the spread of many a virus. The latest versions, which you might or might not have, supposedly doesn't. But even so, it's not possible to automatically identify every sort of maliciously troublesome email content. And, of course, some images are, shall we say, exceptionally 'adult' in their content. not dangerous to your computer, but likely to excite comment from others.\n\n4) Your Internet traffic goes through at least the following computers. Yours, the computer at your ISP (eg, AOL, or Earthlink, or your cable company, or the local telephone company if you have DSL), several others (100's are easily possible) on the way to its destination, and exactly the same on the way back. Everyone of these computers could be spying on you by copying your traffic for later analysis. In fact, this is essentially what NSA is doing in its surveillance program that President Bush authorized some years ago without requiring permission from a court. You can't stop that kind of spying, in fact you can't even know it's going on and so no program could possibly stop it. \n\nThe only possible thing to do if you are seriously concerned is to encrypt your transmissions so that even when intercepted, it will be meaningless to the eavesdropper. PGP (or GPG, its open source alternative) is excellent when properly used. And, of course, your incoming traffic should also be encrypted. Additionally, it will be useful to conceal the destinations of anything you send (and anyone or anything that sends to you should do the same). This requires use of an anonymous re-mailer (at least for email traffic) and a Web anonymizer service for most types of Web traf

Get Hotmail,.. tell noone your account,.. \n\nOr make a New Yahoo,.. tell noone your account.  That's the only way to avoid and that doesn't even work,.. first day you might get mail.\n\nSo how do you feel about these Hackers?  *puts ear muffs on*

There's no way you can do that on Yahoo Mail and Outlook. \n\nUse Sneakemail is an address-hiding service. \nhttp://sneakemail.com/

i think there is no such way by which you can check that someone is accessing your mail from other computer and he/she can again mark it as unread.\n\nPLz tell me if you can get any method.

Depends on which email service you're using. If you're using Yahoo mail, you can block sender by clicking on the "block sender" button in mail window.
