If you get an email from, say, stranger@yahoo.com - then your best chance of finding SOME further info might be to enter http://profiles.yahoo.com/stranger into your browser.\n\nBut remember, any email in that sort of format is NOT "from Yahoo", by which I mean it is never a direct communication from Yahoo to you - it is simply from a USER of Yahoo, just like you and I are.\n\nSo IF such an email tells you you've just won $10000 in the Yahoo Lottery, or that Yahoo is going to CHARGE for all its products starying next month, or ANY such thing - TREAT IT AS GARBAGE.  HOAX.\n\nThat is NOT how the real Yahoo communicates.

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!

If you don't recognize the email address, DON'T open it.  If you think it's from a friend, contact them first, just to make sure.

You can't block emails from unknown people but you can filter yahoo so that it only shows emails from senders who are in your contacts list. To do this, while you are in your inbox click on "All Messages" by view: and change that option to "Messages from my contacts."

I don't get your meaning? \n\nIf you meant you want to know the real names of people using yahoo services, you can try checking out \nhttp://profiles.yahoo.com/xxxxx\n\nwhere xxxxx is the yahoo id (email id) of that person

If you have their Yahoo ID or their first and last name you could do a profile search.\n\nJust type in Yahoo Member Directory and it should take you to the site where you can find people's profiles.\n\nThat doesnt mean that they will have their email address visible to the public though! Good Luck

You can check directories, like http://www.infospace.com. Generally, though, there's no sure way to link a person's identity to their e-mail address.

You can set up a Yahoo or Hotmail account thst allows you to look at you email from any computer.\n\nIt's web based so you don't need to have the computer you are using set up with any account details.\n\nThey are usually free as well.

Ask :) If it's not possible, you can search on yahoo member directory (if it is a yahoo address). But this is a confidential area and won't show every user's email address unless they added it to the member directory. (There's an option in yahoo profiles where a user can put his/her email address in the member directory). \n-Next option is to search for their full name, or full name + palce etc.  on google and hope they have put it somewhere on places like hi5, myspace, personal blog or any website. If not, then rue the fact why you didn't keep in touch with them before.

You can't unless they have included their email address in their profile (like I have).

http://people.yahoo.com/\n\nThat should be able to give you SOME people's email addresses, maybe not everyone's.

On the address bar, type:\n\nwww.profiles.yahoo.com/profileIDname  enter.\n\nExample - www.profiles.yahoo.com/emsluvr\n\nIf they have a profile set up, it will take you right to it.

go to your buddy list on yahoo and add the persons email address. once you do that you will see their name appear and beside it it will say (pending)Right click their name and go down to view profile. That should take you there.
