If you have an instant messenger installed you can choose to view profiles of people with yahoo id by\n\nMenu Bar option\n\nContacts | View Profile...\n\nIn the dialog box that appears enter the yahoo id before the "@" sign in the email address..\n\nThe "From" field in the mail that you receive in yahoo does not represent the mail address of the sender. It represents the name with which the sender wants to identify himself/herself.\n\nOne easy way to know the senders mail address is to click on the reply link and you will go to the compose page with the mail address of the sender filled in the "To" box.\n\nYou can also identify the sender from the header information relating to the mail which is generally hidden.  You can choose to display the header information by changing the settings in the "options" page...\nChoose mail settings and in that you will find \nMessages\n---Headers:  \n------Show brief headers on incoming messages (recommended)\n------Show all headers on incoming messages \n\nTo send a message to your IM without adding your name to their messenger contact list!!  It is a tool for communication between two know persons...\n\n\nhttp://www.futureaccountant.com/\n\nhttp://www.schoolingkids.com/

Firstly report him/her to Yahoo, or wherever else you have been recieving emails or messages.\nSecondly, make sure that your personal details aren't in the public domain anywhere online or elsewhere. I don't know what this person said to you, but the fact you used the word 'disturbing', makes me worry a little. I would for the moment make sure you have adequate anti-virus software and that you cannot be traced, meaning your address or phone number.\nUnfortunately there are a lot of strange people on the internet, it's given a new, more discreet and untraceable forum to weirdos across the world.\nBe careful, I wish you all the best. \nDana

It certainly can. Look at the header. You will see that there's a list of the servers whose hands the mail passed through. The last one in the list shows the IP address of the machine it originated on (if it hasn't been forged).\n\nLook up that IP address using a DNS lookup website and it should tell you the ISP of that machine. Send the entire email as an attachment to abuse@ ... and the domain of the ISP and sit back and wait.\n\nThey may respond or they may not.\n---------------------------------\nThe header is the start of the email before the text. It's not usually displayed but here is the link to how to see it:\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/uk/mail/config/config-11.html\n\nThe person to contact is NOT Yahoo but the ISP of the machine from which it was sent.\n\nIf the offensive mails come from someone who has your email address because you previously corresponded with them or the mail is sent to you and you alone personally, then is technically not Spam.\n\nYou best bet is to create a filter that will delete mail from that person. Details of how to do that are in Mail Help on the Yahoo Mail website.

Hit the button that says "spam" and put a check mark next to the email(s).\nIf you continue to get mail from this person, it will automatically be re-directed to your spam folder and you wont be subjected to reading it anymore.  \n\n GIT-R-DONE!!!

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.

You can send an instant message or email to that person and see if they respond. Otherwise, there's no way of knowing. Yahoo! will not give out information about you to anyone who inquires with your screen name.

your best bet would be to search the net for the name of the person you are looking for and @hotmail.com\n\nif you have any luck, the person might have posted the email and his name on some webpage, forum, question etc.\n\nthere is no way you could get a list of emails and users from hotmail ... unless you'd have a friend at M$

Email the person to find out. \n\nYahoo will not tell you because of their privacy policy, so emailing the person is really your only choice.

dont you remember your secret question and secret answeR? if not, then you would need someone to get it back for you. I could help you out but i would need a few things... i need the userid and i need to see the person online. I would be then be able to get the email... but since yahoo is free, get a new one...

oh, sorry. that went to the wrong person. jk lol. but seriously, if you have the e-mail address you can do a reverse email lookup. or you can report it to the police and have them get someone to track the IP back.

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.
