don't bother about it, just ignore it.\n           first thing no responsible email provider will close ur account without genuine reason,and secondly why would yahoo ask u forward the mail???If they want they can send mail to any yahoo account themselves,they don't require ur help[even the mail ids in ur mail box are stored on yahoo servers]

ifyou enter incorrect pass for continuously 10 or more times,,, your account wil be officially locked for 12 hours to protect you account\n\nthis is done to protect your account from hackers trying to hack in , with different pass\n\ntry after 12 hours it might work\n\nyou can also contact yahoo support for this

There's no way to delete your e-mail account. The only option is to stop using if. If you don't log-in for a specified period of 2 months (or 4), your account will be automatically deactivated.\n\nHowever, you can log-in after the deactivation, but you will lose all the emails.

You can completely forget about your hotmail account. Whats going to happen is that it will close after 90 days with NO ACTIVITY. I've had this happen with one of my hotmail accounts and I got an email saying that it will be deleted if the account isnt activated. \n\nIf need be, you can always contact the folks at msn.com. But just leave the account alone and it will be closed by the Hotmail peeps.

You can change how often Yahoo! prompts you for your password in My Account. The max is 24 hours, and although I would like to have to sign in again less frequently than that, they do it for security reasons and that seems fair to me.

Your yahoo account will be freezed if you didn't access it for more than three months. As in your case, it's 5 years. Yahoo! must have deleted your account from their database. You could create a new account with that old username. Try it.

Yeah, stop using them and the account will automatically expire after six months. You can also manually delete your entire Yahoo account.

You have to declare a variable, which you will use for the last activity time. Then at specified intervals check to see how long it has been since the last activity. If it has been longer than your limit then you can run code to log the user out.\n\nBTW, this is also how you would present them with a count-down until log out.

While the question is not very specific, you could:\n\nSimply login  -> retrieve your password if necessary\n\nConnect via POP3 with Outlook or Thunderbird\n\nNote: Yahoo does delete accounts that have been inactive for a long period of time.

there can be many reasons.. best to wait 24 hours as this is how long a temporary ban usually lasts for. also change your password as someone else might be using your account for evil purposes

How do I close my account?\n\nYahoo! members can remove their own accounts and account information from Yahoo!. Please follow the instructions below to initiate the deletion of your account.\n\nBy terminating your account, you will lose access to your Yahoo! ID, Yahoo! Mail, and profile names. We will also delete your account data and settings across the Yahoo! network. This includes any contents in:\n\n    * Yahoo! Mail\n    * Yahoo! Address Book\n    * Yahoo! HotJobs\n    * GeoCities\n    * Yahoo! Briefcase\n    * My Yahoo!\n    * Yahoo! Groups\n    * Finance Portfolio\n    * Any other area of Yahoo! that can only be accessed with your Yahoo! ID and password\n\nPlease be sure you want to delete your entire account as you will not be able to reactivate it after the account has been deleted. You are always welcome to sign up again for a new account.\n\nTerminating your Yahoo! account does not alter or delete your Yahoo! People Search listing, which you need to edit or delete yourself.\n\nIf you are subscribed to any premium services, we recommend that you first cancel those premium services before you delete your account. There is no guarantee that deleting your Yahoo! account will immediately cancel the billing for any premium services you might be subscribed to. To cancel your current subscriptions, visit Yahoo! Billing Information for your account, choose the "My Services" tab, and click the "Cancel" link for each subscription.\n\nTo remove your entire account, please visit our Account Deletion page. You will be asked to sign in to or verify your password for the account you wish to delete. Please be sure to read the next page carefully, as important information about your account is included. You can then confirm the deletion of your account.\n\nIf you're having trouble signing in, you can get password help on the Sign-in and Registration Help page.\n\nPlease complete the deletion process only if you are certain you would like to remove your entire Yahoo! account and any features you have personalized within the account. After the deletion process is initiated, your Yahoo! account can never be recovered.\n\n\nOVERALL TRY THIS LINK\n\nhttps://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user

If it has been less than 90 days, just sign back in and the account will reactivate. It takes a long time for a big service to really get around to deleting your account. If it is already gone, it's gone. Open another one.

Abuse is the only reason why Yahoo might stop you from login using your ID. Some would say it as a sort of punishment. However, Yahoo has a punishment policy for people who put abusive questions or answers by deducting 10 points from their score. I somehow don't feel that description fits onto you, because neither have you asked or replied such questions or answers. You have been consistenly rising.\n\nI know some people have been logged off, because their score rose by at a rate of 100 per hour, which does seem as a case of cheating.\n\nI was just a little curious, how did you ask this question if you were unable to log on.

after so long, yahoo deletes inactive accounts. if you've been away for more than 3 months, you need a new id. if not, well sorry, your best bet is the "contact us" link where you can e-mail your question, and wait 3-5 business days for an answer.
