Log Into My Ymail Account

"Ymail," a division of Yahoo!, is not the same as the Yahoo! email service.
The main different revolves around the URL at the end of your email address.

Instead of "@yahoo.com" these addresses are written as "@ymail.com."
This slight variation might confuse you about how to log into your Ymail account.

The login instructions are similar to that of Yahoo! mail. Additionally, you can recover your ID or password if you have forgotten it.

Visit the Yahoo! login page by typing "ymail.com" into the URL bar.
This takes you to both the Yahoo! email sign in and the Ymail sign in.

Type your username into the "Yahoo! ID" box.
This is the part of your email address that comes before "@ymail.com."

Type in your password.
If your password doesn't work, or you don't remember it, choose the blue "I Can't Access My Account" from the bottom of the sign in box.

Choose the option that describes your situation best. Options include: "I Forgot My Password", "My Password Doesn't Work", "I Forgot My Yahoo! ID" and "My Account May Have Been Compromised". Press "Next."

Follow the on-screen directions to set a new password or recover your ID.

Change a Yahoo Mobile Number

When you log out of your Yahoo Messenger account, messages and alerts automatically go to your mobile phone number if it is associated with your account.

You can change your Yahoo Mobile phone number if you have a new number or want to switch to a different device.

New messages and alerts will be sent to the new number you designate after the change. Changes you make to the number take effect immediately.

Click the "Start" button on your computer and hover over "All Programs."
Click "Yahoo Messenger" to open the program.


Log into your Yahoo account with your ID and password.
Click "Messenger" in the top menu and then click "Preferences."


Click "Edit Mobile Phone" to view the mobile settings for your Yahoo account.
Click "Delete" next to "Messenger Phone" and select "Remove Alerts for This Device."

Click "Delete Device" and the phone number will be removed from your Yahoo Mobile account.
Click "Add Alerts Device" and advance to the next step.


Enter your 10-digit mobile phone number in the indicated field. Select your mobile service provider from the drop-down list and continue to the next step.

A text message with a confirmation code will be sent to your mobile phone. Enter the confirmation code from the text message in the field indicated on Yahoo.

Click "Confirm" to add the new number to your Yahoo Mobile account.

If you have an alternate email on file Yahoo can send you a password reset link or you can correctly answer your secret questions to change your password immediately.

Please note: When you change your password, it can sometimes take up to 24 hours for the change to take effect.

If you forgot the answers to your secret questions and didn't put an alternate email address or mobile phone number into your account, Yahoo! won't be able to send you a new password and you will need to contact Yahoo directly.

Click here to fill out a Yahoo help form:

http://io.help.yahoo.com/contact/index?l...

Select Yahoo Account as the product, Password and Sign In as the category and Unable to Sign In as the sub-category. Scroll down and click Email Support Agent to send your request.

For your security, you must be able to verify your identity before Yahoo can help you.
If you can successfully change your password and get back into your account, be sure to update your account information:

Dear Mam / Sir, My Yahoo ID is : [email protected] I Know my password but when i enter my password on yahoo Mail that time yahoo mail page not except my password. It shows below message has...

f you forgot your Yahoo! ID, you need to provide three pieces of information so we can confirm your identity:
  • Your birthday
  • Your ZIP or postal code (at the time you created your Yahoo! account or when you last updated it)
  • Your alternate email address -Note: You must have access to this email address
  • Country code (at the time you created your Yahoo! account or when you last updated it)
Be sure to provide the same information you gave the last time you registered for a new Yahoo! ID or password or the last time you updated your account.
If you forgot your password, you can create a new one. But first you'll have to provide the following information so we can confirm your identity:
  • Your Yahoo! ID
  • Alternate email address, mobile phone number, or the answers to your secret questions
A Reset Your Password link will be sent to your alternate email address. Click the link and enter your new password in the Reset your password page.
If you entered your secret question incorrectly or forgot what you originally entered, for security reasons, we cannot tell you what your Yahoo! ID is or let you create a new password.


To change your password:
  1. From the Yahoo! Home page, click on your user name in the upper right.(You will need to be signed in already)
  2. From the drop down select Account Info
  3. You will be asked to sign in again to enter your Account Info page.
  4. Click Change your password
  5. You will be taken to a page that will look like the one below.

    131-0000000003.jpg
  6. Enter your current password.
  7. Enter and confirm your new password.
  8. Click Save. You will see a confirmation page when you have successfully changed your password.
  9. Click Continue.
Your Yahoo! password always applies to your entire Yahoo! account. This means that it is valid not only for Yahoo! Mail but also for Yahoo!'s other personalized services like :
  • Yahoo! Messenger
  • Yahoo! Chat
  • My Yahoo!
  • Yahoo! Finance
Note: If you are having difficulty logging into your account or believe your account may have been compromised please request a new password.
