Cannnot accesss yahoo mail account

I assume you wish to access email in a different Yahoo! Mail account. Yahoo! allows you to access only one account at a time. To sign in as a different user, you must first sign out from the account you are currently accessing.

To sign out from Yahoo! Mail, click on the "Sign out" link in the upper left corner of the web page:



Then go to the Yahoo! Mail page (http://mail.yahoo.com), and sign in with the new user ID and password.

Hope that's helpful.

Good Day Hemichic!

The easiest way to cancel your Yahoo Mail account is to go to https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user.

First, you will be asked to sign in using your Yahoo I.D. and password.
Then, "Terminating your Yahoo! Account" page will appear, You have to confirm your password and type it in the box.
Next, copy the code shown and type it in the small box before pressing the "YES Terminate this Account" button.

Please remember!

You must be aware that if you delete your account, you could lose all services belonging to the Yahoo products like your Yahoo! GeoCities page, your My Yahoo! settings, your Hotjobs profile and other data in services belonging to the Yahoo!

And if you are paying for any subscription services using your Yahoo Mail account, it is better to cancel all of them before terminating your Yahoo Mail account.

Approximately, 90 days will be given to any terminated Yahoo Mail account before it is completely deleted from the Yahoo users database.


Hope this fix your problem. Please do rate my answer.
Thank you for asking Fixya.

Send an mail describing your problem to Yahoo! Account Security Department e-mail address: [email protected] mentioning the problem and all the details you can think of (like when you last accessed your account etc).

or

Call Yahoo!: 1-408-349-1572 or 1+ 866-562-7219 then press on #2 and explain to a customer service person what happened. They will ask you to answer certain questions and then they will compare your original info with the changed info.

I recommend calling them.

More in formation on the Yahoo! Account Security page yahoo account security.

Hope this helps and you get your account back.

P.S. Don't know if the number is toll-free!

yes you can ---- sort of .
in the Yahoo / My Yahoo home page , go to your settings page .
under the account settings , you should be able to see or find where it mentions -- Aliases .
now you can configure or save some new nicknames under the aliases . like if your real id is ABC , create aliases as XYZ or 123 or PQR etc .....
and save them .
now you can use either of these for yourself , but maintain the same account and inbox settings .
like [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
now see , these seem to be different email addresses , but in infact they are just only aliases or alternate addresses for one same account . but obviously only you know that ...
all mails at these addresses will fall under one same inbox .

you can also export your mail to some another email services like Gmail or Live mail , if you want to retain your mails but dont want to use your yahoo address .
hope it helps ...

20. Tap Done

1. Click Options in the upper-right corner of the page and select Mail Options.
2. Under “Management”, click Mail Addresses.
3. Click Add.
4. In the box, enter an account name for your own reference (for example, Work or School) …and click Continue.
5. There would be two boxes: In the first one, put the name you’d like others to see when they get email from this address. In the second one, type the Email address you’d like send from – from within Yahoo! Mail! (You’ll be asked to verify this other address in an email we will send to you there.) Click Continue.
6. Do you want to be able to check email in this account from your Yahoo! account as well? (You can check your mail in clients like Outlook and Eudora, but currently you won’t be able to check mail in other webmail accounts with providers like Hotmail, Gmail or Yahoo. You can send from these other addresses from within Yahoo! Mail.)
1. If yes, (you want to check mail in your Outlook or Eudora or similar client), skip to step 9.
2. If no, you don't want to check mail in this account, you just want to be able to SEND from it from inside your Yahoo! account. Click Skip this Step at the bottom of the Add Account page and continue to step 7.
7. On the page that opens, check to make sure you’ve entered the correct email address. If you need to make any changes, click Edit Address. If it looks fine, click Send Verification to generate the email we send to you to make sure this is an actual account you use.
8. The “Verify Account” page opens. Here’s the easiest way to complete your setup and start sending mail from the new address:
1. Leave this "Verify Account" page open.
2. In a different browser window or application, sign into your other Mail account.
3. Look for an email from Yahoo! Member Services, and open it.
4. Copy the “confirmation code” in the last line of the email by either double-clicking it or clicking and dragging over it, then either clicking Copy from the Edit menu or pressing Ctrl + “c”. (Mac users press Command + “c”.)
5. Get back on the “Verify Account” page and Paste that confirmation code in the box beside “Confirmation Code:” …You can paste by clicking Paste in the Edit menu, or by pressing Ctrl + “v”. (Mac users press Command + “v”.)
6. At the bottom of the page, click Verify Account.
7. A sign-in page opens with your ID already filled in. Sign in with your password.
8. You’re done. See the new account in the list on your Mail Accounts page? Now you can easily send from it by opening a Compose page, clicking the down-arrow on the end of the “From:” box, and clicking the new account in the pull-down list of email addresses. People receiving the message will see it as being sent from that address.
9. OK, so you also want to be able to check email in this other account from your Yahoo! Mail account? No problem. On the page you’re looking at, enter that account’s mail server name (currently, only POP mail servers are supported). It will be something like pop.goestheweasel.com. To find out what it is, either search that application’s Help pages for “POP” or “server” (or both), or contact that email provider directly.
10. Next, type your user name for that account and the password. This is completely confidential! Nobody has access to this information, but Yahoo! Mail needs it to check the account. Note: Your user name is the text in your email address before the "@" symbol.
11. We thought a good way to identify mail from different accounts would be to give it a different color in your Yahoo! Inbox. So that’s what this last part is about: pick an indicator color to mark messages received from this account.
12. Click Setup Mail Server. You should now be looking at the “Verify Account” page. Go back to Step 7 to hopskotch your way through account verification. Once that’s done, you can do it all from Yahoo! Mail – check mail in that account and send mail from that account.

Note: Yahoo! Mail only retrieves messages from your external (POP) mail accounts when you request it. Do this by clicking the other account’s server name in the upper-left corner of the page under “Check Other Mail”.

Important: The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server now requires authentication. To turn this setting on:

1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
2. Select the "Mail" tab.
3. Double-click the account labelled "pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk."
4. Select the "Servers" tab.
5. Check the box next to "My Server Requires Authentication."
6. Click "OK."

To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail server:

1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
2. Select the "Mail" tab.
3. Double-click the account labelled "pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk."
4. Select the "Advanced" tab.
5. If you'd like to keep a copy of your email messages on the Yahoo! Mail server, check the box next to "Leave a copy of messages on the server." If you want to delete your messages from the Yahoo! Mail server after viewing them in Outlook Express, don't check the box.

If you're unable to send email, try using port 587 when sending via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. Here's how to make this change:

1. From the "Tools" menu, select "Accounts."
2. Select your Yahoo! POP account and click the "Properties" button.
3. Click the "Advanced" tab.
4. Next to "Outgoing server (SMTP"), change port 25 to 587.
5. Click "Apply." Then click "OK" and "Close."

This is a very common problem. Upgrading you iphone firmware if it's not current may solve this problem. Or try changing your address for the account from [email protected]" to your yahoo id without the "@yahoo.com"

Otherwise the built-in yahoo option for iphone can be buggy:

1. Delete the Yahoo account on your iphone
2. Create anew account via Other option
3. Fill in the usual user id and password fields
   
4. Under IMAP tab set Host Name under Incoming Mail Server to imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com
5. Under Outgoing Mail Server, in Host Name field set it to cwmx.com

If you have a very large yahoo inbox, you may have to do the following:

1. Go to your yahoo account in a regular browser on your computer. Makesure you're using the new version of Yahoo mail (the one that looks andfeels like outlook).

2. Create a new folder. I called mine "archive - inbox".

3. Select ALL emails in your inbox so that your inbox folder will becompletely empty once you move them (there's a box you can check whichwill select everything). I had over 5,000 emails in my inbox, so thiswould have taken ages using the Classic version of Yahoo mail.

4. Move all emails to your newly created archive folder. Go back intothe archive folder and select any unread/new emails and move them backto your inbox.

5. Go into Yahoo on your iphone and refresh the mail. This will clearout the old emails and download the most recent emails from your inbox.
