In just a few steps, you can shut down your entire Yahoo
Mail account and revoke access to your email address, remove all your emails,
and prevent people from messaging you.
What Does It Mean to Delete a Yahoo Mail Account?
Deleting a Yahoo Mail account means not only that your
emails will be removed and you'll lose access to your account, but you'll also
no longer have access to your My Yahoo settings, your Flickr account and
photos, and other data stored in Yahoo's services.
If you're paying for any Yahoo subscription services,
remember to cancel these subscriptions first to avoid unexpected payments. The
same is true if you have a Flickr Pro membership.
How to Delete Your
Yahoo Mail Account?
·
Open Yahoo's "delete user" page and
enter your username. Click Next.
·
Enter your password. If you have an Account Key
set up, Yahoo will send a message to your mobile phone to authenticate you.
·
Read the text on the page titled "Before
continuing, please consider the following information." It details what
you will lose when you delete your Yahoo Mail account. Click or tap the
Continue button.
·
Enter your email address once more into the
field provided.
·
Select Yes, terminate this account.
·
You'll know it worked if you see a message that
reads "Your account has been deactivated and scheduled for deletion."
·
Click or tap the Sounds good button to return to
Yahoo's homepage.
In some cases, Yahoo won't actually remove everything for up
to 180 days, but that depends largely on the country you signed up from. Data
connected to a Yahoo Finance Premium account might be kept for three calendar
years.
How to Cancel a BT Yahoo Mail Premium Account?
If you got your Yahoo Mail account with British
Telecommunications (BT), you cannot cancel the service using the Yahoo Mail
account termination page. You can, however, contact BT directly to have your
Yahoo Mail Premium account deleted.
Things to Remember
Here are some important things to be aware of when it comes
to deleting your Yahoo account:
What Will Happen to My Yahoo Mail User Name and Email
Address? Your username and email address will be available for others to use in
the future, so they might receive messages meant for you if senders still use
your old email address.
Can I Reactivate a Closed Yahoo Mail Account? Yes, you can
reactivate your account even after you've marked it for deletion. To reopen a
deleted Yahoo Mail account, just log on to the account within 40 days after
deleting it. You can do this through the regular Yahoo Mail web page. Once
you've reactivated the account, you can start getting emails once again, but
know that you will not be able to see any emails that were sent to the account
while it was closed.
What Happens to Emails Sent to My Address After I Close My
Yahoo Mail Account? In the meantime (starting as soon as you close your
account), senders trying to message your deleted Yahoo Mail account's address
will receive a delivery failure message.
