Closting Yahoo Mail Without Closing Yahoo Account - Is it possible?
The following thread explains how to close a Yahoo! Account Completely:
http://www.emaildiscussions.com/...&threadid=3704 However, if you use the following procedure: Quote:
Here's what I would like to do: I would like to close only my Yahoo! Mail account but maintiain my other yahoo properties such as geocities, groups, calendar, IM, etc. However, I really want the email account terminated so that the address becomes invalid. It is possible to create a yahoo ID and have all properties without a Yahoo mail account, but the $64,000 question here is: Is it possible to close out only the Yahoo Mail part once it's been established without disturbing the other properties?

I don't see how. These services are just so interconnected under one account.
I think this would be one for yahoo support (if they'd answer your question even!) |

I think the only way to do this might be to have someone at Yahoo! Inc. go in and do it manually. Maybe when I have too much time on my hands, I might give Yahoo! Inc. a call and ask. If I get an answer, I'll post it here. In the mean time, does anyone else know? Munchkin? esTester? Unhappysoul? Beuller? Anyone? Anyone?

I would have to agree with Lisa on this. Once you activate part of the account then you cannot de-activate it because it is all the same account. I bet that Yahoo could do something about it pretty easily, but my guess is that they wouldn't. Who knows, it's worth a shot if you really wanted this mail account closed.
