How Old is Your Yahoo Account?

i created the other account just to segregate my personal mails to those business and official mails. it's much better having both mails. i am more organize with my mails and easy to track down correspondence.

Well yes, but as for me, i don't use yahoo mail for bussiness mail since i have office mail, it is kinda hard if i need to use both yahoomail and my office mail to do bussiness relation. The bad side of this is, when i resign from that office, it will be hard for other bussiness relation that i make to contact me, since most of them might only remember my old office mail. Thanks.

Wow nine years old is really are old. The other one is pretty young, did you create the account when you get a new job or something. Also i do use other mail account for joining facebook, although i rarely use them for mailing purpose since no body know that mail account. And i agree with often changing mail will make people hard to track us down. Thanks for responding to this discussion my friend.

Well too bad for you. I hope you get your account back. Anyway, in what year actually you make those yahoo account, and it what year the account get hacked? Have you been created other yahoo mail account after that, or you just give up and make other mail service account. Thanks.

Well yes, usually we have more than one active mail account at one time. This is to prevent us to use our main mail account for joining site that are most likely will become a spammer. Also we some time use other mail to contact with a different group of user. Thanks.

yeah i made another one than after loosing the first one... side by side i also made other e-mail accounts. xoxo

Treating a genuine mail as spam is too much. Yahoo should stop this. Till then I would consider Gmail as the better option.

Well, i don't think yahoo will stop this thing, i think it might getting worse. With so many account to manage, some e-mail that are highly suspicious as a spam will most likely they block. I think they don't want their server to be flooded by junk mail like that. At least that what i think.

I agree that many Verification mail that are sent to our yahoomaill account is rarely arrive, although some come to the spam folder, most of them just not delivered to our yahoo account since yahoomail server reject the e-mail. I think it is a double edge sword since this kind of attitude protect many yahoo user from unwanted mail. Although you could get frustated because of this since yahoo also make you cannot join a certain site. As for me, i usually use different mail account ( a gmail account ) when i register to any site that require verification e-mail that are not work in yahoomail. Thanks for responding to this discussion.

I used my yahoo account for so long because I have actually lots of contacts with it and using my yahoo messenger with same yahoo ID itself. That's why I don't want to change it because many old friends and contacts know me through this mail address itself. Regards

Oh yes, If you have one id for so long, people will start depend on that id. Because if you change it, people might still send message to that email address and not all of your friend will be updated about your new e-mail address. That is also the reason of why i am not changing my e-mail adress. Thanks for responding this my friend.

Well that is a very short answer, but it is really answering my question, although it is not answering the question about the story / reason why you keep that yahoo id for so long. Please share it your experience with us about why you decide to keep using that id. Or did you actually already give up using it. Thanks for responding to this discussion.

Wow your account must be really old now. Even when is the first time i join yahoo, as far as i remeber, they minimal password length is 6 chacaracter. I don't know how old yahoo is, but i think it is exist even before i using The Internet for the very first time. Well anyway, did yahoo ask you to change your password now? Or did you still use the account at all. Thanks for responding to this discussion my freind. Happy my lotting.

Really??? Well maybe yahoo will think that no one will use the same password for a very long time, so they decide not to mail people to change their password. Or maybe they just too lazy :p . Anyway, thanks for responding to this discussion again, sorry for the late reply.

yup, it's still active i just logged onto it without a problem just now. curious enough, i never did receive any note from yahoo to change my password thought..

Well i know what you mean with an account being deleted after 90 days of inactive. I think i have experience that a few times. Anyway, 3 years is quite a long time, did you still use it now, or you use other mail account? I agree with you, yahoo account is realiable. Although i have experience issue with them, but it is only temporary, and at that time, no data was lost. It just missing or unaccessible for a few days. Thanks for responding this discussion my friend.

In my experience, unless you cancel your account, yahoo will not delete it, the mail part will just be deactivated but you can still use it for messenger and other yahoo services.

Well they actually will deleted your mail inbox if it was not active for a long time, so even if you recover your mail, all your data will be lost. At least that what happened to one of my friend account about 5 or 6 years ago. Anyway, i don't about the rules now. Thanks.

So you are about 25 now, aren't you? It is quite a long time. Did you often use it the first time you have it, or it is just another second account for you. Well it is been a while although now it is full of spam. Thanks for responding this discussion my friend.

well for now i actually have a 7 years old id too. This is what yahoo email for me: "Dear [My Name] Thank you for being a Yahoo! Mail user for the past 7 year(s). We look forward to bringing you an even faster, safer, easier-to-use Yahoo! Mail very soon. In the coming months, we will ask you to upgrade to the newest version of Yahoo! Mail for your account [MyEmail]. All Yahoo! Mail customers will be asked to upgrade. But in the meantime, you don't have to wait, you can have the newest Yahoo! Mail today. " Wowww, its been awhile sorry for the late reply

oh i see, well you actually have a few yahoo account. Did you use a lot of them, or you just create it and then let it die with time. It is hard to maintain a few e-mail account, especially from the same site since you can always login one of them at a time. Anyway thanks for the reply ( sorry if u wait too long for this since i hardly online now )

Yes, when there are many people who already know your e-mail, it iwll be hard to change it. People usually lazy to update their contact, so even if you change it, some people actually will still send mail to your old account. The same thing also apply to cell phone number. Thanks for responding this discussion my friend.

Wow it is actually older than my yahoo account. Since you don't use it as your main mail account, what you actually use for you main mail account. As for me, i use yahoo as my main mail account, although for office purpose i use my office mail address. Do you use yahoo messenger software to chat, or do you not use it? Because if you use yahoo messenger then there is a big chance that you will often use the mail account. Anyway, yes, thanks for the tips for user name and password. Happy mylotting my friend.

I use my yahoo account for certain yahoo sites. I really enjoy going on Yahoo Answers, Yahoo Groups, and playing around with the yahoo avatars. I don't really use the yahoo messenger anymore though...

Oh yes, i actually used other email for my business related email. I don;t want them to mix up and i got screwed because of that. I used email from my office for all business related stuff. I use my primary mail for other purpose. I used my unimportant mail for joining unimportant site.

Wow, its old man. By the way, i think it is not wise to share your mail account here ( or anywhere in the internet ). Since it will make people start spamming your mail account with many money making program, or spamming you with tricky evil mail trying to steal your id or pass. Anyway, thank and sorry for the late reply.

Well actually the thing that happened to your hotmail actually apply too in yahoo mail. I think i have my account deleted by yahoo and mymail become gone for being in active more then 90 days. I don't know if the rules still apply now since i almost login and check my mail every days. Anyway, thanks for responding this discussion my friend.

Well, i think the only reason you got many spam mail is because you showed your mail in the internet or you join many site that are really good at selling mail or doing spamming, most of them usually a making money site or an adult site. If that happened, keep using the block facility that yahoo give you, in time the spam will die. Thanks

Well it is good then, then your yahoo account age is not much different than your daughter age, and there is no way you could forget your daughter age. Well it is good to keep thing simple, hard to guess password could also simple, as long it is hard to guess by other. Thanks.

Well how long before you decide to stop using your oldest account ( accoutn that you created about 8 years ago )? And what so special about yahoomaill that make you decide that the e-mail account is for family and close friend only? Anyway, thanks for responding this discussion.

O i see, well, i actually the same with you. Since in the old days i rarely see email and at that time internet connection is slow and very expensive, so i rather delete any mail that i don't think important. Although i kinda regret it by now, but i think it is ok. Thanks for responding this discussion my friend. Happy mylotting to you.

Well thanks for your information my friend. Well i never enter a school where people there are man or girl only, i don;t think i can survive that. That kinf of situation the you have is hard for me. That is why i will need the internet to talk to other friend. Thanks for sharing it with us.
