How to disable old Yahoo email address?

How can I disable my Yahoo email?

  • I have a couple of people harassing me on my email address so I want to disable it but I don't want to delete the account because somebody could create that account again and then pretend to be me. Is there any way to disable a yahoo email account without deleting the account or without allowing someone else to create an account under the same name? (I've tried setting up a vacation response, but that doesn't bounce every email, it only bounces one email per sender)

To cancel your Yahoo account, go here: https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user Then do the following: -Login with your current username and password -Select which account that you want to delete -Enter in your password once again for verification purposes -Enter in the anti-spam code; this is to prevent automated submissions -Click Terminate This Account to finish off this process. You can never open your account back up again because of security reasons. By terminating your Yahoo account, you will permanently lose access to it. Everything stored in your account will be lost during that process. All this includes: -Mail -Address Book -Answers (your posted content will remain permanently archived) -Messenger -My Yahoo! -Groups -Alerts -Flickr -Any other area that is accessible with your username and password The only other alternative is to let your account lapse after 6 months of inactivity, plus 2 months for each year you have been a member. Reminder: If you are already subscribed to any or all of Yahoo’s premium services, you are recommended to cancel them first before deleting your account.
