How can people join Yahoo groups without a Yahoo account?

How do people register with Yahoo! to join groups, without starting a Yahoo! email account?

  • I have a Yahoo! Group which persons would like to join. They already have email accounts through other providers that they would like to keep, and they don't want a new email account at Yahoo! Such persons used to be able to register a Yahoo! ID and password without opening an email account - but things have changed. How do they register to join the my Yahoo! Group without starting a Yahoo! email account?

  • Answer:

    I have a Yahoo account but I don't use it. When I joined Yahoo groups and answers I just listed my hotmail accounts as my e-mail address. They accept that and any e-mails I get in response to my posts goes to my hotmail account. I must say I'm glad I did because I've seen posts of people who've had their accounts suspended for violations and they've complained that they can't get into their e-mail anymore. At least if I get suspended for some reason I don't have to worry about accessing my e-mail.

I haven't gone through the account process in a long time. it could be you have to also have the e-mail but no one has to use it in their groups however it is good to have in case their own server mail goes down. once a person goes to the sign up for a group, there is a choice on that page (add new e-mail) which the confirm and they can use that.
