Yes, you can, because I've done it a million times. However, the downside is that when you delete the account, it isn't just the e-mail address, but the entire network. My Yahoo, 360, briefcase, calendar, etc. etc. would also be deleted.
You can start a new one, transfer all that is important there, and then close out the entire account.
Here is where to go to do just that: https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user
Here's the copied and pasted warning:
"Before continuing, please consider the following information.
By terminating this account, you will lose your Yahoo! ID, Mail address, and Profile names. We will also delete your account data and settings across the Yahoo! network. This includes the contents of your HotJobs, Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Address Book, Yahoo! GeoCities, Yahoo! Briefcase, My Yahoo! and more.
In most cases your account will be deactivated and then deleted from our user registration database in approximately 90 days. This delay is necessary to discourage users from engaging in fraudulent activity. Additionally, due to the limited number of names available, we may allow other users to sign up for and use your current Yahoo! ID and profile names after your account has been deleted.
Click here to learn what information may possibly remain in our archived records after your account has been deleted. Terminating your Yahoo! Account does not alter or delete your Yahoo! People Search listing, which you need to edit or delete yourself. To satisfy terms agreed to in the Yahoo! Finance Terms of Service, personal information for users subscribed to Yahoo! Finance Premium Services will be kept by Yahoo! for at least 3 years after the subscription date.
We are sorry to see you go!
Are you sure you want to terminate your Yahoo! Account?
If so, please confirm your identity with your password. "

Easy. Go into your Account to search for Cancellation. You will be asked for your confirmation and the notice of Yahoo retaining the mail address on their record for a period of time. Your cancellation will take immediate effect. Next, getting a new account should be a breeze. I must sleep now.
