When are dormant accounts removed?
If an account has not been logged into for over four months, it will become "dormant."
Dormant accounts are de-activated at the end of four months. Once an account is deactivated, you will no longer have access regardless of whether or not email has been received in the account during that time.
Once an account has been de-activated, we cannot retrieve any of the information that was formerly stored in it.
Please Note: Subscribing to any of the Yahoo! Mail Premium Services will prevent your account from going dormant due to inactivity. To learn more about the individual services and sign up, please visit:

By subscribing to one of the Yahoo! Mail Premium Services, you will no longer need to sign in periodically to keep your account active.
How do I create a vacation response?
You can have an automatic response sent to anyone who sends an email to your Yahoo! Mail account by setting up a Vacation Response. This feature is accessible from the "Mail Options" menu (the link for "Mail Options" is located on the top right-hand navigation bar).
To setup a Vacation Response:
Set the duration of the message. Enter the starting date of your vacation in the "Start Date" field and the end date of your vacation in the "End Date" field. For example:
From: 07/01/02
To: 08/30/02
Write a generic note of up to ten lines that will be sent out to anyone that writes to your Yahoo! Mail address while you are away.
Optional: You can also write a special note that will only be sent to specific domains. For example, if you have family members that have email addresses with IBM, you can send a more personal Vacation Response to any incoming messages from "any-name@ibm.net." Set up that special message, and then go to the bottom of the page and specify the domain(s) that you want the special response to go to.
When you are completely done, click on the "Turn Auto-Response On" button and your Vacation Response will be activated.
When you return, if you would like to stop the Vacation Response message from being sent, simply go back to the Vacation Response page and click the "Turn It Off" button to deactivate the response.
Please note: When a user writes to an account with an active Vacation Response, they will receive only one response, no matter how many times they write to that account.

Here is what I suggest. Go into your account that u want to save and click on "Vacation Response." Make a vacation response message to be sent back to everyone that e-mails u. This should say "I have stopped using my account for inbound messages. If I want u to have my new e-mail address I will contact u." Then make sure that u keep logging into your Yahoo account every week or so and they will never delete it but people will learn that u are not wanting e-mail there. If u get any just delete it (unless u are nosy and want to read it). LOL
