Report it to the provider of the email account.

Well first of all to protect your email you can remove your self from the yahoo member directory.

Everytime you sign in for an email you get automatically listed on the yahoo member directory and all anyone has to do when they see you there is add @yahoo.com to find out if your email is legit.

Another thing is you might wanna block html content from displaying on your email when you open it since people make up addressed randomly and know they are legit when the htm conent loads on the email.

You might also try changing your secret question and answer and your password.

To block htm content look in ur mail options found when ur in the inbox should be to ur right is under spam protection

To remove yoru self from the member directory just go to http://members.yahoo.com and when you edit ur profile chose to remove it from the member directory.

Also careful the sites you visit since they phish info.

contact me on yahoo messenger if you need any more help

Try to also check for viruses cuz key logger viruses send your personal info to anyone who put it there and that can jeopardize ur account

change your password and change the security questions for it so that only YOU can figure out the answers. Obviously someone who knows you well enough to answer the questions is getting your email password.

mark that email as spam to send it bulk directory.
When you send an e-mail to your friend, your e-mail can be caught by others.
Be careful when typing and clicking.
