Yahoo answers told me to ask you, the general public this question. How do I enable the email option on Yahoo Answers? I was trying to email some one who chose my answer as the best answer to thank them, but could not do so because I do not have the email option enabled. Can some one explain how to enable this function?

I think your email address has to be varified
Go into My Q&A and click on the EDIT MY INFO LINK underneath your avatar. Then the page will load with options for setting the email address and everything.

Even when the link to email you appear, your email address needs to be verified.
Go to "My Account" and on "Member Information" you need to give a valid alternative email address not linked to yahoo.
If you are afraid of spam, invent a hotmail or gmail account and then press "verify"
You will receive an email from yahoo and you just have to click where they say.
I just found out this... I didn't want to get spam so I hadn't verified my Alternate email.
By the way, my new alternate email address is nenas.spam@...
Hmmm... now that I think it over... does it happen to you with everybody or just with that particular person? If it is just with that person, it is him/her the one who should verify his/her email address. If this is the case, you cannot do anything to contact that person. You can leave a comment on his/her comment... Sometimes, but very rarely, people go back to read what the the one who answered said.

To email someone THEY have to have email enabled on their own profile. Many people dont bother, like me.
