Does Yahoo delete inactive accounts?

Yes, Yahoo does close inactive email accounts. Accounts that are inactive for a certain period of time (typically 6 months) will be closed and the user’s data will be deleted.

A Yahoo account can be inactive for up to one year before it is automatically deleted.

Yahoo began deleting inactive accounts in 2013.

To recover an inactive Yahoo email account, you will need to provide proof of identity. This can be done by submitting a scanned copy of your government-issued ID or a recent utility bill with your name and address on it. Once your identity has been verified, Yahoo will restore access to your email account.

There are a few reasons why Yahoo might delete an email account. One reason could be that the account has been inactive for a certain amount of time and Yahoo assumes that the owner no longer wants the account. Another reason could be that the owner has violated Yahoo’s terms of service, for example by sending too many spam messages.

In December of 2017, Yahoo announced that all of its email accounts had been compromised in a 2013 data breach. The company urged users to change their passwords and security questions, and warned that hackers may have stolen personal information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and dates of birth.

Yes, Yahoo email is still active. However, the company has been through a lot of changes in recent years and it’s not as popular as it once was.

In most cases, inactive email accounts are eventually deleted. However, there may be some circumstances in which an account is not deleted, such as if it was used to sign up for a service or if it is needed for customer service purposes.

If you are having trouble recovering your Yahoo Mail account, you can call Yahoo’s customer service line at 1-800-YAHOO-HELP. They should be able to help you recover your account and access your old messages.

Yes, Yahoo still exists in 2021. However, it is a much different company than it was in 2001. The company has been through several rounds of layoffs and has pivoted to a more mobile-focused platform. While it is still one of the largest internet companies in the world, its market share has been declining in recent years.

There is no official announcement yet, but there are rumors that Yahoo Mail will be shutting down in 2020. Users are encouraged to switch to a different email service before that happens.v
