How do you permanently close a yahoo email account?

I do not like the way the guidelines are applied by Yahoo and want nothing further to do with Yahoo.
How do you permanently close a yahoo email account?
Yes, you can terminate/delete/close your yahoo account anytime by visiting...

Important Point to beware of :-


Closing your entire Yahoo! account means that they will also close any other items associated with your Yahoo ID, such as Aliases, Profiles, Classified Ads, Clubs that you are either the founder or a member of, Finance portfolios, etc. You will not be able to sign in to any of Yahoo!'s services under this ID, or any aliases (eg if you're using that ID at some other website) associated with it once it is closed.


So decide to terminate your account wisely...

Reply:The only way to delete your Y!A account is to delete your Yahoo account (email, etc).





You can however set up your profile to make your Q%26amp;A private, and to not allow email %26amp; IM. You can delete any open questions %26amp; answers, but all resolved questions %26amp; answers are the property of Y!A. Then you just stop coming here.





To delete your entire Yahoo account (email, flickr, messenger, etc) go here: http://help.yahoo.c om/l/us/yahoo/edit/changing_users/edit-2...





Note: even if you delete your Yahoo account your questions %26amp; answers remain here in Y!A.
Reply:I want to close this yahoo account but none of the links provided by the previous guys who answered, works.


I wonder why?


Why isn't there a button in Profile so we can click and finish the business in a civilised way?


Why do we have to spend ages asking - we don't know who - about this?


It's Yahoo's responsibility to provide quick and easy to find answer.


What is all this?

Then do the following:


-Login with your current username and password


-Enter in your password once again for verification purposes


-Enter in the anti-spam code; this is to prevent automated submissions


-Click Terminate This Account to finish off this process.





Once you deleted your account, you can never open it back up again due to security reasons.





By terminating your account, you will lose access to your entire Yahoo! ID. Everything stored in your account will be lost during the termination process. All this includes the following:


-Mail


-Address Book


-360


-Answers (your posted content will remain permanently archived)


-Briefcase


-My Yahoo!


-Groups


-Alerts


-Flickr


-Any other area that is accessible with your username and password





The only other alternative is to let your account lapse after 4 months of inactivity. Go here to read more about it:
