Important notes:

• Before deleting your account, make sure you have backed up any important emails or data you want to keep.
• Deleting your Yahoo Mail account will also delete all associated data, including contacts, calendar events, and email messages.
• If you have a Yahoo ID (username) associated with your email account, you will need to delete that separately.
• Deleting your Yahoo Mail account will not automatically delete your Yahoo ID, but you will no longer be able to access your email account.

Alternative: Downgrade or archive your account

If you're not ready to delete your account entirely, you can consider downgrading your account to a basic email account or archiving your account. This will allow you to keep your email address and associated data, but you won't be able to access your account or send/receive emails.

To downgrade or archive your account, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Yahoo Mail sign-in page and enter your email address and password.
2. Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner of the page.
3. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
4. Scroll down to the "Account" section and click on "Account info".
5. Click on "Downgrade account" or "Archive account" at the bottom of the page.
6. Follow the prompts to complete the process.

Remember to carefully review the terms and conditions before making any changes to your account.
