What happens after you close your account?
After you close your Yahoo Mail account, your email address will no longer be active, and you will no longer be able to access your account. Any emails, contacts, and other data associated with your account will be deleted.
Important notes:
- Before closing your account, make sure to export any important data, such as contacts, emails, or calendar events, as you will not be able to access them after closing your account.
- If you have a Yahoo ID associated with other Yahoo services, such as Yahoo Finance or Yahoo News, you will need to close those accounts separately.
- Closing your Yahoo Mail account will not automatically close any other accounts you may have with Yahoo or other services.
