Important Notes:

• Before changing your email address, make sure you have access to the email account associated with your Yahoo account. You'll need to verify your new email address by clicking on a verification link sent to your new email address.
• Changing your email address will not automatically update your email address in other Yahoo services, such as Yahoo Messenger or Yahoo Finance. You'll need to update those services separately.
• If you're changing your email address due to a security concern, you may want to consider creating a new Yahoo account with a new email address and transferring your data to the new account.
