How can I remove alternate email address without deleting it?

1 comment so far


My wife set up my email account and used her email address to send verification. Now we cant be logged on at the same time or chat. We don’t want to delete her email address, just remove it.

    Go to your profile, click “edit my info”, scroll down to “email”, under “use another email address” click “add an email address”, enter a new mail address which is NOT registered with Yahoo. You need this so Yahoo can send you a temporary password in case your current password ever causes problems. Then click “preview” at the bottom and “okay”. That way you can keep the old mail address, but from now on Yahoo will send all messages to the new address.
