How to Change Yahoo Email Address

Are you still willing to continue the same Yahoo Mail account that you created during your college time? Why I’m saying this because I’ve seen people creating email accounts with a strange username and changing it at a later stage.

Imagine you are sending corporate emails or mailing to the potential clients using that funky username roughcoolroger@yahoo.com (example). This is definitely not cool, and coming up with something like roger_watson@yahoo.com will certainly make sense. So, the question is – “how can I change my Yahoo Mail address?” You need to create a new Yahoo Mail account. For this, you must use a new username, i.e. you will have a new email address. However, you can keep the current email address and go for a new email address sign-up. Or, if you wish to cancel it, it is possible too.

Cancel the Current Yahoo Account and Register a New One

• Log-in to your existing Yahoo Mail account, go to the “Options” menu to cancel the account and create a new one. It will lead you to a new pop up page. Here, you will have to choose the “Accounts” button.
• 
  
• Right there on the screen, you will see the “Log out” option. Follow the instruction and log out from the account. Close the browser completely.
• Now open the browser again and go to the log-in page of Yahoo.
• Click the “Sign-up” button and fill in the all required fields with your name, country, date of birth (birth month, day, and year), postal code, and gender. Register the active mobile number.
