I have several accounts (two business and one personal) and I would like to be able to toggle between them, but when I sign into a second one, the first one disconnects.

That's the flaw with a web mail program like Yahoo. Since it's a web page, you can only be signed into one at a time. Consider making one of those accounts an ALTERNATE Yahoo account - that way they will be tied together, all Mail in the same box, but you can choose which identity you wish to have as the 'From:' address. You might also investigate using Thunderbird for the Firefox browser, which allows several accounts at once (I can't remember if it allows several at one domain)
* When you add another name to the present account you will not lose anything - contacts, address list. Send an email to all your contacts with the new email address. If someone sends it to the old e-mail address, it will go to the same Inbox so you don't lose any messages. You do not need to inform anyone of the new address - there is a drop-down menu in From: where you can choose which address to use for sending from either account.
* Click the link below to get an extra email address for your existing account. Use it just as you would for your primary address (which of course you can still use). You can send and receive email from either address from the same Inbox.

* To notify your contacts of the email change, click on Options > Mail Options > Accounts (left side), then click on Add or Edit. Go back and click on Mail again. Under Management, scroll down and click on Announce E-mail Address, compose a message, AND add your Contact List in the header (BCC). Click on Preview and Send.
* If you want to make your secondary email address as your primary address, you can click on Options > Mail Options > Account Information > Password again. Once in your account you will see E-mail Information. Click to designate which one you want as your primary, then click SAVE.
