I'm I allowed to have two yahoo email addresses?
I was thinking of changing my Yahoo email address. My current Yahoo address contains my name, so for privacy sake i thought I would change my email to something else if what I had in mind was available. Would I have to keep tabs on both emails for a while until the change is permanent? Or will this email I'm using now always be active.

First off, you shouldn't be using your name for any email addresses for security purposes unless its for work. You would just need to keep tabs on the new email address you want to use because after 6 months or so, the tech support at Yahoo will delete the unused email address or you can go to your current email and cancel the account.

You can have as many yahoo email addresses as you want. I have two, one for messing around on the net and giving email addresses to contests etc. and the other for only business. Just go to the Yahoo main page and click the link for yahoo mail. Then click the one for create an email account.

I have two yahoo email addresses, one for business and one for friends. They will both be active as long as you keep logging into them. However, you can link the two address together so that mail from both accounts comes to just one. Hope this is helpful.

If you don't check it for 90 days it will go unactive and you won't be able to log in to it. I currently have 4 email addresses for different uses. I just have to check them every so often to keep them open.

As long as you keep checking the old e-mail it will stay active. I have several Yahoo e-mail addresses that i use for different purposes, it shouldn't be a problem!

You can open more than one email. I have two myself. Keep one for personal use, with close friends or family, and the other for business and other uses.

it should always be open but it is best to check now and then incase any contacts don't no about your new email so you can see if they are still emailing you
