How do I stop getting updates on the What's New tab of Yahoo! Mail?

I keep getting updates from a person whom I've deleted and blocked in my account because he was just about to the point of e-stalking me. I still get updates from him and I can't figure out how to get rid of them. Can anyone help?

    If that person didn't disconnect their updates and Connections, then it will show under the sent email to them. I have mine inactive so they don't show on theirs. You can stop yours from showing, If you don't want anything shared about you then go to My Profile, click Edit my Info, scroll to Updates, click the arrow in the box, then click Don't share my updates. Click Preview at the bottom then click Ok. Go back to Edit my Info and scroll back to Updates, now click Manage who sees your updates. Click the arrow in the box, then click No one. Click Save. This should stop it.

    Also if you seen Connections on the mail screen, click Options, then click Mail Options. Under General, uncheck the box next to Connections, click Save Changes. If you leave this set up this way for awhile, they will go away and you can then change your settings if you like.
