Help! Find my secret answer!

[Ven0m]

Yeah, Nessa's right. I've had accounts too not logged into mail for 3 months (which is the cutoff period) and I've had to react Mail, losing all e-mails in my inbox.

I see your profile is still intact, but honestly, even if you did recover the password somehow, I don't think any e-mails would be there.

And I don't think you'll find the answers you're wanting to hear, so sorry about that.

Well I still need my account. My ps3 stuff still gets sent there and I cant edit my ps3 account. ALso other stuff still gets sent there.

ANd I can still see my profile in tact. I have everything the way I left it.

Check out my profile.

tommy4_u

search it and youll see when it was created and my info still in tact. And I dont check my hot mail for months and I still have my emails there.

So If anyone can help me guess my answer

Oh and if my emails or anyone's emails are deleted then why would yahoo be so concerned about keeping someone's privacy. They would have let me have my account 2 years ago and I would not have been here.

The question is Hello?

Well for one, hotmail and yahoo e-mails are separate and different. Second, I never said it affects your profile because even I can still log into messenger with those names and my profile is intact - it's only the e-mail portion that gets deactivated. Thirdly, Yahoo! still concerned because they can't just give away your e-mail so quick because you could easily be pretending to be someone else and receiving their e-mails.

Let me give you an example: Say you want to read all my e-mails or from an account I don't use anymore so you go around making up this story about how you can't remember your answer. If you know me - you know all the basic information like date of birth, zip code, and all the other good stuff Yahoo! asks for, of course minus the secret answer. (Especially since Yahoo! has never had automated answers and "Hello?" appears to be a self-made question - so you could easily just be hoping someone gives you a logical answer.) Basically this scenerio can be you - something Yahoo! has probably seen thousands of times. (Even if you didn't care about reading the e-mails - you can still use the e-mail for other stuff.)

Yahoo! has to watch it's back too and it's not their fault you can't remember the secret answer.

Now, I'm not saying you don't have a legitimate problem and I do hope you find what you are looking for, but I don't expect you to find any old e-mails in it. You can of course reactivate it and start receiving those so called e-mails from game sites and possibly ex-friends. So best of luck and maybe someone can give you that list of answers you are looking for but I just had to point out my point about the e-mails.....

Not raining on any parades.

PS: PS3 has not been out for 2 years yet so I find that excuse hard to believe. It came out November of 06' and since you haven't logged in for two years..... You get my point.

[nerdvader]

I c your point.

Yahoo! is changing how they secure users accounts

They now recommend 2 security questions

They are denying usage of the one e-mail account been used to verify different accounts

If you got caught up in this change then i doubt you will be able to retrieve your old mail, sorry.
