Just be careful about "deleting" your Yahoo account.
> Register a previously used ID
> A deleted Yahoo account ID may become available for future use, and you’re welcome to try to register it. However, Yahoo can't specify how long until a deleted ID may become available, and we can't guarantee that it will become available.

And make sure it doesn't get removed for inactivity:
> If you rarely use your account, it will go into an inactive state and then be deleted. You can prevent this by signing in to your account using any device at least once every 12 months.
- icantdrive55 10y agoI wondered why my old Yahoo accounts wouldn't let me in. I didn't sign in once a year. To be honest, I don't think that's a good policy. A few months ago, I was going to give Yahoo a second chance. I was told "my name, or password was wrong." I spend five minutes finding my info, and in that fife minutes; figured it just wasen't worth it. Anyways--goodby Yahoo. One day, Google and FB will be right there on the long slide to the bottom.
