Yahoo of all companies should know what type of users still retain their emails and what type has moved on.
I had setup my mom's email on Yahoo (cause Gmail didn't exist and Hotmail, freshly bought by MS, was rubbish). She had a habit of entering it to everything and was soon unusable. We went over online browsing and safety, but not before her private info ended up on a dozen or so spammy sites. That was more than 10 years ago.
There's no way to reset the password for that thing, since backup emails weren't present plus IT WAS MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO! Also, she doesn't have a Facebook page, doesn't want a Facebook page and will likely never get one in the future. She's done handing out her info to people she doesn't know.
I'm sure some of her info is still on it, but if Yahoo goes through with this, there will be hell to pay.
