Default Yahoo mail

I sure wish I knew where to post things, so forgive me
please.
I don't want to have a yahoo email address. I use
internet explorer and have yahoo as my home page on IE,
but I only use AOL for my mail. My yahoo mail just keeps
building up and it is only spam mail. Is there anyway to
just get rid of the address completely rather than trying
to block everything?
Thanks.

Hi,

You should be able to contact Yahoo and have them shut it down. Or just
leave the mail on the server and don't worry about it. Never check it
again. Sooner or later, the mailbox will fill up and I assume they will
terminate the account after a period of inactivity. I have abandoned
several Yahoo, Hotmail and Mail.com accounts over time.

If you have Outlook Express or similar setup to check the mail, delete
the Yahoo account and it will never check it again.

Open your Yahoo mail account. Somewhere in the options.
I think under edit profile in personal settings is an
option to close the account.
