But I still see no way to rename an account. I don't even see way to delete an account. I was going to try deleting and see if I could recreate the associated disposable email address root on a different secondary account.

AFAIK, that is not possible. Once the base part of an AddressGuard address is deleted, it can't be re-used. Per the instructions and warnings (I blew one away by accident).

When logged into the particular secondary account, I see no way to rename the account.

Logged into the main email account, I can go to "manage sub accounts". There I can edit or disable a sub account. Disable makes a email to an associated disposable address bounce.

I can create an email alias for the sub account, but I feel confident that the original email address would still be valid.

Thanks for the suggestion. I would like to think I have just missed
clicking the right thing, but I don't think so. I think this needs
higher level action if it is achievable at all.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Yahoo-Email-Support-27950012 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 17:29:30 EDT Re: Yahoo Email Support http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Yahoo-Email-Support-27949803 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Yahoo-Email-Support-27949803 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:51:52 EDT Yahoo Email Support http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Yahoo-Email-Support-27949310 What I would like to do is to change the secondary email account address but still keep my "disposable" addresses. Who would I contact at Yahoo or ATT about this?

I don't care if this would be accomplished by renaming the secondary account, or attaching the existing temporary addresses to a different secondary account.

I really like the disposable addresses. I have only had to dispose of one due to one spam, and that was quite a surprise to get a fake Rolex watch spam to an address I had only only used with a reputable company. Unfortunately when I started using the temporary addresses I attached them to an account that I had originally used for regular email. It was no problem for 6 years. Then a friend's web mail got hacked. Everybody in his web address book started getting spam. Now I know that spam is the norm for most, but I had been spam free without filtering for quite a while.

I am pleased with the performance of POP servers from Yahoo over the last few years.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Yahoo-Email-Support-27949310 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 11:52:52 EDT
