Anyone else is getting yahoo account termination notices?
100% scam. That is a scammer trying to hi-jack your email address to spam all your contacts and then use the account to spam hundreds/thousands of others. Yahoo and all email companies, all banks and all companies in the entire world will NEVER ask for your password, pin or date of birth. No Exceptions Ever. Ignore and delete that email and any others demanding such information. If you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of needing your password, great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram. Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash. Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money, email address or identity to a scammer. If you google "yahoo email phishing scam", "email hijacked viagara porn spammer" or something similar you will find hundreds of posts of victims and near victims of this type of scam. In fact, if you check out the section here at Yahoo Answers entitled "Yahoo email, spam and bulk mail" you will find hundreds of questions from victims who have had their email address hi-jacked or spoofed by scammers sending out porn and viagra spam.
I got a mail in my Yahoo account, saying your account has exceeded the storage limit, click to verify, is it scam?
I am not a Yahoo user, but I assume you’re referring to this:Yahoo cuts 'unlimited' email storage to 1 terabyte (1000GB)That’s an awful lot of storage unless your emails are heavy with photo/spreadsheet/document attachments. Apparently, as part of this change, the “storage meter” (telling you how much you were currently using) disappeared from Yahoo accounts.So here’s how to determine if you’re REALLY near/over your limit:Identify the percentage of Yahoo storage you’re usingYou are wise to be skeptical of emails (and follow your hunches), but since Yahoo’s business is based (partly) on providing online email services, it is much more likely that they would use legitimate email messages to communicate with their customers.Try the test above; if you are indeed near your limit, do what I do and spend 30 minutes or so dumping all the junk you’ve been accumulating without realizing it (if you dump something accidentally, Gmail lets you retrieve it for a period of time . . . don’t know about Yahoo). When I do that, Gmail flashes a message that says, “Why delete when you have so much storage?” - which I’ve always thought was a little strange . . .

How do I know if my Yahoo! email has been read by the recipient? I've already sent it without doing anything special; is it too late now? I've heard that Windows Outlook could do something like that. If so, how?
It is never too late to find out if your Yahoo! email has been read by the recipient. Send the recipient a second message, and ask if they received your first message, for example.Standard internet e-mail does not contain mandatory read receipts, so tracking if a message has been read relies on side-effects of reading the message. Sometimes, such side-effects are provided by the mail client software explicitly (e.g. Outlook allows viewers of messages to return a read-receipt, if the senders of the e-mail requested one), and other times such side-effects are provided implicitly (e.g. an HTML-format message being parsed that includes resources such as a CSS or image or JavaScript routine from another machine).You have already sent the e-mail message; if you retained a copy of this message, it can be analyzed to see if it contained any trackable elements, and then logs of the system which serves those elements may contain information allowing the deduction that a message has been read.Alternatively, if you have a legally compelling reason, then a suitable legal document (e.g. subpoena) may be served against Yahoo!, whereby their own logs indicating that the mailbox they host can be acquired to determine when the message you sent was fetched by any mail client. Note that this does not indicate that the messages was opened or read. However, depending again on the mail client software your recipient users, there may be logs that can be viewable that you can access (e.g. if the mail client is web-based, then the web server may have logged the request to view a particular mail message).
