After what period yahoo allows to reuse deactivated id?
There is no standard time limit on when a deactivated Yahoo ID may be recycled and available to use again and no guarantee that this will happen. For $1.99 you can sign up for the Watchlist. This allows you to "watch" up to five usernames for three years. If one of the names becomes available, you will be alerted by email and will have a chance to register for a new Yahoo account using that ID. For more information: https://watchlist.yahoo.com/
Your Yahoo! account has been inactive for an extended period of time and is being recycled.?
If you get email messages saying that, they are probably fake.
Will you leave yahoo because yahoo give inactive username to new user?
We cannot leave yahoo mail.Yahoo plans to recycle inactive user IDs and it is pretty obvious there is a security loophole.Even though Yahoo issued a statement saying there are great measures to prevent these issues by alerting Google, Amazon,etc., sending bounce back mails for a month and unsubscribing from newsletters, there is still a pretty realistic threat.So what choice do users have except to reactivate the account.In my case, I stopped using yahoo as primary account years back and now use it just as a secondary backup account for password resets. It is just a huge risk to leave and deactivate your id as all other services can be compromised from here. Do you remember where all you used this id for?Conclusion : I didn't have a choice but to reactivate my account even though I hate Yahoo's decision.

However, if you want to try this you MUST:remember your passwordremember your login email: if you have been deactivated too long Instagram may notify you via emaillogin through app: I tried to login through the website and it didnt work. Login through app.
How do Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo close inactive user accounts and allow a new user to register them?
Google does not recycle Gmail usernames: We do not make unused accounts accessible for reuse.Why? To do so opens an attack vector against the previous owner of the email address. The Internet assumes email addresses are unique identifiers. With a recycled address you could, among other things, reset the password on any accounts owned by that email address.Yahoo, conversely, recently announced a plan to recycle email addresses that have gone unused for twelve months:http://yahoo.tumblr.com/post/528...
My account has been deactivated due to inactivity,?
thats what it says when I try to log in: Your Yahoo account has been inactive for an extended period of time and is being recycled. If you need a new account, please sign up for a new one." Yet, i want to create a new one with the same username, but it says the username is unavailable. Why is that not possible, and will i ever be able to, since on that email address i am supposed to receive and important email.
How do you recreate disabled or discontinued account?
Okay here is one possible reason why you can't use that particular ID. ID's are recycled in Yahoo, say you used that particular ID a few years back and it became deactivated, 90 days goes by and it is up for grabs. But some other random dude thought that ID would be cool so he picked it up. Now someone else is using it. But then they lose the account and 90 days has to go by again before it can be picked up by someone else. And this can repeat over and over. What you have to do if you want it back that bad is to just keep trying and waiting, and if you are lucky you will be able to pick it up when it is next available for use. Just hope that no one else gets it before you do. E-Mailing the ID from time to time while you wait may help as well. Just to make sure that you aren't waiting for nothing and the account wasn't picked up by some other random person.
Why won't AOL allow users to register previously registered but unused screen names after a period of inactivity?
Technical reasons, I'm sure.At one point, users were in fact able to re-register long-unused names, after about 12-18 months. (There was no set time limit; it was whenever we purged the database manually.)But as anyone who's run a large relational database will tell you, Deleting Is Hard, and AOL doesn't have just one database - it has hundreds or thousands of heterogeneous data stores. Because of the integrations between classic AOL (via the AOL client), AOL's web properties, and AIM, the screen name is often the foreign key in these relations. If AOL allowed you to reuse screen names, some undiscovered architectural flaw might allow you to reclaim old data from the previous user, and that would be a privacy nightmare.It's safer and easier to let old accounts linger in perpetuity, and I assume that's why they no longer purge old names.
I wanna create a new gmail accnt-says my desired username mayzechat@gmail already exists but it doesnt..WHY?
to double check if i'm correct about the username not currently being used by anyone else, i tried sending an email to mayzechat@gmail.com from 3 different emails and each email account i sent it from got a return reply from Mailer Demon saying the email (mayzechat@gmail.com) does NOT exist... so WHY is gmail telling me that username is already in use and to pick another one such as mayzechat3301 or whatever... ???
