Your Email Account Will Soon Expire?

What do you do with e-mails from yahoo informing you that someone has connected to you?
With the new 'set up' that started about mid July 2010, the member intending to be your fan/sending the "want to connect" email, are unable to actually read your Q&A (if you had previously set them to private) UNTIL you accept THEIR request. Previously, that is, before mid July 2010, once they sent their "request to connect" email to you, they had access to your Q&A immediately. Unless you had previously had them blocked. This was announced in the Yahoo7 Answers Blog of 16 July 2010. I am sure it is there in your countries Answers Blog as well ! : http://www.yahoo7answersblog.com/b4/2010...

My yahoo email session expires before i can finish reading one email. how can i fix this?
If this is the message you are getting: "To protect your account, you need to confirm your password periodically. Some Yahoo! services, such as Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Address Book, require you to periodically enter your password even though you are already signed in. We do this to protect your personal information. You can adjust the length of time before password prompting--up to two weeks--by visiting Account Info and clicking on the Edit link for Member Information. (more) For your security, we will always prompt you for your password when accessing sensitive personal information, like Account Info." Just go into the Account info like they say and update your Member information to make the time-out a longer time. Good luck!
Yahoo email about to expire?
Nooo, not at all. This is India, not China.
Action Required: Your email is about to expire?
I have received this question recently from this email address: yahoo-alerts@web-yahoo-update-alerts.com with subject of "Action Required: Your email is about to expire" It says: Dear User, Action is required on your account because your email is about to expire. To avoid account termination, you are required to update your account with us now. Open the attachment to update your account with us. Thank You. Account Services Department. Can I trust to it?
They just want you to acknowledge that you have received the mail .Anything along the lines of “I have received the mail ” or “ I confirm that the e-mail has been received and read ” or “I have received the email . I will correspond/be in touch with you shortly , thank you ”will do fine .But only reply after you are sure that the sender is legit as User-10329187837260284376 points out .
This is almost certainly a scam - Although emails often look like they originate from brands you have signed up to, an unusual sender address, grammatical errors and a strong call to action subject line can be indicative of a phishing or spam attack. If something feels amiss, adopting a better to be safe than sorry approach and contacting the sender of the message through their official channels will help keep you secure.
Dear Yahoo! User, Access to e-mail is about to expire, We recommend that you update your account to avoid the suspension. Please open?
This sounds like a phishing email designed to collect your account information. If Yahoo sends you an email it will address you by your real name, never as Dear User, Dear Yahoo Account Holder, or Dear Yahoo Mail User. Yahoo sends emails from a @cc.yahoo-inc.com address only. Yahoo will never send you an email asking that you change, update, or verify your account information by clicking on a link in the email.

The SMTP standard (think of this as the way that mail servers talk to each other) has an explicit error code for User Not Found and this is the 550 error. A correctly configured mail server will send this response code to the sending server (your email address) and it will ususually have the subject of Undelivered: and your subject line.This is your way of knowing that the account is no longer accepting emails and to find an alternate way of communicating with the person.To echo some of the other statements:Yes Yahoo knows that you sent a messageYes Yahoo logs the messageYes the sender gets a notification
