My email account was deleted this afternoon...why???

Hey there,
That's a drag, losing your e-mail account... You did the right thing changing your password, but sometimes that's not enough. Sometimes it takes a while for everything to sync up. You could try logging in again after a few hours.
Good luck!

Hi,

Please access the Yahoo Sign-in Helper to check your account status. Enter your email address, click "Continue", then if you're invited to recover your account, follow the instructions to get your account back.

If you see that your email address isn't recognized, Yahoo may have deactivated it. For confirmation, using another email account, send a message to your Yahoo email address and wait a few minutes for a delivery failure notice. If it confirms that the account is deactivated, contact Yahoo to help you troubleshoot the issue.

Good luck.
