How do I disable or delete old, outdated yahoo mail accounts?

[daubenque]

I have so many old Yahoo accounts that don't get used any more or are dummy accounts for testing or quality control uses and I would like to delete them. Does any one know how or if that can be done and if so how?

You have two different ways in which you can close out your account. The first way is not to use it for 4 months and Yahoo! will deactivate it due to inactivity. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/account/account-04.htmlThe second way you need to read the "Account Deletion" page thoroughly. When you delete an account you are deleting your complete ID. So that means you are losing Yahoo! ID, Mail address, and Profile names. We will also delete your account data and settings across the Yahoo! network. This includes the contents of your HotJobs, Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Address Book, Yahoo! Small Business, Yahoo! GeoCities, Yahoo! Briefcase, My Yahoo! and more. Account deletion will also terminate any paid services that you own with this yahoo id. You may not be able to recover payments remitted for these services or the data associated with these accounts.http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/edit/changing_users/edit-23.htmlIf you would still like to terminate your account you will need to enter your password confirm your identity. You will then be asked to enter the code. Click the "Yes Terminate This Account".https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_userFYI--After the account is deleted you will not be able to use the ID you have closed.You will have to do these one at a time. There is no way possible to delete them all at once.

If you don't use it for like 6 months I think it automatically gets temporarily disabled, since it is idled for a long time...?
