I'm really not sure. I think you need to transfer or link your account. You
may need to contact Yahoo about this. I'm not certain.
In addition to the spamming, they are also automatically setting people up
to be tracked online. You can opt out at

I really wish they had told people about this prior to the changes or at
least when they made the changes.
