To avoid getting unwanted business solicitations sent
via Yahoo to your regular email, go to http://my.yahoo.com,
sign in if necessary (click the sign in link and and
enter your username and password,) and click on Account
Info in the upper left corner. You will need to enter
your password again. Look at your profile- immediately
under your email address you will see “Edit your
marketing preferences.” Click on that and set everything
to ‘No.’ Save Changes (the button at the bottom). Once
that’s done, carry on – a very useful service but worth
taking that precaution! 🙂
