I hardly use my yahoo account. My hotmail was once hacked, but I got it back. I have read instructions for hacking hotmail that involve requesting a new password, but I've never tried it..! I assume the yahoo problem is similar. I'm sure there must be a lot of material about this on the web. If I were you I would close it down. On a related note, they finally upped the size of my hotmail account - it's now 250 MB. Did anyone else have this happen?
