I would put the odds of Yahoo giving you the information of IP addresses used to login to your account to pretty much a billion to one, unless there is some legal reason why. The legal reason would probably have to be really good, like proving that you didn't send illegal material from that account. Just "wanting to know" will probably not get you anywhere. Of course Yahoo stores the information about who accesses their services (server logs, etc), but just because it is there doesn't mean that they have to give it to you. Check out http://privacy.yahoo.com/. If you think that person has been sending out email from your accounts, try and check the contents of replies to that account. Otherwise, just change your password.

Obviously if I changed my password, then I'd ruin the chance of the person logging in again, so NO I haven't change my password. I did ask though if someone knew if Yahoo! kept track of the logins, not emails. Thanks anyway. --- H C <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm suspecting someone has my password to my > Yahoo! > account. > > What makes you say that? > > > Does anyone know if Yahoo! keeps track of IP > addresses > that log into accounts and if yes, for how long? > > To be honest, I have no idea.
