Account privacy and security is an important concern of Yahoo!. One of the ways we protect accounts from unauthorized access is by denying account assistance to individuals who contact us but are unable to match the information that was entered during the registration process.

We apologize for any inconvenience this causes, but we adhere to these guidelines in order to protect the privacy and security of all our user’s accounts. If you are unable to provide this information, you do have the option of opening a new account.

Sigh. I am tired of this nonsense.

I feel bad about losing seven years’ worth of emails: work-related stuff, senti letters, things that are of meaning to me… I wouldn’t be saving them if I found them to be of no importance, right? However, I already have so much on my hands right now that I can no longer afford to dwell on ill feelings that this mishap is causing me.

I have more essential things to think of and focus on.  I do not need all this negative energy.

My final reply?

THIS IS TERRIBLE!

All your talk about being able to "protect the privacy and security of all our user’s accounts." IS PLAIN BOGUS!!! If an account can so easily be hacked and changed by God-knows-who, IT IS NOT AT ALL SECURE.

"If you are unable to provide this information, you do have the option of opening a new account."

After finally realizing what lousy service you have? NO GODDAMN WAY!
