How do I delete a base name?

Your Rogers Yahoo! AddressGuard base name is designed to be a permanent alias to be used as the basis for creating multiple disposable email addresses. While you can delete and create new disposable addresses at any time, you should only change your base name in exceptional situations (e.g., it's too difficult to remember).

Rogers Yahoo! Mail allows you to delete your base name twice. So make sure the new base name you choose meets your needs!

Here's how to delete a base name:

1. Click Options in the upper-right corner of you Mail page and select Mail Options.
2. Under "Spam", click AddressGuard.
3. Toward the bottom of the page, click Set up a disposable address.
4. You’ll see your base name under “Base Name”. Beside it, click Delete.
5. A page opens asking you if you're sure you want to do this. If you are, click Delete Base Name and Addresses.

Note: When you delete your base name:

• All your disposable email addresses are deleted.
• Any emails addressed to your previous disposable email addresses bounce back to the sender(s).
• Messages previously received or sent with these disposable addresses are not deleted.
• You won't be able to use the same base name again.
