Yahoo! AddressGuard
Have you ever typed in a completely bogus email address when filling out a form? It's not a bad strategy, but you'll never hear back from whomever you gave the bogus address to…and every once in a while, you actually might want to. This is where Yahoo! AddressGuard from Yahoo! Mail Plus comes in handy.

Create disposable email addresses to use whenever you don't want to give out your real Yahoo! Mail address (like for an online purchase). Messages sent to your disposable email addresses arrive in your Inbox, where you can decide what to do with them. You can also set up a filter to direct them to other folders.

If any of your disposable email addresses starts getting spam, you can simply delete the address and messages sent there start bouncing instead of filling up your account.

No promotional taglines in messages
Whether you choose to send your email through Yahoo! Mail or through a POP3 client, with Yahoo! Mail Plus all of your sent messages are free from ad taglines.

No graphical ads
When you're in Yahoo! Mail Plus, your experience is free of banner-ad distractions.

No account expiration
By subscribing to Yahoo! Mail Plus, your account won't go dormant—even if you don't use it for a long period of time.
