Deleting Disposable Addresses
By default, SpamGuard protects your disposable addresses by sending any messages recognized as spam to your Spam folder. If some spam still makes it to your Inbox or other destination folder, you can do two things:
Report the messages as spam by selecting it and clicking the Spam button. This trains your SpamGuard filter to recognize such messages and send them to the Spam folder.
Delete the disposable address if you do not expect any more valid email to be sent to the address that receives spam.
Tip: Deleting a disposable address only prevents you from receiving more mail. It doesn’t remove any messages that you already received at that address.
Here’s How
Go to the Disposable Email Addresses page in Yahoo! Mail. (Remind me how.)
Select the disposable address that you want to delete, then click the trash icon.
When prompted, click OK to confirm that you really want to delete the address.
The selected address disappears from your list.
What’s Next
Once you delete a disposable address, Yahoo! Mail Plus returns to the sender all future messages sent to that address.
