Thread: Worried about email account

I have yahoo mail account for the past few years but rarely use it now. I use it every four to six months. The Problem is that my Yahoo! account is full of unwanted mails. I also report some of the addresses and mails to the spam filter but even then, the new mails of lottery and others offers continue coming. I have a questions regarding this.
1. Like we change the password in an account, why can we not change the user ID of an email account?
2. Please tell me the best and safe email service provider
3. Is there any web site or government body where I can report such cases?

Users accounts are made to identify different individuals. Almost no email provider gives you the option to change the username or email address. With the pace at which accounts are made, it's difficult as it is to get new user ids and changing them would mean wasting ones created already. There is no clear best email provider. Gmail is by far the most popular mail provider there is. It's free and yet they provide a huge capacity mailbox. Users are also given free POP3 and IMAP connectivity. Gmail has a pretty good spam filter as well. Many other mail providers have spam filters that work equally well these days. Spam is a common problem all over the world and across all countries. If you feel you are being targeted and being spammmed on purpose, then you can visit the Mumbai Cybercrime department's site You can find some information there.
