How do I create another email address for another member of family?
There is another way of doing it, and this is something that you can use yourself. Try using disposable email addresses. If you are using Yahoo Mail Beta, click on "Options", top right above the email window and then click on "Mail Options". In the next window that comes up click on "Spam" - on the LH side - and this will take you to the Spam window. At the bottom of that you will see "Disposable Addresses", click on that and it will tell you how to use them.





You can assign any of these addresses (that you make up yourself) to other members of your family and you can also do what I do:





I only give my prime email address to family and close friends, to everybody else I give a disposable address. I use one address only per individual/company that I might deal with on emails or on the net. That way if I start getting spam coming into one of my disposables I can track back as to whom I gave that address to and then I can simply go in and delete it - hey presto, no more spam from that source. You can also set it up so that all incoming emails, no matter which of your disposables they are addressed to, can come into your inbox. You can also arrange to send emails from your disposables as well as just receive!





Yes, it does mean keeping some sort of a record as to whom you have given which address to but that is often preferable to wading through reams of spam and then having to decide what to do with it all!





If a lot of people/businesses have your prime email address right now it might be an idea to close your account and open up another from scratch thus you will have absolute control over who gets what in the way of your email addresses. If you don't get a lot of spam, or you haven't given your address out to many people then what I have suggested might not be worth your while following up on but, at least, it's a thought and a great way to stay in control!





Hope that helps.
