I've sent the requisite information to the relevant yahoo admin section but have zero confidence in them acting on it in any timely fashion, or even acting on it all. Luckily the few important emails from it and my entire DCLUG folder are locally archived so I have to simply draw a line under it at this point, detach it from my Thunderbird instances and call it a day.
