text: i want to change my (yahoo) user id or email address. please help.?   you need not create a new account.   you can not change an id, but you can surely get an alias for the same account, so if you don't like the present id that you have, go for an alias.   getting alias would not change anything for the acocunt, you will still get mails in the same account.  you can ask people to send you mails on the new id that you got, but if someone sends it on the old, that is not a problem either.   and now yahoo even allows dots in its ids, so you can probably get sometihng like first.last@yahoo.com  http://edit.yahoo.com/config/list_alias?.src=ym  hope this helps!
