If there are emails in your inbox that are not addressed to you, there are some things you can do. Once you identify the senders, deal with them depending on who they are.
Before acting, determine who is sending you these emails. This may not be as simple as marking the "From" field. Spammers and malicious programs may try to hide or falsify your identity. Check the full header of the email message.
If your address is not in the "To" or "CC" fields, you can be a recipient of "BCC" (hidden copy). Senders use the BCC field to hide the addresses of non-BCC recipients, often for privacy reasons.
Yahoo email addresses are unique: emails in your inbox are never for another person with the same address. When users create new Yahoo accounts, their IDs are verified in our worldwide database and rejected if they already exist.
