This is not from Yahoo, it’s a phishing scam to hack your account and steal your identity. Just mark it spam. Yahoo would never ask for your personal info in a email, they already have it. Everyone with a Yahoo account is getting these. It’s been going on for a long time.

this question is asked at least once an hour, its not from yahoo, its a long running phishing scam. Yahoo never asks for your password, birthdate or any other information by email, they have it from wwhen you signed up. And if you read the email, then your account isnt unused, is it? Yahoo only closes accounts if you dont logon for 6 months, if you read that email your account is active
