    8) At the bottom of the page, you MUST check the box that asks if you agree the terms for using the account.  Click “create my account” once you are finished.  If any message appears in red print there is something you forgot to fill out.  Look it over and enter in any missing information. 

    9) Congratulations on opening your account! Click on “Mail” to enter your account. Type in your user ID (your Email Address Without the @yahoo.com) and password.
