Can I sign up for just a Yahoo I.D. with or without getting a Yahoo address?

Question

In my group people have just Yahoo I.D.'s. Some have never even had a Yahoo address.

I do not want to hide my email address from group by adding another profile to my existing email address. I'd like to get a separate Yahoo I.D. and get a new email address or use another email address with the I.D. I know it's been done because people on my group have Yahoo I.D.'s but don't have Yahoo email addresses. I'd like to have a Yahoo I.D. and a separate Yahoo email address. Wouldn't have even cared that much if they hadn't changed it to where your whole email address is your Yahoo I.D.

My objective is not to hide my address from the group, reason asking is I had to cancel my last Yahoo address and it cancelled everything. That's when someone told me she had a Yahoo I.D. and has never had a Yahoo address. All I want now is a Yahoo I.D. separate from any Yahoo email address. I know it's been done, just wonder if anyone knows how to do it? Don't know how else to explain this.

Answer 1

I realize that most of your members have non-yahoo addresses. You don't need a yahoo ID to join the group and get emails from the group. However, they had to set up a Yahoo ID to get full web access to the website. Your people may not know it but when they set up the ID they got an email address too.  If your ID is JohnDoe, then your email address is [e-mail]
