Answer 1

There are two ways you can leave a group:

You can either send an e-mail to *[e-mail] (Change the * to the name of the group, as it appears in the URL. For example, to leave the group pinballzone, the e-mail address you'd use is pinballzone-unsubscribe @yahoogroups.com.)

Or, you can follow these steps, (which echinopsis said would work faster):

1. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com

2. Click on the name of the group you want to leave.

3. Right below the left side of the ad at the top of the page, click "Edit Membership".

4. Scroll to the bottom of the page, & click "Leave Group".

5. Confirm that you really want to leave.

Answer 2

Unsubscribe emails sometimes take forever to get you out of a group. This will work faster: sign into the group, click "edit membership" at the top of page. Click "leave group" at the bottom right. Confirm on the next page. That should lead to instant unsubscription. It might take another day or so to also get no more messages from the group.
