RE: How to secure my yahoo account

How can you know if your yahoo account password has been cracked in
case 
   <snip>
could give you the passwd.

Unless the provider has an option available to monitor this type of
activity (which I SERIOUSLY doubt they do), your best AND ONLY bet is to
change your password often.

Why not just setup your own mail server?  You can then monitor any
nefarious activity to/from your account at your own will.
