Some of my sent emails has been changed to read status and I don't recall clicking on them in the Sent folder. Is there a way to see when the last login was and the IP of the last login?

Could be a glitch, if nothing else is different Start by changing your password to at least 8 random characters at least one each upper case, special, and a number. If you are still concerned there should be a way to contact Yahoo and see what they can tell you.

You cannot check your last login details on Yahoo Mail. I think you can however contact Yahoo and see if you can get any help like MadAmos has suggested above.

One thing to beware of with sites like Yahoo are the "Security Questions". It's often MUCH easier to crack those questions than to guess somebody's password. That's how that kid got into Sarah Palin's Yahoo email account, by finding (I believe) the name of her high school.

I have had a rather strange error with Yahoo twice in the past. I happened to try and log in with my CORRECT login and password and got incorrect username/password errors repeatedly. Then after about an hour or so things became normal again and I was able to login without problems...blah! :confused:
