I have a good idea as to who sent the email impersonating me with my own email account. I thought It was illegal am I wrong?? can I do anything about this or Is there a way to conferm what computer this email came from? by the way I already changed my password but the damage is still done. can anyone help?

Generally, it is "against the law" to do something like this. The problem is, you're not going to be able to set a court date for an issue as small as this one. Most of the power you will have will be regarding Yahoo's server policies. If they clearly outline in their acceptable use policy that the usage of someone else's username and password can result in loss of account, you should report this issue. Otherwise, you're at a dead end. Yahoo will certainly not take the time to look back on logs to see when such an e-mail was sent unless they received something more compelling (a court subpoena), which you would never end up with. Your best bet is to review their account usage policy and try to fix the damage done. Don't trust people with your passwords unless you can TRUST them! If they help you set up a password change it as soon as they leave if you really do need the computer help. If someone doing your computer work is insisting on knowing your passwords or typing them in for you, you have a problem. I do a lot of house-calls for computer tech support and I ALWAYS INSIST that the user type in their own password, unless they give it to me willfully. I will physically get up from the computer and say please choose a password, instruct them how to choose one, and turn my head as they type it in.
Reply:It is identity theft. It is illegal and each computer has it's own code, the emails will show what computer it came from.

Punishable by death.
