I have plenty of email addresses that I can use for Neopets, however most of them are from Yahoo, simply because Google starts this 'verification' thing with making email addresses.  Since recently, none of my email addresses from Yahoo do not work on Neopets.  All of them fail.

 

Why is this?

Do you mean when registering for Neopets, you can't use Yahoo email addresses? Can you give us a desc. of the error message?

I just made neopet accounts with yahoo address...maybe it's because you have more than 5 accounts on that email address already?

[Seafire01]

I can use them for registering but afterwards it tells me that it bounced, also has told me that the address doesn't exist when I know that I didn't make a mistake on either side.

Did you fully complete the email set up for the yahoo address? Did you go into the email itself and check the yahoo welcome email? or at least delete it.

[Seafire01]

Yes and yes.

Have you tried emailing the offending accounts through a different email and seeing if they bounce back?

[Seafire01]

They all go through.  Guess I'm back to using my parents emails.

It does that with AOL as well (or at least my AOL accounts). For some reason people flagged neo emails as spam, and enough people did it that the AOL server people just stopped neo emails from going though, so now they all just bounce. (So as the neo emails are bouncing, it sounds like they're just not going though to your yahoo).

 

I had to use my gmail to finish registering and everything (for things like possible lost passwords and stuff).

On second thought, we have some old AOL accounts that worked, albeit spam folder.  Glad we switched to faster internet lol.

 

EDIT:  It worked.

Actually, yahoo email accounts are usually suspended after certain number of days of not logging in (not sure if it's 30 days or 60 days), then you have to log in to reactivate before you can use the email again. If not, they will just bounce back.
