my friend had their account deactivated( we do not know why they did not insut anyone or do anything against the terms of service)) but now they IS THIS LEGAL TO BAR THEM FRM THEIR WN PERSONAL STUFF?
Is it right for Yahoo to deactivate an account and NOT allow people time to remove personal email and document
Actually, YES, they can and it is legal. When you or your friend signed up for yahoo you were supposed to read and agree to their Terms Of Service. They are covered under #14 as shown below:
14. TERMINATION
You agree that Yahoo! may, under certain circumstances and without prior notice, immediately terminate your Yahoo! account, any associated email address, and access to the Service. Cause for such termination shall include, but not be limited to, (a) breaches or violations of the TOS or other incorporated agreements or guidelines, (b) requests by law enforcement or other government agencies, (c) a request by you (self-initiated account deletions), (d) discontinuance or material modification to the Service (or any part thereof), (e) unexpected technical or security issues or problems, (f) extended periods of inactivity, (g) engagement by you in fraudulent or illegal activities, and/or (h) nonpayment of any fees owed by you in connection with the Services. Termination of your Yahoo! account includes (a) removal of access to all offerings within the Service, including but not limited to Yahoo! Mail, Groups, Messenger, Chat, Domains, Personals, Auctions, Message Boards, Greetings, Alerts and Games, (b) deletion of your password and all related information, files and content associated with or inside your account (or any part thereof), and (c) barring of further use of the Service. Further, you agree that all terminations for cause shall be made in Yahoo!'s sole discretion and that Yahoo! shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your account, any associated email address, or access to the Service.
Good luck, if you want to read the entire TOS you can go here:

Reply:Yes, by virtue of the fact that Yahoo is just lending you the space to store your emails and other stuff, they can do as they like. It's not like you pay for it.
