So, I've been having some fun, since my Yahoo ID goes back to 2005, and inactive accounts have been purged. Originally, I signed up for a Yahoo account but I linked my hotmail up to receive messages. So I had the hotmail account, but not the Yahoo ID.
A helpful tool
What I had to do was set up a new Yahoo account, link that same ID, and then run this tool to make it all sync up:

And it let me back to the old mailing lists I was subbed to 15 years ago.
