Yes it seems that you are correct. Just because it was used in yahoo.com.ph
it won't accept it in yahoo.com anymore. It's just that I would have
preferred to use the original login name that I used rather than changing it
again.

As for your comment regarding POP3, I'm able to access my mail from Outlook
thru a program called YPOPS and it's for free.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Thanks.

Yahoo! is very integrated, internationally. I can't use the same log in
name for 'yahoo.com.au', or 'yahoo.co.uk', or 'yahoo.co.jp' as I have
already use for 'yahoo.com'. I have tried it. I get the same warning,
that the user name is already in use.

I also believe that Yahoo! user names are not recyclable. I have tried
opening a 'yahoo.co.jp' account with a user name that I had
inadvertently deleted (my comprehension of Japanese is not all that
great, and I selected the wrong options).

Nearly as I can tell, you will not be able to get your user name in
'yahoo.com' if it already exists in 'yahoo.co.ph'; even if you delete
it. All that you can do is sign up for a new user name in 'yahoo.com'.

Finally, if you intend to use SMTP/POP3 access with 'yahoo.com', it will
cost you $19.99US for a Yahoo! Mail Plus account. Unlike the others (I
now have a Yahoo! Australia and a Yahoo! Japan account), which allow
SMTP/POP3 access for a subscription to Yahoo! Delivers, a 'yahoo.com'
account does not allow free SMTP/POP3 access.

There is no way that I know of to change the Yahoo! domain of an accout.
