To prevent identity theft, Yahoo may not allow recovery emails to be sent to recycled email addresses. Your old Yahoo account may have been closed due to inactivity, and later that same username became available again for you or any new user to claim as their own. If you’re trying to regain access to a social media account using your Yahoo account, but aren’t receiving the recovery email, you may be using a recycled Yahoo email address.
Suggest they contact their email provider for further assistance.
