Yahoo is allowing people to place claims on inactive email addresses that are being given a second life.<\/p>\n

The opportunity to request the identifications began Monday afternoon and will extend through Aug. 7. Up to five different names can be submitted at wishlist.yahoo.com .<\/p>\n

Yahoo Inc. says a substantial number of old email IDs are being made available, but isn’t providing specifics.<\/p>\n

The email IDs are being released a month after the Sunnyvale, California, company notified users that they would have 30 days to log into an inactive account if they wanted to keep it.<\/p>\n

People awarded the rights to the recycled email addresses will have a 48-hour period to activate the accounts beginning Aug. 15.<\/p>\n
