Deceased email

I am conflicted between a fathers grief and a son's right of privacy and the knowledge of the bombs that can be found in "memorabilia".

The son was a Marine going to a combat area. If he wanted to be sure his folks had access to his email if something happened he should have left the account and password in a sealed envelope in his storage boxes. If he didn't want them to access it for whatever reason, the Yahoo policy is exactly right. The court system for that sort of judgement is not that hard or time consuming. Yahoo should not delete the account if the case is pending.
