Hotmail
A free Hotmail account becomes inactive if you do not sign in for 30 days, or within the first 10 days after signing up for an account. Once an account becomes inactive, all messages, folders, and contacts are deleted, but the account name is still reserved. If the account stays inactive for a further 90 days, it is permanently deleted.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible to do it using the native Gmail client. You could achieve this using a third party client like Adium (on Mac) or Pidgin (on Mac or Windows).
There is also this tutorial that explains how to import your contacts via PSI messenger, but I find it rather cumbersome.

I think I've found a solution - Yahoo! changed the turn off option from search box (question mark). You must go to the bottom of left menu (folders, etc.) and click settings icon of Applications and then find the Shortcut app and remove it.

If you give your account's password to another person that means all your accounts information is visible to him and accessible by him.

There doesn't seem to be a way to do the equivalent on Yahoo, but there is a way to make it so you don't get mail to your Yahoo Email address.
This is what I did:
Create the Yahoo Account using one of their domains (e.g. @yahoo.com).
During the account creation, set your Alternate Email account to your real email address. (Alternatively, go to your ...

One obvious thing comes into my mind: the signature images are linked and not attached, so they need to be present on a public URL. They could of course let you upload and host it somewhere, but it's understandable that introducing such service alongside existing image sharing is not absolutely necessary.

As of March 2011, I don't think Yahoo implement the functionality you are asking for.
If you are concerned about security then the only thing I can recommend is:
Reduce the amount of time Yahoo keeps you signed in for to a day.
Implement the Sign-In Seal
Set your default Location and periodically check it to see if anyone has logged in to your account ...

You can setup a forward in your Yahoo email account. This way as soon as the email arrives in your Yahoo mailbox it will be immediately forwarded to Gmail.

...and then use the "YQL" module to execute it, producing an HTML document fragment suitable ...

It allows you to create recipes which are basically a set of actions consisting of a Trigger and an Action (to be taken on Trigger) for Channels which are apps that it supports (like Facebook or Gmail or WordPress or Date and Time, you get the idea).
