How do I get rid of the chat window completely from my Yahoo email page?

Its just been added without me asking and its annoying. Even when I am invisible, people see me as online, so I just need rid of it again. If I wanted to chat I'd use Messenger. Grrr

How do I get rid of the chat window completely from my Yahoo email page?
Yahoo help screens say:


"How do I sign out of/disable chat?


• 1. Under “Chat ” on the left of the page, click the menu to the right of the words “I am”. This opens a pull-down menu.


• 2. Click Sign out of Chat .





Since Yahoo!7 Mail remembers your settings from session to session, you'll be signed out of chat until you change it."





I followed this and it seems to stay signed out OK so you can forget it's even there.





I also used the 'Settings' option under Chat to tell it to locate the chat window under my folders so it's less in the way and I don't even see it anymore.





I also wrote to Yahoo to tell them that they should give us an option to get rid of services we don't want....especially as I am on the paid Yahoo, not free version.
