The email account is somewhat irrelevant as you have a few different ways of accessing any email account, independent of who provides it.
On what physical device are your reading and writing your emails? 1) MacBook, MacBookPro, IMac or MacPro 2) iPhone, iPad 3) Other If your using an MacBook, or MacBookPro or iMac or MacPro, in the top left corner to the right of the Apple icon, does it say; 1) Mail 2) Safari 3) Firefox 4) Chrome 5) Outlook 6) Thunderbird 7) 'Other' If it says, Safari, Firefox or Chrome then your using a Web Interface to access your email. This means you can access your emails from any computer with a internet connection. If it says, Mail. Then this is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) Client Application, written by Apple and provided free and is the default mail client for Mac's (This is a program that lets your read and write emails). >From the sounds of it, the fact your saying your at the Yahoo home page. Means to me your using a Web Browser, Firefox, Safari or Chrome. You have opened anyone of these applications, entered www.yahoo.co.uk (or similar url). This is a Web Interface to access your email. The reason I'm trying to work out what device your using, and if its a application or webmail, the answer to your question and how to give you support varies hugely.
