I tried calling and emailing Yahoo for customer support, but got nowhere. Can anyone please tell me what's happening here? It seems to me that I should be concerned. Thanks.

erp,
No one will be able to see your mail without logging in, if that's what you're worried about.
Thanks.
Yes, I wouldn't want anyone to have access to my mail, but I also would like to know how and why someone was able to log on to my mail. Yahoo sent me to their FAQ page. So much for their interest in security.
I tried to solve the problem by choosing the Sitemeter option that visitors only have access to the summary and not the details. That didn't work as well I would have liked.
What I'd like to do is delete that entry, but couldn't figure out how to do it.
It's also quite possible that person A received the link in Yahoo mail, then clicked on it to generate the referal, but when you trace the link back, Yahoo notices that you're you and routes you over to your mail. You could test this by finding someone else with a Yahoo account and having them click the link. If he ends up in his mailbox, myster solved.
Actually monix offered her help and did exactly what you suggested. What came up was my Yahoo mail sign-in page. The scary part is that if I were signed in at the time, she would have had access to my mail.
Not that terrible because I don't have any confidential stuff, but iit still felt like there was an intruder in the house.
