If I open a second Yahoo eMail Account I get a message that the first one is being closed because it is no longer being used. Why is having to accounts open at the same time a problem? What is the reason behind it? If I open the accounts in different browsers, no problem - so I'm guessing it's an ISP thing? I understand there are work-arounds such as Multifox (it says for Gmail, I'm assuming also eMail?) but I don't understand what the problem is.

It is due to the way that cookies are handled. Extensions such as Multifox and CookieSwap change the handling of cookies to allow you to have different logins active. This is achieved by allowing you to have multiple versions of cookies for the same site, and swapping between them to go to the different logins.
