On a general basis, one can go to the web address http://members.yahoo.com/ and type the yahoo ID to find out the name of the person. But it the anonymous sender have not filled up his profile properly, it will be difficult for your to know the person.
But if you feel you must know the sender then yes there are ways to find out the person by tracking the IP address of the person who send you the mail. You can visit www.easywhois.com and find out the details there.
Email is the most widely used application on the internet. Hotmail, Yahoo mail, Gmail are the most popular free web based email service providers. Paid email services can be accessed using email clients like Outlook and Outlook Express. I have found more information on how email works and how

Depends on where it came from and if the person put info in the profile.
For Yahoo, you can check here:
http://members.yahoo.com/
You can usually only trace e-mail if it was threatening.
