Well in Yahoo's case, the free mail can only be viewed via webmail, and you have to view the ads at the same time. While others allow email clients to use their mail, a majority of users use the webmail product and also see the ads. Many also tag the emails with ads for their product.

They sell advertising space. That's how they make their money.
