Yes, by checking their IP address and their mail server.
Here's how:
1. Open that threatening e-mail in yahoo
2. Go to the end of the e-mail; at the bottom right corner there is a link 'Full Headers', click that
3. you will see a bunch of information, find 'X-originating IP' (e.g: 123.11.22.33). This is the sender's IP address.
4. check the mail server as well, find 'received from:' (e.g.: received from: ........ @provider.com)
5. Go to that internet provider (e.g AT&T, bell, aol, etc)
6. ask them who subscribed to that IP. They will have the name, address, and phone# of the sender of the e-mail. But most likely they wont disclose this information without a police beside you.
Good Luck.

you can report it to yahoo directly. Most police depts now have internet departments...they can get the info for investigating whether or not you really have a problem.
You can also look on yahoo IM and see the profile, I think all Yahoo services have profiles, you don't know it they told the truth though.

You can bring a copy of the e-mail to your local police station they have the capability to trace and give you information. Especially if is something that is threatening.
