Yahoo Email, as with any email, is only as secure as your password. A weak password will allow password cracking programs quick access into it. Learn how to make a strong password and use it. Change it often. Many people use the same password for years and then can't understand how their email got hacked.
This Microsoft site has good info on making a strong password.

It is not like Yahoo! or not. All email programmes are vulnerable to hacking, and if talented hackers exist, information can be stolen. I advise you do not send personal information or other sensitive details.

Email is like sending a post card through the mail. Anyone at the post office can read it. Cypherix.com has free email encryption software.
