The only way to obtain such information from Yahoo! or any other third party email provider is through the issuance of a subpoena in California. There is cost associated with complying with such a request, and the internet service provider, here Yahoo!, could decide to resist the subpoena. I have dealt with issues involving these types of requests but in other contexts and would be willing to consult with you or your attorney on a retained basis if needed. Please contact me at the information below if you would like to explore that possibility.
