Highlight your Inbox and click Files New Folder and type the name you want
for your Yahoo Mail. To have the Yahoo mail go into that folder you have to
apply Message Rules. Click on Message, Create Rule from message. If you
need any help with creating message rules just repost.
There may be other ways of doing this that I am not aware of but I know this
works.

You simply need to create a new folder (File/Folder/New) and give it a
descriptive name.

Next select Tools/Message Rules/Mail. Click the New button and in the
Conditions section click the "Where the To line contains people" option. In
the Actions section, click the "Move it to the specified folder" option.

In the Description section, select the "Contains people" link, type in your
email address and click Add/OK. Now click the "Specified" link and point it
to the folder you just created. Click Apply/OK.

All of the email for the account you specified in the rule will
automatically be placed in the new folder you created.
