I downloaded thunderbird and imported my yahoo mail. I realized I don't want it on my hard drive and want to use the browser interface. If I uninstall thunderbird from my computer, is all my email going to be deleted from the yahoo mail server? Thanks!

If you uninstall Thunderbird nothing happens at yahoo. What is there now stays there.

I would however suggest you get a mail provider that actually understands email. Yahoo apparently do not. If you want a good email experience avoid Yahoo/AOL>Verizon (all the same thing now)
