right click the account in the folder tree and select your gmail account. In copies and folders, is is set to place things in the yahoo account?

Other ways it can happen;

  1. You have set yahoo to collect the mail from gmail on your yahoo web mail
  2. You have set Gmail to forward mail to the Yahoo account

In both cases the gmail would appear in your yahoo account when it was downloaded from the yahoo servers.

They are set to go into the gmail account and still it goes into the yahoo account.
