Right-click on the header columns and add the "E-mail Account" column.
That will tell you through which account an e-mail was received.

Apparently you can receive okay from Yahoo's POP3 mail server. It is
only when trying to send using Yahoo's SMTP server that you run into a
problem. Is that correct? Do you know if your ISP actually allows
off-domain SMTP access? They may be blocking any traffic that uses port
25 to prevent spammers from spewing crap over their network to some SMTP
mail server on some other domain. In that case, your ISP requires that
you use their SMTP server for all outbound e-mail. You will need to
check with your ISP if they permit off-domain SMTP access (i.e., whether
or not they will permit port 25 traffic on their domain to somewhere
else off their domain). If they don't, you will have to configure your
POP3 Yahoo accounts to use Yahoo's POP3 mail server to yank your
incoming e-mails and use your ISP's SMTP server to push your outbound
e-mails.
