Well, it hasn't reappeared today. I'm using the POP Yahoo I don't check my Yahoo mailing list emails from the web so that can't be the issue but surely shouldn't kmail fetch the email even if its been read via the web (or is there a setting somewhere to say ignore (or fetch) read emails that have been read)? That has been a perpetual problem with POP since the Pleistocene. There may be a kmail setting to fetch even if already read, but you do not want to go there. Every single mail would have to be fetched over and over and over by each device reading the email account until you delete it. All email readers have to be instructed to read but not delete, except one. Got more than one computer, a smart-phone, a tablet? What a mess.
Its 2015. The world has moved to Imap.
I use Yahoo via Imap (with Tbird) and android it works great that way. See: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?64390-How-to-setup-KMail-with-> Yahoo-IMAP
