Mike Easter tried to help you already. Did you not understand what he
presented ?

Yahoo free means Yahoo webmail which doesn't support the signing and
encrypting of email. You need an email client that supports PKI and an
email account providing POP/IMAP/SMTP. MS Outlook, Outlook Express and
Winmail come to mind.

You will need a Personal Certificate issued by a Certificate Authority (CA).

ADDENDUM:

Https encrypts the communication between the Browser and the web page you
connect to. It does not encrypt the email you create at that web page.
