Why does Yahoo automatically sign out or disconnect?

I have more than one Yahoo mail account, and when I sign out of one, Yahoo automatically signs me out of the other, and often when I am in the middle of emailing someone, I will get a pop-up from Yahoo telling me I have been signed out of Chat, and disconnects me. Then I have to login all over again. Why the interferance? What does signing out of one have to do with the other, and I never sign into Chat, so where does that come from? Can this interference be stopped, please?

Update:

If I log on to both accounts, and want to logoff one of them when I am finished with it, why should that automatically logoff the other?

    If you are using the New Mail, it has the messenger. Sign out of that and you shouldn't have any problems.

    in the journey that your logged into yet another yahoo provider or the e-mail it immediately signs and indicators you into the IM there which kicks you off the different client. If there is not any different project thats what going on. Their going via the way of Google likely and eliminating the computer client

    If you wanted to get on one of your other accounts, it couldn't tell which one you wanted, so instead of you going out of your way to sing out it does it for you. besides. security purposes.
