A window like the one below will open which will ask you for some information to get your account set up.

You must complete all the boxes before Yahoo! will give you an email address.

If you don't feel comfortable about giving out personal information like your birthday, you can provide a fake date. (I always make myself younger!).

Make sure you don't change the date too much as if you forget your password, Yahoo! will ask for your birthdate.
