My status becomes available when I check my mail
My status becomes available when I check my mail. Every time I sign on to check my mail people send me instant messages. Is there a way to stop this? Thanks for a reply.

Allow Yahoo! web sites to show when I am online—You can uncheck this option on the Privacy pane of the Messenger Preferences window to prevent other users from discovering your true availability. When this option is enabled, other users can view your profile, Yahoo! 360°, or other pages and see that you’re actually online. Not available with Pingbox visitors.

Note: Your Yahoo! Mail contacts who use Mail’s chat feature will be able to see you online even if you have this option unchecked.
