why and how do l get rid of the window that always appears

[Applet]

in one of my user accounts in my MBPR?
it says "iMessage Password please enter your password for *****@yahoo.com" ??
there is a 'Mail' linked to my yahoo address, would using this mean l can attach large attachments? >100MB?

thanks

I don't think that's what it means.

I suspect that the iMessage app is trying to sync with the yahoo message server and there is a password issue. I sometimes get a similar message when some locations such as business office block the protocol which is used for messaging

The 'process name' in the activity monitor, doesn't even appear, otherwise l'd just force it to quit.

The app is actually named "Messages" and is a part of OS X. If you don't want it to sync to your yahoo account, open Messages/Preferences/Accounts and disable the Yahoo account.
