With my new MBP I clicked on the stamp with the eagle and put my 4 emails into it. On one of the two yahoo emails it repeatedly asks for my password even though I click save to the keychain. Also, it repeatedly puts a tilde next to it and makes it offline or something.

Aside from my more-reliable Gmail and private server email accounts, I have some older ones on Yahoo, Live (MS) and AOL. They randomly error out, telling Mail that my password is wrong when it worked 5 minutes prior, and that causes Mail to turn around and ask for your password again. You can hit 'Cancel' to leave your password as-is.
If you are using IMAP with these services, you could try reverting to good old POP3/SMTP. That's slightly less error-prone, since it's simpler.
But it's not Apple Mail at fault. Any remote email app will have the same problem if the server doesn't act right.
