| How could anyone issue a subpoena to get access to Yahoo email records when Yahoo is located in CA and we are in MD? Any idea how that would work? |

| Typically you would have to sue the person whose email it is and subpoena their email. |

| I'm looking for email records though -- log ins and ISPs and anything deleted and when. |

| Can you explain why you want this? |

| Because it would move the issue into Federal territory - rather than one between states. |

| OP, what is your case? Divorce? Violation of a noncompete clause? Intellectual property infringement? |

| Start with a Police report in the jurisdiction where you live and go from there. |

Agreed. If you need a subpoena, you need a lawyer |

| You likely have to sue the person who you suspect of hacking in the jurisdiction they reside and then follow the CA rules to get a subpoena for yahoo. In some jurisdictions you need to open a case in that state. But subpoenaing yahoo will not make it a federal case unless the defendant has violated some federal law or there is diversity jurisdiction. |
