I am having the same problem, but with a twist. I have no notes in my yahoo account, but have a few left on my iPad. I went to yahoo.com via a laptop and not my iPad.
Maybe if you provide some background info, like:
1- The iOS version you're using.
2- What email accounts are you currently using?
3- Do you have an iCloud email account?
4- Go into Settings/Mail,.../(email account) and see if Notes is turned ON.
5- Go into Settings/Notes and see what you have for "Default Account".
6- Are you actually missing notes? Not clear on what symptom you have.
Just a few random comments while you answer the above:
If you don't have any email accounts that support Notes, or if they support it but you have it turned OFF, then any notes you enter on your device will reside only on your device. These notes are part of your backup, so if you ever do lose or accidentally delete them you should be able to recover them by restoring from your device backup.
Once you enable an email account that supports notes, and new note will get saved to whatever account you've designated as the default. Also, once you enable an email account for notes, you can no longer save notes to the device only -- all new notes get saved with the email account you choose.
However, any existing notes that are only on your device from a time before you enabled an email account for notes, those notes remain on your device and they do not automatically get pushed to an email account even if you enable such an account. If you want to associate those notes with an email account, you need to copy the content of the notes and paste them into new notes associated with the account.
If you have multiple email accounts that support notes, the Notes app lets you show all Notes, including those that may be only on your device, or show only notes associated with a particular account (or just the notes that aren't associated with any account). Because of this, some people think they've lost a note when in reality they've accidentally set Notes up to show only a particular account.
