I have been using yahoo for my email for the past few years and would like to get away from it. I'm not interested in a website at the moment but I assume that you still have to have a domain name to get a personalized email address?
Any recommendations on who to use to get things set up?

I think that Danica's friends at godaddy can fix you up.
http://www.webmasters.com/domains/
domain $9.95/year
down the page under "Optional Features"
email $9.95/year http://www.webmasters.com/domains/domain_registration.htm#Email
I have used them for several years, good service.
PS: I recommend the Private Registration option
all of the above with web hosting is $100/year... and they will upgrade/downgrade seamlessly at no charge.
Take a look at Godaddy.com. Great prices, you can start simple and build to bigger things. Very easy to use if you want to have a do it yourself web page.
NameCheap is where I have my domain through, used to be with GoDaddy. GoDaddy spammed me all the time, I changed to where I am now on the advice of our host here, Wendell.
Wendell also hosts my web site but I would also use NameCheap for that if he wasn't.

Send Wendell an email. He will take care of ya.
GoDaddy is not a good choice. One of my sons is getting nickel and dimed to death by them. Their "basic" plan as advertized sounds good, but then they add on a lot of stuff that's very, very difficult to get rid of. Wendell would be a far superior choice.

This is the company that doesn't have to use the pretty girls to attract customers (no complaints here though). They have been in the business longer and for what you are wanting probably at a cheaper price.
Wendell can do that for you.
You can have your own domain without a website or your own server. At some point if wish to have a website you will need somewhere to put it.
Wendell can help with that as well.
And... no, I'm not affiliated. 🙂
If you want to just register a domain name, I recommend NameCheap.
If you want to go beyond that (warning: blatant plug), as others have said, I can help you with that. 🙂
