    Depends on the e-mail service, If we are talking about a web based e-mail service, its possible that if they go to website, the service may note that you are still logged in and show your mailbox. But most of the time, if you close the browser, you will be logged off.

    Actually with Yahoo, there is a little check box when you login, that asks if you would like this login to stay valid for future logins up to two weeks.

    On that page, it also tells you that you can change the length of time.

    So, closing the browser may or may not log you off depending on the checkbox state.
