    To use Yahoo! Mail with a program like Windows Mail, you need a paid Yahoo! Mail Plus account.  You can't use free Yahoo! Mail. 

    Here are the server settings from Yahoo! Mail Plus Help:

    Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication)
    Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com")
    Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., user@yahoo.com)
    Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password
