I tried this last month and it didn't work for me. Even after I switched to Yahoo Asia I did not have the option to enable Pop3.

I think it may have something to do with how old your Yahoo account is. Mine is about a year or so old.

I have the exact same issue, but my yahoo account is over 5 years old.

Thank you! I was using the IMAP setup all through November, it was a little buggy at best but it worked until last week. Then I tried this method today on my yahoo account that I had created back in 2001 and it worked. I did have problems initially when manually configuring in DROID but I waited about 5 minutes and it worked. Not sure if I was fat fingering it or what

It works for me now! At first, I didn't see the options for pop3 and forwarding, then a I checked it about a week later, and now the options are there.

Or you can click this link to take you directly to the pop3/forwarding options:
http://popfwd.mail.yahoo.com/pf/PopFwd?.done=http://in.f951.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Options&rand=1255761663 . If it does not work, then replace the part after the “done=” with the server address from the url you see when you go to the Options screen from your own Yahoo Mail account
