Yahoo POP3 and SMTP Settings:

Find below the basic POP3 settings that you need to configure in the email program where you want to access Yahoo mails.

• Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)
• Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: 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

Note that you also need to enable “Web & POP Access” on your Yahoo Mail account to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages through any other email program.

• Log on to your Yahoo mail account
• If you’re using the new Yahoo Mail interface, Click “Options” in the upper-right corner of the page, then choose “Mail Options” from the pull-down menu and On the left side of the page, select the “POP & Forwarding” option.If you’re using the original Mail interface, click “Mail Options” in the upper-right corner of the page, then click the “POP Access and Forwarding” link.
• On the “Pop Access and Forwarding” page, choose the “Web & POP Access” section.

Next you need to configure your Yahoo POP3 and SMTP settings into your other mail program, to access Yahoo mails via the other program.

How To: Set Up Yahoo Mail to work thru GMail
A lot of people have been complaining on not being able to get Yahoo Mail working on their Droid's. So here is a work around for you.

To enable the POP3 access for your free yahoo mail account, all you have to change is the preferred content, setting it to Asia.
Step 1
Select Options->Mail Options, then Account, followed by “Add or edit an account”.

Image 1: Don't be afraid to click the "Add or edit an account" link. It will take you to the old Yahoo Mail interface, but this change is only temporary.

Step 2
Select, the Accounts link on the left of the windows that opens. From the window that opens, select “Account Information” on the left. Then, set: Preferred Content: Yahoo Asia, by clicking on the Edit link, like in this screenshot:

Step 3
Logout and login.

Then, you can enable POP access and change settings, by clicking, from the mail inbox:
