If you cant figure out how to use your free yahoo mail with the mail program on mac there is a pretty simple trick to help you out

i've been meaning to post this for awhile just keep forgetting

login to yahoo mail and change the settings to yahoo asia ( which is what i used and it works...) or its been reported that yahoo Great Britain might work as well

then in yahoo setting allow pop forwarding you have to switch it manually

Then your ready to work with apple mail

go to preferences and add your account

type in login and it will say it failed click contiuue

change account type to pop

and in comming server to pop.mail.yahoo.com

any questions and ill see what i can do

...

and

tested it agian to make sure it still works and not problem at all works with out a hitch

have video of it so that i will post if anyone needs it

imap account also seems to work give it a try and let me know

glad it helped some one... took a few hours of research about a year ago and have been meaning to let others know
 
After I installed Lion and set up my free Yahoo Mail it started working like a charm. I have had no problems. I did not have to change any settings.
