No, you use your same 'ol username and login. However, your mail server name looks wrong. If youre using a .mac addy, try "mail.mac.com"; if you're using yahoo, try "pop.mail.yahoo.com"
Hey,
Delete the account then go to Settings -> Mail -> Add Account -> Other -> Pop, then enter name, address, and description, for incoming mail server, say pop.mail.yahoo.com and enter username (address without @yahoo.com) and password. For Outgoing mail server, say smtp.mail.yahoo.com and enter username (address without @yahoo.com) and password. If it asks, say yes to enable ssl. Hit home button and say Settings -> Mail -> [Your Account] -> Advanced. For Incoming, say Use SSL=On, Authentication=Password, Server Port=995. For Outgoing, say the same as incoming, but Server Port=465. Hope it helps!

Remember POP access for Yahoo costs money, IMAP is free. GMAIL has free IMAP also that isnt iphone exclusive.
Yahoo IMAP is iphone exclusive and not even a jailbroken ipod with the iphone apps will work with it.

That does not work for me. It says that incoming mail server is incorrect for 'pop.mail.yahoo.com'

Thanks
So do I still put the incoming and outgoing address to pop.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com?
Bitter.
I get this: "pop.mail.yahoo.com is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "incoming mail server" field.
Help?
