Last time I looked you didn't. You must pay Yahoo for the ability to
use a client. Go to yahoo and check what you need to use Pop and mail
and you can see for yourself, they may have changed things from the time
I tried. I use gmail now for all my mail.

Oh, one more thing. I use Thunderbird as my client. Now Thunderbird
does the work of setup. It checks with your mail server for the right
settings you just put your e-mail addy and password in the appropriate
box and it does the rest.

I have it set up in Thunderbird but the settings should be the same.

Go to yahoo web/mail on line click help and search mail setup/server/settings.
It is simple just get the correct ticks for 'authentication' and 'encryption '
on this AOA netbook with Ubu 10.4 I have googlemail and hotmail set up.

""Here are the basic server settings for Yahoo! Mail:
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk (use authentication,
optionally use port 587)
Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the
"@yahoo.com")
Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g. user@...)
Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password

If you can't add new POP or SMTP servers, you'll need to change your current
server settings to access your Yahoo! Mail account. Write down your current
settings first—you might need to revert to them later if you decide to send and
receive messages from your other email addresses.""

You also need to employ 'authentication'.
