Steps:

1) Used "Others" as service provider when setup the account

2) on the incoming server used "imap.mail.yahoo.com"

3) outgoing is smtp.mail.yahoo.com

user_name < --- without the @yahoo.com
your_passwd


The rest u can uncheck.

work great for me!!!
It works for me too but I observe the unstable behavior over WiFi. Via 3G I have a stable connection and mail retrieval but via WiFi sometime it works but most of cases it rejects with invalid login. I researched it a little and I think it is some race condition and invalid setup in Yahoo.

And I noted that PR1.1 update removed IMAP access to Yahoo! Mail but leaved Y!+
I filled a bug and got response - "won't fix because Y! has unstable results".
