Hope this help, cos it work well on mine.
One addition - use 3G but not WiFi.

There is some race condition bug between Yahoo IMAP servers and mail agent on N900 and if you use connection to Yahoo IMAP then it may don't recognize your login/password.

Actually, the same does exist for 3G but it much much rarely and because N900 mail agent usually tries login multiple times it passes.

I still have no time to debug that issue but I got tcpdump of both cases and clearly see the very fast answer in WiFi from Yahoo.

Interesting, but since PR1.0.1 (or PR1.1) Nokia deleted Yahoo IMAP servers from suggested configuration because of "connection problem"...
