I believe I have Yahoo Mail over IMAP working on the N900 over both GPRS and WiFi.
I originally followed the Wiki of setting it up over GPRS first which works, but its still wouldnt connect over WiFi.

First to note is that from the N900 email app, I chose 'Other' as the mail type.
I used the settings from the Wiki [http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Email_Opt...Mail_and_IMAP],
but ALSO had to enable the Secure Authenticaion option, which I think was off by default.

Additional options are in RED which works for me without using Nokia Messaging.

Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com

Secure authentication - tick or enable

Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)

Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Secure authentication - choose Login

Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL)

Username: full email address (e.g., bill@yahoo.com)

Password: is the password you login to Yahoo! with
