if you log in to the e-mail page of yahoo with your pc, you should find a manual somewhere where it is explained step by step how to set up mail clients for usage with yahoo mail, which provides also smtp(outgoing) and imap/pop(ingoing) server addresses that are important.

The easiest option (which I'm using atm) is to sign up for Nokia Messaging - http://email.nokia.com
Then add Yahoo email.
On N900, add Nokia Messaging.
Nokia Messaging will do all the settings stuff. Apparently there's a unique IMAP server address for Nokia that Yahoo provided.
All you have to do is type in your Yahoo email + password like I did.
Then add Yahoo email.

Is that working for other mail services aswell and will your emails be merged in one nokia messaging account, or do you have to create a seperate for every e-mail service?

Just beware, it may be free at the moment but Nokia makes deals with operators for them to offer the service. I had a Nokia Messaging account and used it without a fee until my operator made a deal with Nokia and now I would have to pay the operator ~5 euros a month for the service.

It'll 'sniff' for new emails on all of your accounts, then push them to the N900

i was having that same problem. I added the Nokia Messaging first, waited until it updates, THEN add the Yahoo! Mail and any other service you want.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Have tried and tried but going through automated set up, as soon as you hit save, it has a three second think about the settings, then yellow bar shows saying username or password is incorrect
having tried all variations of what username could be, and making sure password was in right case etc etc still nothing
Anyone managed to succesfully do this as yet? i searched forum and no one else lists a similar issue
Thanks
