you must have the premium yahoo account (pay version) in order to use SMTP/IMAP/POP clients with yahoo. If you do not have the premium/pay version of the mail, you cannot use claws or modest with yahoo.

gmail allows this in their free mail service.

I'm using claws with the free yahoo (.es) account (POP) and with my Nokia N70. You can use POP with the free Yahoo account.

pop.correo.yahoo.es
smtp.correo.yahoo.es

You can try opening a email account on yahoo.es and then you will be able to use a POP client.

Here is how you do it: Go to "Options" in your yahoo inbox, found on the top-right hand corner of the page. Then go to "More Options".
Click on "POP & Forwarding" on the left panel. Check the "Allow your Yahoo! Mail to be POPed".

On your Claws Mail, make a new account or edit the information, in the "Server Information" of "Basic" category; choose the Protocol as "POP3", server for receiving: "pop.mail.yahoo.com", SMTP server (send): "smtp.mail.yahoo.com". In the "Advanced" choose SMTP port: 465 and POP3 port: 995.

Also, take a look at this: POP Yahoo! Mail Plus with Another Email Client
Although this post is about Yahoo! Mail Plus, I just canceled out "plus" from SMTP and POP servers.

Hope you get it!
