Lots of confusion on Yahoo Mail, so here is a quick guide. (Caveat this is for UK Users)
I'm only going to focus on POP and IMAP access here, as Yahoo via Nokia Messaging is easy to set up. If you have problems I have included the account settings at the bottom for you to check against.
1. Decide if you want POP or IMAP access.
2. Go into Email -> New Account , Wizard will start up.
3. Select Next
4. Select Region (United Kingdom)
5. Select Service Provider (Other)
Scroll down the list past .Mac to the bottom where you will see
Yahoo!Mail
Yahoo! Mail Plus
Yahoo UK
-Select Yahoo!Mail if you want IMAP access
-Select YahooMail Plus if you have paid account
-Select Yahoo UK if you want POP access
The wizard will now create the account and you are done. Make sure you do send and receive to sync your emails. This is not a push email service. If you want push email use Nokia Messaging.
For reference here are the server details that get populated by the wizard.
