After much scouring of Google and trying at least 7 different supposed fixes, restarts, etc I have found the solution!
Now I am able to send and receive emails from my Mail app for my Yahoo email account(free version not plus)! I have a HTC ThunderBolt, and like most people up until this week my Yahoo email worked fine.
Don't download the Yahoo! Mail app. Just follow the steps below!
Step 1: Go to your Account Settings
Log into your mail account on mail.yahoo.com and go to "Account Info"(under your name at the very top left of the page next to the Yahoo logo)
Step 2: Go to Asia!
Scroll down to Account Settings and click "Set language, site, and time zone". Under "Regional Site and Language" change it to "Yahoo! Asia" and hit the save button
Step 3: Options > More Options
Go back to mail.yahoo.com and on the right are links for "Mobile, Options, Help"(under the search bar). Click on "Options" for the drop down menu, and click "More Options"
Step 4: POP goes the weasel
In the left menu click the link for "POP & Forwarding". Select the radio button for "Allow your Yahoo! Mail to be POPed"
Step 5: Set up a POP mail account on your android device
Incoming mail settings
