yahoo mail sync with native mail app?

Sorry if this has Been asked a million times but can I add a yhoo mail account to the android mail app? I have tried various settings in the manual add section but can't add a yahoo mail account..... would much prefer not to use the yahoo mail app from the store!

here is how i set mine up and it works, i just have to have wifi off if i wanna check my yahoo mail. its kindof annoying but not a dealbreaker by any means.

Make sure Wi-Fi is turned off
Press the E-Mail icon (the default Android E-Mail application)
Enter your Yahoo E-Mail address and password
Press “Manual Setup” in the lower left hand corner
For “Incoming Server Settings” set the IMAP server to “imap.mail.yahoo.com” and the Port to 143
(use tls)
Just found this from may... stock mail with yahoo finally working.
There was more to this post but these are the only settings i need to change
