Yahoo cannot be set up via Wifi, make sure you are not on Wifi.. This has been reported by several users so far- I am looking into this tomorrow at work. You can PM me to see what I found out, if you like..

I had no problem at all, just entered login and password info, and boom - it's done. Receiving e-mails, and everything.

How!? What black magic is this??!! (Or did you connect via 3G and not Wi-Fi? )

nobody bothers to mention this dirty little secret.. i guess they figure you will just use twitter instead of email..

The IMAP settings will get hosed though anytime you turn on wi-fi. Yahoo never officially announced IMAP, seems like they want to keep it for mobiles only. That said, I have an AT&T Yahoo email since AT&T is my ISP and I had no issues setting it up for POP.
