Hi peter_weed,

Here you go -

pop.mail.yahoo.com

smtp.mail.yahoo.com

You'll find directions for using them on Yahoo Help.

   4. Enter your name and email address in the spaces provided and
then click "Next."
   5. Check the "POP" radio button and type. "pop.mail.yahoo.com" in
the Incoming     Server box and then click "Next."
   6. Enter your complete email address in the User Name field and

   7. Enter a name for this account in the space provided (e.g., "Work

If you have the basic webmail account, you are restricted to using it
through their site. POP/SMTP access can, if this is the case, be added
for $19.99 a year.

try using http://www.fusemail.com which allows fetching emails from
yahoo, hotmail and aol accounts  and present it in a single interface.
They also provide imap and smtp to fetch mails in them using outlook
express

Alternatively you can setup a yahoo.co.uk account as they still offer
POP3 access for free. Then simply setup a forward in your old
yahoo.com address to forward mail to your new yahoo.co.uk address.
