I'm trying to set up Mail on my mac. it says my incoming mail server is wrong, is it pop or IMAP?

i have tried to set Mail up with a POP account, and i have read some sources stating that you need to pay for yahoo!POP access to set up Mail, or 3rd party, then i was reading some more about IMAP address? so I'm not really sure which one i need to use or if i need to subscribe to yahoo! help please! i want to use Mail. thnx
Answer:

In order to use a separate email program, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, or Thunderbird, with Yahoo Mail you need to pay for Yahoo Mail Plus. It is also required when you try to transfer the mail using smtp or pop3 to another online email. When you do you can set the servers as follows (these are recent changes): Incoming (pop3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com Outgoing (smtp) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com As an alternative there is an add on called YPOPS that you can download and try. ✔
