For Yahoo, you can also go the route of setting up an IMAP inbox. The process is generally as oulined by Linley for Gmail.

Account type: IMAP4
Incoming server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Make sure you have outgoing server authentication turned on and SSL turned off.
