found this solution

it worked well for me


To set up Yahoo! Mail in Android Mail:

From your Android device's Home screen, press your Android device's Menu button.
Tap Apps.
Tap the Email app icon.
Tap Other (POP3/IMAP)
Enter your Yahoo! ID and password.

If an error occurs (e.g., "Setup could not finish," etc.):

Tap Manual Setup.
Tap IMAP.
Enter the following server setting information:
Incoming server: android.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port #: 993
Security type: SSL (accepts all certificates)
Outgoing Server: android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port #: 465
Keep all other settings the same.
Complete the remaining setup process.

It is best to just use the Yahoo Mail app from the PlayStore. It works just fine.

Just found this thread because my yahoo email stopped working about 2 weeks ago. The reason why I don't want to use the yahoo email app is that I want all my emails to be in one place for me to view.

This worked on new HTC ONE M8 - default "yahoo mail" setup listed in create new mail account would not work. The yahoo mail app sucks.

Thanks smart woman, this worked perfectly!
