Okay, if you want to try to set it up manually, try this (Make sure you have a signal or it won't work):

  1. From the email app, go to Preferences & Accounts
  2. Click Add An Account
  3. Tap the Email menu at the top and then choose Manual Setup
  4. Set the mail type to IMAP
  5. Type in your full Yahoo email address (ex. username@yahoo.com)
  6. For the incoming mail server type: palm.imap.mail.yahoo.com
  7. For the Username, type in your full Yahoo email address
  8. For password, your Yahoo password
  9. Change Encryption to SSL (this will change the port number to 993)
  10. Under Outgoing mail server, type palm.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
  11. Set Use Authentication to ON
  12. Under Username, type your full Yahoo email address
  13. Enter your Yahoo password
  14. Change Encryption to SSL (this will change the port number to 465)
  15. Click Sign In
That should work for you.
