For Yahoo, POP.ATT.YAHOO.COM will require SSL. You won't be able to use this server. Currently, you can still use the old servers.

pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com

for SMTP, use:

smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com:587

When you use these servers, AT&T will send you an email saying not to use these servers and to switch your email software to the secure servers. I've been getting these emails for over a year. Eventually, they will turn off these and us Newton/Yahoo users will need to find another way to connect.
