Unless you paid for premium account (or whatever their version of paid service is), yahoo mail does not allow you to use a mail client to access your email via POP or IMAP. One of the best free mail services that offer this is gmail, so you may consider switching to that.

If you use the uk version it is possible to get it in evolution, but others don't work.

Can you help with this problem?
