I used these settings on my nexus one, but it only works over the cell network, so make sure you turn wifi off while you set up your email account. It won't work over wifi because Yahoo wants us to pay for Yahoo Mail Plus, which is pretty ridiculous.

"Incoming server settings"
IMAP server: imap.mail.yahoo.com , port 143

"Outgoing server settings"
SMTP server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com , port 587 , check "require sign in"

I don't think you can get yahoo mail to work until we get the Android 2.1 update. That is one of the features of the update.
