If Yahoo has imap then instructions should be on their site. Maybe
not for Apple Mail, but for any other. All you really need are the
proper port numbers and SSL required options.
IMHO, anyone who uses Email across the Internet (i.e. somewhere other than
their ISP) without using secure connections is seriously asking for it.
Pretty much everyone offers it nowadays.
A quick Google turned up the following hostnames:
imap.mail.yahoo.com (a post said to use plus.imap.mail.yahoo.com but this
does not exist)
Port: 993
plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com port 465
Depending on how organised they are, you may get certificate warnings
about non-matching hostnames. As I suspect these addresses don't always
resolve to the same host, you may want to just tell Mail to be happy
rather than adjust your settings to match whatever the certificate says
the hostname should be.
Also, I suspect that sometimes Yahoo uses different hosts depending on
exactly where you have your account, so these may not work for you.
If a Plus account means it's paid, there should presumably be someone to
ask about this.
