it's been widely known that you cannot download your yahoo e-mail into e-mail application using pop3. especially from yahoo.com (but you still can do it if you're singaporean or indonesian yahoo base)
but to my surprise, you still can 'download' your yahoo e-mail using imap4! yey! ..
using a versamail, which is a default e-mail client in treo650. you can read your yahoo e-mail.
here's the step :
- create a new account in versamail. in menu Accounts/ Account Setup. or using shorcut menu button and W.
- click on new.. button.
- fill in any name on account name. let's put in yahooimap.
- choose mail service: other.
- choose protocol : IMAP, click next button
- fill in your yahooID on username, and the password, clik next button
- fill in your complete yahoo e-mail. it should be [yourYahooID]@yahoo.com
- fill in imap.n.mail.yahoo.com on incoming mail server
- and smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com on outgoing mail server
- click next button
- later click advanced button.
- leave it as default for port number, which is 143 and uncheck the SSL option
- click next
- leave it as default for port number, which is 25 and uncheck the SSL option. but put a checkmark on ESMTP
- done

Excellent tips. I nearly gave up on this until I found your page. Note, you don't have to be in Asia to use these tips!
