Yahoo! does not allow POP access for free mail accounts. I used to have YPops! to download mails to my e-mail client. But, now I am in Ubuntu and I can't get YPops! to run. So, I will get Yahoo! to grant me POP access. :)
Let's enable POP access for Yahoo! Mail.
1. Sign In to Yahoo! Mail
2. On top-right corner of the page, click on 'Options
'. In the drop-down, click on 'Mail Options
'
3. In the left menu, click on 'Account Information
'. Enter mail password again (if asked).
4. Under 'Account Settings
', click on 'Set language, site, and time zone
'
5. Under 'New Setting
' drop-down, select 'Yahoo! Asia
'
6. Click on 'Finished
'. Accept the agreement.
7. Sign Out and Sign In again
8. Repeat Step 2
9. In the left menu, click on 'POP & Forwarding
'
10. Click on 'Set up or edit POP & Forwarding
'
11. Check 'Web & POP Access
'
12. Click 'Save
'
Voila!!!
Now, we can download Yahoo! Mail directly using any mail client.

This is excellent advice, I was extremely frustrated that yahoo do not provide a simple service for free. Thanks again!
Awesome.
This still works and it is awesome. I used to use MacFreePops, but it stopped working during July 2010. I'm glad I can now get my Yahoo mail via MacOS Mail again. -- Thanks!
