A dedicated free Yahoo app called Yahoo Mob pushed to the Android Market today that allows access to your Yahoo mail, news and search.

It complements the IMAP solution (greenmesh 11/11/09) and the paid Yahoo premium solution that allows POP access to your Yahoo account though the combined inbox on the Droid.

I tested Yahoo Mob. Sending and receiving emails worked as did receiving attachements. There is also access to a Yahoo News categories and Yahoo Search.

I still prefer the IMAP solution for Yahoo as it combines your contact lists and sends notifications for emails automatically.

Manual settings to set up Yahoo Mail as IMAP in the Droid combined Inbox as the original link I referred to is down.

Incoming server settings
IMAP server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 143

Outgoing server settings
SMTP server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 587
