Yahoo is web based e-mail, unless you pay for POP through Yahoo called "Mail Plus", available for $20/month. Just in case you don't know, POP is where the e-mail is downloaded to your compuer, but web-mail is stored on the server on the web. You can usually view POP mail through the web, but it doesnt work the other way around.
Solution: sign up for POP access. This will allow that cool e-mail feature to work. You can do that through your ISP for free, Yahoo and MSN charge a little bit. I use Bluebottle (it's free!) Then set up Mail according to the e-mail server settings.

You need to upgrade your account to 'Mail Plus'. The free version doesn't allow this. Here is a link with pricing and more info on this. The feature you are looking for is POP3 access which allows you to pull your yahoo email into a different email program.
