I'm trying to set up an email program on my computer but I don't know what the server for Yahoo! mail is (I have an english/UK account). Some must know, surely.

First, a basic FYI for anyone reading these answers, if you want to POP your Yahoo mail, you need to be using the premium, Yahoo! Mail Plus service. It's not available on the free account. http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-40.html
POP access is also available if you purchase some of the other premium services, like Yahoo! Web Hosting Business Standard, Professional and Yahoo! Mail - Business Edition, Yahoo! GeoCities Pro, etc.
Just in case, here are the basic server settings for Yahoo! Mail:
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com (use authentication, optionally use port 587)

Bub2312 is correct.
Your username at Yahoo.co.uk will route the emails to your computer correctly.
The mail server is not a single computer, it's a networked system where the central sorting office has a single address to identify it.

I don't know about the UK. I do know in the US you have to have a Mail Plus account (or better) to be able to use SMTP and POP3.
