POP needs to be enabled from your yahoo account, the problem is that not all the yahoo servers across the world provide this option for free...what u can do is go to your profile page and set your default yahoo server to one that has this feature unlocked (for example i have Romania,)...after setting this you should log off and sign in again and enter your mail page...and in the options section you will now find POP unlocked... the default settings for TB are very standard.... you just have to set the correct POP and SMTP adress and port in TB and your good to go !
